In a speech last Friday at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Sen. Sessions is quoted by The Hill as stating:
“No, we are not going to impeach or have a move to impeach. The president has certain powers. We truly believe, and I think it's accurate to say he abused those powers.”
Well, of course the Senate is not going to impeach Traitorobama, because that is a Constitutional responsibility of the House. And if Sessions is speaking on behalf of all Republicans in the House, that seems to be somewhat presumptuous of the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee. Sessions is also quoted as saying:
“I can’t recall such a massive alteration of the classical understanding of what laws mean in America being wiped out."

“He [Obama] undermined, in my view, the moral integrity of immigration law and basically even the constitutional separation of powers.”

If Sessions really made these statements, then for him to suggest the House Republicans will not impeach Traitorobama is for him in effect to suggest that House Republicans will gang rape the oath each of them made to support and defend the Constitution against a traitor who has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

A BS tactic. It’s like picking a fight with the cable company, refusing to pay your bill, coming to an “agreement” that does next to nothing, and paying the past due amount with all demand fines.

The GOPe will play-act and go through the motions, but they are secretly glad about Obama's executive amnesty.

It does not matter if it took 100 votes in the Senate!

You are missing the point.... By doing NOTHING about it, they become ceremonial.

It will not matter what they pass now.. Because he will just shut it down.

This is NOT rocket science. By doing NOTHING about it, the congress is saying the Executive Branch can Break the law.

What you are talking about can be done IN ADDITION............... to impeach and remove.

If they DO NOT..., then THEY ARE IRREALIVANT AND CERIMONIAL.

THERE IS NO CHOICE.

Spot on! Unless the Constitution is followed, honored and faithfully applied it is dead. What a legacy this greedy, and useless bunch will have. Vetting an unknown even though his own biography says he is Kenyan and he used that biography for 16 years and he was selectively certified by Pelosi who knew things were horseshirt. Our once rock solid basis for a Republic that is the strongest nation in the world is systematically being thrashed by crooks, hooligans and power hungry trash. May they sizzle in Hell. I look forward to seeing the hero that emerges and saves our Republic.

Why would the impeachment process take so long?
____________________________________________________________

Have you EVER known the Government to do ANYTHING expeditiously? The House has to investigate, compile all materials from the investigation and then have a Trial. If they vote to Impeach, then it is a long process transferring the “evidence” for Impeachment to the Senate. Then the Senate debates on whether or not to “convict” with a 2/3 vote. Do a Google Search on Presidential Impeachment Process if you have time and don’t mind being bored.

Cutting off the federal wallet to a bunch of lazy moochers like the Democrats is long past overdue but then again as long as Bonehead and McCoward are in charge of the GOP all this is a bunch of talk.

‘serious mischief’, ‘loftier position’.

The language is stuck in a time warp. For the NYTs, it will always be 1974.

At this point any signings by the Executive Brach,,,,,is simply to make these gutless collaborators feel like they are still relevant.

Has the Executive Order been signed? Last account it had NOT. Obama could be "blowing smoke" up Congress' skirt.

I did not see the article anywhere and then I did a “Search” using keywords: “Sessions”, “shutdown”, etc. Nothing came up so I went ahead and posted. Sorry.

To: Carl Vehse; All

I agree with what one FReeper said earlier. We would NEVER get 67 Votes in the Senate to convict, so, we have to resort to other measures. Speaking metaphorically here: If someone is trying to kill you and you can’t physically stop them, get a knife. If that doesn’t stop them, get a gun. Use what you have to use.

It was posted on Yahoo News stories. I don’t read any newspaper since the advent of the internet. I can’t wait until the day they become totally irrelevant.
