IMPEACHMENT GOES MAINSTREAM
Breitbart ^ | November 14, 2014 | By Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/14/2014 12:50:54 PM PST by Jim Robinson

In July, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote a widely-publicized op-ed for Breitbart News. “Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president,” she wrote. “Without borders, there is no nation. Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.” Then, she dropped the bomb: “It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”

Believe it or not, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had actually suggested impeachment even earlier, this time over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap, in which the Obama administration freed five top-level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the alleged deserter. He stated, “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.” And Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said in March that Obama could be up for impeachment if he continued his “unconstitutional approaches” to immigration reform and Obamacare.

But it was Palin’s comments that drove ire. At the time, Palin’s critics leapt on the comments to suggest that Republicans more broadly were planning impeachment; House Speaker John Boehner immediately fired back, stating that he disagreed with Palin on impeachment.

There were some who defended Palin’s position – Mark Levin explained, “our country is being destroyed….Here’s the dead truth. Obama should be impeached, but he won’t be impeached. Obama should be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate, but he won’t be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate. Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitution.”

Trey Gowdy was asked yesterday if he would consider impeaching the President. His reply:

“Have you met Joe Biden?”


After seeing his comments in print, I believe Gowdy was deflecting away from the idea that he would be leading the charge. Gowdy's got the Hillary row to hoe on Benghazi and is determined not to be distracted by any possible talk of impeachment of O.

But, should such impeachment talk bring forth fruit, I feel sure Gowdy could have his arm twisted to come along too.

Lawyers are nearly human beings. A Southern lawyer is something else altogether different and one has to listen most carefully. Trey is a Southern lawyer who (IMO) is not showboating to the same extent that Sam Ervin was.

Basically, I agree with that sentiment. It is a different time period now, was my point. We are post-2014 tsunami. We can talk about things that we had no need to talk about before.

Law suits are going to take too long. Stopping the spending bill threatens to hurt people where they live, and they don’t understand the principles behind it. Impeachment everyone understands.

I don’t get why the low-employment sectors of the population are not worried about amnesty: blacks, women, the young. They are the ones who will suffer the most with a wave of newly “documented” workers. What about the big corporations who hire low-income workers? Aren’t they going to deluged with lawsuits when the don’t hire a Mexican? There are pro “bono” lawyers waiting in the wings to fight for these people’s new “rights.” Wake up, America.

Upset me? No. Surprise me? Perhaps. But upset? No.

You see, when you go accusing people of stuff simply because they disagree with you on tactics, you prove yourself unworthy of the intellectual battle.

Was Thurston a reference to Thurston Howell III on Gilligan’s Island?

Amen! Oppose any politician that won’t support impeachment. I am sick of blogging about it. They should start the hearings now and let the chips fall where they may.

Yup. That and T. Coddington Vorhees from the Iowahawk story. Same clueless arrogance and blind party support based on fantasy so I figure it fits his ‘Parting his name on the keft’ thing. (Credit to Black elk for that one though ;)

If it works out King O’bastard pushes amnesty down our throats and the congress doesn’t impeach and/or remove this $h1tstain from the oral office, then our military must consider the unthinkable in the USA, a coup d’etat. I would rather have the Pentagon run the USA for awhile - if I have to live in a dictatorship let it be them. Crime would plummet, the borders secure and a lot of non sense abolished.

I'll be the first to cast "the first vote" against my Newly reelected
Sen. "*itch" McConnell (Wdc-GOP/e) from KY.; b/c he's already reneged
on his "conservative positions", he pledged while campaigning.

Trey Gowdy was asked about impeachment on FOX News (Greta)
and his answer was Biden would some how be worse. I think he was being crafty in his answer.
******
The look on O’Reilly’s face was priceless when he asked Trey about the reference to Biden.

Odd how we can even contemplate having the DOD take over.

That’s how out of control Obola is.

This was unthinkable in the America I grew up in.

Obola has to be reigned in, of that there is no doubt.

He is deliberately setting a course to harm this nation.

He won’t be impeached, the Obamabot mobs would burn down the cities.

I can't say as I see any downsides to this...
