“If the president bombs without congressional approval, I will move to impeach.” Guess which U.S. senator said that. Don’t look until you guess, and prepare to be surprised.

The Syria plan was just made public:

If Obama strikes Syria in support of the Muslim brotherhood he should be charged at least with same charges as John Walker Linn ?
Just cruising headlines and didn't read the whole thing, but oh boy, this's going to get interesting.

"STUNNING DEFEAT: UK Votes Against Syria Strike, Obama in a Bind"
Events are moving too fast, dammit. This is the problem with recording a commentary on Thursday to be played on the radio Saturday. My piece for this Saturday is titled, "The case for impeachment" and while it doesn't rely totally on Obama firing cruise missiles into Syria, that's how it starts. And unfortunately I mention that Cameron was getting approval from Parliament.
For those days when you're in a hurry and only have a few minutes while the c[_] 's brewing, this is a fast, usually pretty good overview. But I'm still trying to hit every darn one from yesterday.

Here's just one of the 8 or 10 featured links “just muscular enough not to get mocked.”, check out the one on Texas' new raaaaaaacist voter ID law too. affected 2 of 1,700 voters the other day in Galveston. (and they got a provisional vote)

Without a Senate trial, what's the benefit of impeachment?
Here's what I noticed today: the world is isolating him. Putin and the Chinese thnk he's a pussy, the Brits and the UN ignored him on the Syria question, Iran does whatever it wants, Egyptian civilians turned on him, the Israelis hate him, etc etc. this guy is alone other than his handlers including Valerie Jarrett. That's it. The moronic electorate who blindly follow him are irrelevant because he doesn't need their votes anymore. They can allege racism all they want but no one who opposes him gives a damn anymore.
What's the benefit? I think in life in general you do the right thing even when you suspect doing the right thing is futile. Otherwise you're John Boehner. You impeach this guy because he's violating his oath of office, you send it over to the Senate, and you let Harry Reid go on record explaining why it's okay for Obama to wage war without congressional approval, pick and choose which laws to enforce, and institute new taxes.
In principle I agree with you but the current House leadership is incapable of articulating anything much less the criminal actions of this President and administration. Boehner is a fool and by bringing articles of impeachment without a coherent argument is not only futile it would be political suicide as the 2014 elections are only a year out and if the GOP loses the House, this country is done for good. Remember, Reid has the MSM to amplify his justification for not trying Obama. They would own the narrative.
Obama is doing a good job isolating himself as I said before. He will do himself in politically. It's already happening. Look at Obamacare, the Farm Bill/ food stamp bill, gun control, F&F, Benghazi, amnesty, Egypt, and oil production. Life is moving on without him. He is getting his agenda shoved up his a$$. Syria is his wag the dog moment a la Clinton and Bosnia. Kerry's speech was desperate. Impeachment would only bring sympathy from the millions of LOFO voters. Just let this presidency die a natural death. He will likely take the modern progressive movement back at least a decade.
Why would it be political suicide? Because black people will refuse to vote for Republicans?
No because there are enough districts that are purple at best that could flip to hand the House over to the Dems. 2006 is a recent example. Impeachment solves nothing. The bastard should be frog-marched right out of the White House and charged with multiple conspiracy...murder and treason charges for starters. That's about as likely as a Senate trial. Hey, if Boehner can make the case and break through liberal clutter, I'm all for it. He can't and won't because he is neck deep in the same corruption as BHO.
At the federal level, Article II of the United States Constitution (Section 4) states that "The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors."
this does NOT apply to obama, y'all.
He's not legally the President, ergo the rules for impeachment do NOT apply. Better to say indictment, as it applies to civilian nationals as well as aliens.
also: From The American Legion magazine July 2013 Rapid Fire, pg 58 Verbatim: "'This war, like all wars, must end. That's what history advises. That's what our democracy demands.'
President (sic) Barack Obama, in a May 23 speech at National Defense University, saying that the 2001 congressional authorization for use of military force after 9/11 should be revised and repealed. Declaring that al-Qaida is on the road to defeat, he defended drone airstrikes* and called again for closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility. Sen. Linsey Graham, R-S.C., disagreed, (as do I) arguing that the war on terrorism is not 'winding down,' but 'morphing.'"
* So he could use them to kill an American citizen instead of relying on Due Process.
AFRO-K!
Because the world is figuring out that the rebels aka al Qaeda backed jihadi MB types launched the chemical weapons.
Oh and don't think that the Brits aren't giving Obama the finger for the insults and shoddy treatment they've received from him.
At least POTUS Bush was an American and not a kenyan illegally squatting in OUR White House.
we kicked george 3 out, past time we dragged obama out to the tar and feather factory, and finish up with a good old hemp party, if you know what i mean, nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more.
It's so wonderful to see someone's statements come back to bite them in the butt. Or in this case, in the plugs. Stand clear, the spin cycle is about to shove into warp speed.
Like I said before, let the turban wearing nutcases kill each other, when they are busy doing that, they are not so much of a problem with us....Why the hell would we intervene? Isn't this what Obutthead claimed Bush did twice with no authorization? And now we get the WMD bullshit and the liberals expect us to believe them after they raised a shit stink over what was said before the Gulf war? If we really wanted to end the problem drop the liberals on Syria, Start with that batshit crazy bunch of libturd senators in D.C.....I can't see how this is going to end well for any of us....But hey Obutthead doesn't think about that...
The only place that this country needs to bomb is a small district close to Maryland. Then we could really clean out the swamp.
Amen, Amen, AMEN!
Can we use gas of some kind? There are some cool old buildings in some areas of that district.
well, if someone were to say, strike a match after halalfallafel time on 9-11 then we could gut the whole steenkeeng place AND dispose of some unnecessary and unneeded punk azzd bit che's.
OR even better, dome it off and let them suffocate, then call feeble fema in to haul off the bodies to be chopped up, and then dropped on Vegas, that way entire families can enjoy the fun.
Our representitives are all to dirty to impeach him. If they had morals there would be no dirt but everyone has too many skeletons to stand up. DIRTY AHOLES every last one!!! We no longer have freedom religious or otherwise there is barly anything left for our brave young men to fight for!!!
By surprised you mean not so much?
I thought the nice young Lady* all those many years ago told me it was the House that impeached a president, with the Senate acting as jury deciding if they proved their case and the Chief Justice calling fair and foul. But, I'm just a bitter clinger.
Not only am I loving the glaring hypocrisy on display, we get a two-fer with another BiteMe gaffe for free.
*That's a lie, she was neither nice nor young. Old as the hills even then and swung a mean hickory stick. The thought that she's still alive and surfing the webz today is scaring the snot out of me all over again.
