Ignoring the law - isn’t that synomymous with BREAKING the law?

And wasn’t Richard Nixon forced to resign for a much less serious breach of the law than releasing highly classified national secrets, or of just ordering the implementation of a policy that was nowhere supported by force of law, or by selective refusal to enforce law already on the books that has the specific responsibility for keeping the civil order?

This isn’t about a traffic ticket, or simply insulting an officer of the law - this is outright DEFIANCE of clearly written and existing law that has serious consequences.

There are three chances of impeaching Barack Hussein, fat, slim and none. And not one of them has any possibility of removing him from office.

Even if the House COULD be persuaded to take up articles of impeachment, the Senate would never act.

“Stroke of the pen, law of the land - cool”, was once famously remarked, but this isn’t even a stroke of the pen.

Just an oral demand, with zip for authority.

So we should just roll over and accept totalitarianism?
Speak for yourself.

If action is not taken now, it is no longer a "slippery slope;" We will be staring into the abyss.

What if congress received 25,000,000 demands to impeach?

Possible? I actually think so. There must be at least twice that many working (non union), net taxpaying outraged American citizens left!
