Could the President face impeachment, if the Supreme Court strikes the 'Slaughter Solution'?
Telegraph.co.uk ^ | March 19th, 2010 | Gerald Warner

Posted on 03/19/2010 5:44:15 PM PDT by fiodora

The nasty car crash that is Obamacare is dragging down Obama’s presidency. The cancellation of his visit to Indonesia and Australia to stay at home offering pork-barrel enticements to doubtful Democrats is the kind of desperate expedient we expect from Third World dictators apprised of a potential coup at home. [sic] the precarious nature of a presidency that has all but lost control.

In his obsession with his healthcare fantasy, Obama is prepared even to allow the subversion of the US Constitution. For what else is the so-called Slaughter Solution? Leaving aside the grim irony of this name being associated with legislation that seeks to promote an explosion of abortions in America by injecting billions of dollars into state support of that abomination – and thereby making every taxpayer complicit in abortion – the fact remains that the fundamental purpose of the Slaughter Solution is to bypass the Constitution. [sic]

It is, of course, profoundly self-defeating. When the sweating, cornered rats from Capitol Hill face the public in November, they may be able to bluster that they did not actually vote for the Senate Bill in the House. [sic]

The term “Slaughter” may come to have a deeply ironic resonance for Democrats, come November. In the meantime, “deem and pass”, the most outrageously anti-democratic scam ever seen in American political life, is almost certainly open to challenge in the Supreme Court, [sic]

The presiding spirit behind the squalid manoeuvres of Pelosi and Reid is Obama. [sic] The buck stops, etc. So, in the event that the President signed this healthcare legislation, consciously evading Clause 1, section 7 of the Founding Fathers’ protective document for American freedom, and it were then struck down by the Supreme Court, a question arises: could Obama then face impeachment? Think about it. [sic].

IMHO we are not going to get by this weekend. There will be great opportunity if they pass this thing. The IRS will be in everyone's business and there will be great anger because of this. Properly focused this anger could rid us of the IRS and possibly lead to the repeal of the income tax amendment. I personally favor a national sales tax. No prebates no rebates no favorites. Everyone pays their share and NOBODY SKATES. Short of revolution this is the only way we can destroy the strangle hold the marxist have around our necks.

If he was facing me it would be more than just a meager impeachment!

Impeachment is not a crime; it is a finding that a person is unfit to hold his or her current office. The House can impeach for any reason whatsoever. The Senate has to go along, and we’re not going to have 67 conservative Senators, I fear.

Reference to Ike's “The Buck Stops Here” sign

*sigh*. The sign was Truman's.

If Obama knowingly signs, and attempts to enforce, an illegal bill he may be guilty of gross violation of his oath of office and an attempt to collude in the subversion of the constitution.

good enough for me.

“How does he propose the President is criminally liable”

I am not sure, but doesn't the President have to sign something to make it law? Oh wait, that is in the Constitution and that old rag does not matter anymore. He is complicit by signing this abomination into law.

That Brit hack has a valid point, House members can either vote yea or nea for the bill or they can say I did not vote for the Senate HC bill, but I DID vote to circumvent the Constitution. They expect voters to accept that? We need to remind everyone, everyday if you vote for ANY Dem, you are voting for Pelosi and against the very document that this Nation was founded on.

The bastard knows he is unconstitutionally occupying the White House.

The rest is small change.

This is a Blog on the UK Telegraph hosted by Gerald Warner. G.W. is not now nor ever was a fan of the One Bare-assed O’Bummer. He has consistently lambasted this worthless POS president since well before he was elected to the office. He is the genius who coined the term ‘President Pantywaist’.

“This guy in the Telegraph has never been on Obama’s side.”

How could one forget: “Barack Obama: President Pantywaist – new surrender monkey on the block”

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/geraldwarner/9441479/Barack_Obama_President_Pantywaist__new_surrender_monkey_on_the_block/

Watch out, France and Co, there is a new surrender monkey on the block and, over the next four years, he will spectacularly sell out the interests of the West with every kind of liberal-delusionist initiative on nuclear disarmament and sitting down to negotiate with any power freak who wants to buy time to get a good ICBM fix on San Francisco, or wherever. If you thought the world was a tad unsafe with Dubya around, just wait until President Pantywaist gets into his stride.

I’m not so sure it WILL be SHORT of revolution. I think if they pull this garbage and then start using it for every item on Zero’s agenda (as some think they will), the civil unrest and mass disobedience will reach levels they have never seen in this country since the Civil War. And no, I’m not kidding. People ARE just THAT angry - and getting angrier by the day!!

Pelosi would never bring it to the floor if she did not have a way of winning. She likes the Senate bill, plans to add Government Health care later and than in ten years we will have single payer. The Dems that vote with her need to be tarred and feathered. If this passes Monday, we need to let these dirt bags know they screwed-up. We should call and tell them to stay in DC for there Easter break and all future breaks, they are no longer welcome home. Our ancestors knew how to handle ilk like our Dem politicians. The pressure needs to be kept up, they need to realize they screwed-up, if they voted no, it does not matter, they are Dems and they belong to Pelosi, she is allowing them to vote no.

Constitutional jurisprudence from a hack Brit blog?

Gerald Warner of Craigenmaddie is no hack.

That "hack blog" started publication in 1855 and has a larger print circulation than the UK Guardian and Independent combined.

“high crimes and misdemenors” is the Constitutional standard, not “for any reason whatsoever”.

1. You can’t impeach someone who isn’t in the office to begin with. We haven’t had a president since January 20, 2012, so there is no one to impeach.

2. A lying democrat could commit perjury under oath, abuse his office, and undermine the rule of law without getting convicted by members of his party. I don’t think a little bit of treason is going to upset Pelosi or Reid even a little bit.
