The Framers purposely avoided the temptation to draft a code of laws. High crimes mean today what it meant in 1787.
“High crimes” might be interpreted more correctly than ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’. But it’s apparently not a “high crime” to obstruct justice to the point that senators weep when reading about it [Clinton impeachment], nor is rading 800 FBI files for black mail a ‘high crime’.
Yes, DC should push forward anyway. But we need a contingency plan for removal as well.

Judicious response, but not a solution.
Today’s reality: The Constitution is already ‘codified’ by supporters of centralized government.
And this is the congress that will keep President Ebola in check?

That’s why I am calling for a three-part plan:
1. Support Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments.
2. Support impeachment and congressional purse string tightening.
3. Refuse to wait-and-hope for EITHER — call for states to excoriate and neuter DC.
And the the current ‘supreme’ Court already looks at us as ‘bitter clingers’. For example:

That’s judicial activism — there is no traditional definition of ‘gay marriage’ let alone any natural law that supports it. The federal courts have NO enumerated power to legislate new definitions and modern legal codes. But despite that, most of them actually BELIEVE they are accurately interpreting the ‘breathing document’ as they call it due to the rat-maze of progressive court precedent and modern ‘education’.
