This has been going on for awhile. I can’t believe no one posted it. As usual Trey Gowdy was great.

They’re building the case right now.

There’s a pattern of unconstitutional behavior.

Next question: Is it impeachable?

GO AHEAD GOP, BUILD THE CASE!

Turley is saying take the unconstitutional acts to court to challenge standing.

The I word.

I heard Michael Medved saying how he was all for Clinton’s impeachment but in retrospect it backfired. So he wouldn’t be for an Obama impeachment.

I think that’s a view of the GOPe and others who don’t want to appear to extreme or radical.

But, Medved seems to forget that Al Gore lost.

Impeachment of Clinton was not futile or counter productive.

It did hurt the congressional careers of certain leaders at the time, eg Jim Rogan, who was targeted and lost his seat.

But without it the sitting VP most likely would have won the 2000 election.

So don’t let the naysayers make this argument.

If they argue Clinton’s impeachment backfired, just ask them what does President Gore think of that premise?

I don’t have “Front Page New” on my side bar so I didn’t know it was going. Usually important hearings people put in “Breaking News”

Put the heat on Obama - REAL HEAT - and he’ll crack.

Start at least talking about impeachment and LAY DOWN THE REASONS WHY and the majority of American people will rally around it.

Clinton was impeached but not convicted, so he will always be an impeached president. Somehow people seem to forget that.

Because he was impeached proved that the Constitution was still in effect back then. We can thank a few pre-GOPe senators for his not being convicted.

Don't know what to say about Obama and his persistent infractions of the rule of law, common decency and common sense.

Obama certainly would not be removed from office either given the Senate.

Impeach?

Congressional Republicans don’t even have the balls to issue this POS a subpoena.

Cowardly traitors, all.

This should be required viewing. I think Professor Turley is a great witness!

This is useful. It gets people in America slowly more comfortable with the idea, and explains the case why Obama must be removed.

I think there is a huge swatch of Americans who are absolutely furious at Obama. I do believe he some leaders made the case for why Obama should be impeached, tying his lying about Obamacare to not executing the laws of the land, plus all the other scandals, I believe Americans would rally around it.

Facebook delited this so im posting it everywhere

Years ago I talked at length with a black missonary from africa he says that the concept or definition of “truth” in africa is not the same definition we have...most americans dont understand this....I dont really understand this....it seems that “truth” in africa is not a constant.....it can change....is subjective and situational.......there can be many truths for the same observed circumstance...and they can change over time.....its fluid. and dreams are often subscribed more validity than waking observation.....So.....many africans and some asians....do not understand our definition of TRUTH.....therefore they also dont understand our definition of LIE. This missonary fellow was at a loss....suggesting that there is no hope for africa untill this basic logical disparity is confronted.........This concept also effects the ability to oratoratate and assume new languages ...because there is very little emotional connotation associated with the words being practiced....free to say what ever is required to move or shape the environment....Obama doesnt lie exactly....He doesnt understand the concept of TRUTH.....Go ahead try a polygraph.....Its been done on many of his speeches....To no useful effect......He doesnt know what a lie is.
