Another FReeper posted a comment sometime back that closing the purse strings that would finance Obama's Immigration Plan is much more effective than Impeachment. By the time the Impeachment Process was completed, Obama would only have a couple of months left in office and nothing would be accomplished because The Senate and House would be tied up with the process. So, just cut off th money. Makes sense to me.

The impeachment process would take less than two years?

That’s funny. How many years ago was Benghazi? The IRS scandal discovery? Issas fast and furious?

Who would run it?

Crazy talk

He (Sessions) is planning much more serious mischief: using Congress’s power of the purse to pressure the White House into backing off.

Trust me; the Dems and Libs of America would MUCH rather see an Impeachment attempt than this. This could actually "cripple" Obama for his last two years. Impeachment would just make him a living martyr. IMO..... if the House does Impeach (like they did Clinton), the chicken s**t Senate would never vote two-thirds to convict. Just a waste of time.

I feel like the media is grabbing us by the hair on the back of our head and slamming our face into a steel table every day with the impeachment stuff.

Do us all a favor, MSM, and unless our representatives have a change of heart and decide to pursue impeachment, stop telling us that they won’t. We’re tired of hearing it. It’s just noise at this point intended to stoke the fires of the conservative electorate.

Obama deserves impeachment. Republicans don’t have the votes in the Senate to do it. Unless a faction of Democrats splits away, which won’t happen, it can’t be done. All impeachment would do is sweep all other issues off the table, frame the 2016 elections as a referendum on Republicans trying to remove the first black president, and in the background, empower Obama for even more sweeping unilateral actions.

Why would the impeachment process take so long?

Of course they won’t. Some idiot will be blogging about how Obama should be impeached the day before the election...

What these Republicans in congress fail to recognize is that their is no other move.................

By allowing the Executive to break the law...... and TRUMP the Legislative Branch.....

Anything they do.... CAN BE TRUMPED!

Because the President, by Executive Order, will TRUMP that too........ Connect the dots!

If the Executive Branch is allowed to illegally break the law by Executive Action, then the Excutive branch can do that with ANYTHING..........

Here is the translation for the dumb Republicans in congress that still do not get it.....

The Executive Branch will TRUMP your “purse strings” too.... Duh!!

The Executive branch knows that by congress cowarding and doing ABSOULTLY NOTHING... they have basically become ceremonial at this point.

WHAT THEY PASS FROM HERE FORTH... DOES NOT MEAN JACK to the Excursive Branch.

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

Congratulations Republicans in Congress. You have turned the U.S. Constitution on it’s head. And THAT.... is the way you will be remembered for in history

boehner threats are empty. Threaten shut down, then backsdown because media/polls blame him when OBama refused to compromise

Shutdown/partial shutdown/defunding would be much more effective than impeachment.

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.

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.
