Bless you, Levin for saying it, but that doesn’t mean that there is one single testicle that the congress-critters share among themselves.

Sounds like a showdown to me ... about time.

I always smile listening to Levin. He’s like Allen West. Doesn’t shy away from telling it like it is. Especially enjoyed the “How would you like that, Colin Powell?”
It’s just too bad we don’t have the votes for impeachment.

I wish with all my heart that any number of Republicans wlak out or don’t show up for wither the coronation or the SOTU. And if asked why...they should say they are busy, drafting Articles of Impeachment.

Sleep tight.

They have to do it. If 0bama bypasses congress, the markets will punish the dollar because the treasuries issued henceforth will be of dubious value. No one wants to buy a bond that is at risk of being declared illegally issued by the courts. Automatic downgrade with this next fight.

Congress will have “no choice” but impeachment.

Fat chance. The House is made up of a bunch of wimps and they are just as bad as King Obama. I have no faith in our Federal Government and America will become a dictatorship.

????

No choice?? Has he talked to Reid about that?

No worries,
O will get the House to extend the debt limit. He already said he wont do it by himself, he would rather humiliate them by making them do it.
Bohner probably has already decided to abandon the debt limit approach.

Levin doesn’t know this?

Obama could slit John Boehner’s throat at a live press conference and the media would marvel at his technique.

He can do anything. ANYTHING. And no one will try to stop him.

And I think he realizes it.

Levin is right of course.

But is not the second amendment just as much a "core power" of the people?

The second amendment is a close to an absolute unrestricted right as could be put in writing.

There is no wiggle room here. Obama took a very clear oath when he was sworn in. If he attempts to issue an executive order which infringes on ANY element of the right of the people to bear arms he MUST BE IMPEACHED.

If Obama can legally issue executive orders mandating any form of gun control then could he not issue an executive order banning conservative talk radio? How about just issue an executive order which abolishes the NRA. Then issue an executive order which bans Fox News, after all they are clearly not protected by freedom of speech or freedom of the press.

Gun control executive order = MANDATORY IMPEACHMENT

If the Congress does nothing, then the effect is similar to a parliamentary “no confidence vote” (not only against the Executive branch, but the Legislative as well). Congress, despite recent history of punting the ball, has always had the power of the purse. Obama gets his equivalent of the “Enabling Act”, and you students of history can take whatever you can from it.

“No Congress would tolerate this from any president,” Levin continued. “I don’t care if the president was Abraham Lincoln. This Congress would not have tolerated it from Richard Nixon. No Congress can tolerate such a complete and brazen frontal assault on its enumerated power. No Congress.

Yeah, but this one will . . .

‘No choice’ Eh? Really? What abotu when he sidesteps the constitution and foists an extremist liberal, unconstitutional healthcare system on Americans agaisnt their will? Will he ‘have to be impeached’ for that too? What abotu when he attacks the Christian faith, and bans them from freely excersizing hteir right to public display?

Sorry Marc- I liek you- you’re a strogn speaker, but words mean nothign when it coems to democrats who do whatever the hell they want with NO reprecussions from the right whatsoever- Who’s goign to impeach him?

And after NOTHING happens to challenge or impeach Obama we can then hear Mr. Levin say, "I can't believe they're letting him get away with this. What is wrong with America?" (then into the next commercial break)

"If things don't change they'll stay the same."

Before impeachment, charge and try him under Title 31 of the United States Code (31 U.S.C. §§ 1341, 1342, 1349, and 1350).

§1341 states:

1) An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of Columbia government may not- (A) make or authorize an expenditure or obligation exceeding an amount available in an appropriation or fund for the expenditure or obligation;

§1349 states:

"An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of Columbia government violating section 1341(a) or 1342 of this title shall be subject to appropriate administrative discipline including, when circumstances warrant, suspension from duty without pay or removal from office."

§1350 states:

"An officer or employee of the United States Government or of the District of Columbia government knowingly and willfully violating section 1341(a) or 1342 of this title shall be fined not more than $5,000, imprisoned for not more than 2 years, or both."

Once you have a conviction, then you have a proven felony, a "high crime." Impeachment on interpretive grounds alone is just blowing smoke.

The President can only do what the House of Reps finances him to do...
Whatever Obama has done the House underwrote and financed..

Did I say the Republican controlled House?..
Much delusion is going on.. and most of it are republicans..
Obama can spend nothing he is NOT given to spend..
You know............ by the House of Representatives..

If you are a republican you should be ashamed of yourself..
YOU ELECTED THEM..


Note: the saving grace is many republicans are no longer republicans.. Nov. 6th got many peoples attention.. The GOP is on life support.. may very well die except for a few RINOs.. and other enablers.. The delusion is great..

I understand Levin is livid, but talk of impeachment is a waste of time; There are not enough votes in Congress to impeach, nor are there enough votes in the Senate to convict.

We might as well waste time on the possibility of pigs with wings.

As of today, there is only ONE way to stop Obama: DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING. Any other option will fail, so wasting time talking about them is to avoid talking about the real solution.

because we will cease to be a federal government of three coequal branches

Very true! At this point the coup will be complete - it is obvious he already owns the Supreme Court.

As with BJ Clinton, the House can impeach. The Senate will, of course, not convict but just hamstringing President Omega is of considerable value.
