“Members of Congress are not subject to impeachment.”

Maybe not, but they can be voted out ... SLAM BAMM THANK YOU MAMM.

Fine them in violations of their oaths of office and pull every Damm perk they ever thought they had. Then send them a bill for every penny they spent of our money>

As for Members of Congress, rather than impeachment, the Constitution provides the remedy of “expulsion” in Article I, section 5: “Each House may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a Member.” Only one chamber determines the fate of its own Members, with a 2/3 vote. Concurrence of the other body is not needed, so there is no trial.

You missed one, my favorite Jefferson quote of all time:

“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.”

In 2012, we can deal with Obama.

If the Deems get whacked in November, we won't have to deal with Obama in 2012. He won't be their candidate.

he calls in his forces to crush the rebellion and installs a dictatorship.

Who, exactly, are "his forces?" You do realize that a solid 80% of the military and law enforcement are conservatives, right?

Impeachment will never happen, but a second American Revolution and/or Civil War is likely.

All of the guilty occupants in Leavenworth for life would be better. I bet people would volunteer or even pay to be guards for a while.

I hear they're putting photovoltaic panels all over Alcatraz to supply it with power, so the generator won't be needed all the time.

How timely.

Gramnasty did his best last time around to block conviction in the Senate...

Gramnasty was one of the best on Impeaching Clinton, at that time, I thought he was great, He didn't try to block it, but was fighting for it. I watched every second of the impeachment and trial.

He was well liked at that time. Now he is a Ass*ole!

Thus ever to Tyrants. Old Dominion State with considerable experience dealing with tyrants. People have to be willing to die for their freedom.

So how can you impeach anyone if you don’t control the Senate?

You impeach in the house and have the trial in the senate.

What forces?

SEIU, ACORN??

The US Military?

Not!!

They have taken an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic. They are not sworn to protect political parties or personalities. If those in this nation’s government begin acting in a manner that is a threat to it, they can neutralize it. This goverment is getting dangerously close to where the military may have to fulfill its oath.

Well maybe not but for what they did they could be tried for treason maybe? We all know what the solution for that is and it would make a very good example for the next century or so? :D
