... the senate will not vote to convict...is this a wise course of action?

One best articulates the message that Obama deserves to be convicted by attempting to convict.

And you put all Red State Senators on record. Are they for convicting a president who is utterly destroying our country or are they again it?

I’m thinking that if the law suits submitted by Boenner are won in the courts, AND other Senators from respecting states also file the suits that they are threatening to file (such as Texas and Arizona), and if those suits are won in the courts, then the Senate is going to be hard pressed NOT to convict (impeach and put him out of office).

Because if those suits are agreed by the courts as constituting a breaking of law, the very fibre of our governmental structure, then Senators are going to have a lot less to argue about regarding whether or not Obama and his administration broke the law, or not.

Those court decisions then become the precedent and evidence for an impeachment.

The question is, how long is it going to take the courts to hear the cases and then decide on a verdict? If they were to use the verdicts (assuming a guilty verdict) for impeachment, it would be wasteful if the process took a couple of years.

On the other hand, I wonder if they are trying to avoid a tit for tat scenario in case they loose the republican majority, so that a republican president isn’t harassed by a democrat congress.

I AM glad to see that at least some action is being taken because if a sitting president is going to rule from the bench, of what use is congress? Congress really does need to wake up and take action.
