Mr. Obama is imposing a leftist revolution. Since coming to office, he has behaved without any constitutional restraints. The power of the federal government has exploded. He has de facto nationalized key sectors of American life - the big banks, financial institutions, the automakers, large tracts of energy-rich land from Montana to New Mexico. His cap-and-trade proposal, along with a newly empowered Environmental Protection Agency, seeks to impose massive new taxes and regulations upon industry. It is a form of green socialism: Much of the economy would fall under a command-and-control bureaucratic corporatist state. Mr. Obama even wants the government to take over student loans.

The Slaughter Solution is a poisoned chalice. By drinking from it, the Democrats would not only commit political suicide. They would guarantee that any bill signed by Mr. Obama is illegitimate, illegal and blatantly unconstitutional. It would be worse than a strategic blunder; it would be a crime - a moral crime against the American people and a direct abrogation of the Constitution and our very democracy.
It would open Mr. Obama, as well as key congressional leaders such as Mrs. Pelosi, to impeachment. The Slaughter Solution would replace the rule of law with arbitrary one-party rule. It violates the entire basis of our constitutional government - meeting the threshold of "high crimes and misdemeanors." If it's enacted, Republicans should campaign for the November elections not only on repealing Obamacare, but on removing Mr. Obama and his gang of leftist thugs from office.
It is time Americans drew a line in the sand. Mr. Obama crosses it at his peril.

“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>
WTH???
LOL!!
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.”
If the Deems get whacked in November, we won't have to deal with Obama in 2012. He won't be their candidate.
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.
Why? Is the Washington Times liberal?
It would be more fun to toss her off the bridge :)
That Body of Thread is of Biblical proportion!
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.
I’m just trying to imagine what America would be like under President Joe Biden.
His Obama youth corp and related malcontents.
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.
You impeach in the house and have the trial in the senate.
IMPEACH Barack Obama! Collapse the socialist economy.
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.
Send him to Gitmo with the rest of the terrorists and let him rot while we watch it on a direct feed telecast 24/7.
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
