Romney wins by 10 points and Pubs take both houses. My wish, anyway. Obama and Holder go to prison. (fingers crossed)
Your lips to God’s ears.Obama and Holder go to prison. (fingers crossed)
Holder, yes. But you actually can’t take vengeance on a POTUS, because you don’t ever want to see a sitting POTUS fear to abdicate when his term expires. And attempt a coup instead.If you can’t impeach, you can’t imprison. I think we should consider a constitutional amendment making governors, rather than senators, the jury in any presidential impeachment. That is more a jury of peers than the legislators in the Senate is.Actually, I would be more comfortable with the governors functioning in a quasi-judicial sense. In that their function should be to judge whether the offenses alleged, if proven, constitute unacceptable behavior in a chief executive. And maybe the Senate would then still have to convict, but only by a simple majority.
Far better, of course, to never even nominate, much less elect, an Alynskiite. My suggestion to forward that hope is to weaken the propaganda power of journalism. My proposal would be to require the FCC licensees to broadcast at least one presidential debate a week, starting in August. And that the candidates be permitted, even encouraged, to make Power Point presentations (i.e., be allowed not only to take notes but to use laptop computers). And that the candidates would split the time equally, enforced by a chess timer switching the microphone from the candidate who stops speaking to conserve his time for later. I would have the candidates post their statistics on a web site so that they can be vetted fully.
Faced with having to run that gauntlet, I would hope that the Democratic party would despair of being able to elect demagogues, and would resort to nominating actual patriots.
