UH....isn't that treason?
And now that they are about to be voted out of office we are finally going to have hearings on how to avoid this sort of thing in the future.
We will then pass laws that can be used against future (republican) administrations as they try to undo the damage done for the past three and half years
Another hearing?
I am losing confidence that Congress is willing to defend the Constitution.
I am beginning to shift blame from the criminal to the crime enablers.
So-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o... the next step is...??
Oh, I momentarily neglected one important fact... they're republicans, which means the next step is.... more words.
None dare call it treason..............
So, what’s Lamar going to do with this bill of particulars, now that it is compiled and apparently engrossed beneath his official letterhead, and to what end?
How many divisions does Congress have?
The time for “jaw, jaw” is long past, and the time for “war, war” is at hand. Politically speaking, of course.
Sorry, Winston.
Whine a little louder - that will make Obama toe the line.
Nixon and Clinton were impeached for a very small fraction of what Obama has done and continues to do. But no one in Congress or the Senate has the guts to even call Obama an outright liar or traitor to his oath of office, let alone say the word “IMPEACH”.
That depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is...
Here is the Judiciary Committee. The GOP has to be sure they have the votes to make the contempt charge stick, or they lay a huge egg. My guess is they have just obtained them which is why Congressman Smith just issued this incredible official statement on behalf of the Judiciary Committee.
Here's my other support - Cummings to Issa: Halt contempt proceedings against Holder
I understand the frustration and skepticism with the GOP, but this is huge (not hugh). Big time!

It is easy to observe that normally elections are not won or lost on issues of this type, therefore, the passivity of the Republicans is not at all surprising. This is not what grabs Joe sixpack and sends him to the polling stations. Yet, if the tables were turned and the Democrats, educated as they are in Alinsky School for Radicals, would find a way to exploit these real outrages committed by Holder and Obama. Alinsky has taught them that they should personalize the issue. Find some person who has been individually damaged by these policies and make him or her into a martyr. Next, find an individual on the other side and demonize him or her.
I see no disposition among Republicans to exploit these issues in this manner. Please do not offer lectures about the seriousness of the issues and our responsibility to take the high road. There is no high road unless it leads without detour to victory at the polls because there is no justice otherwise. This administration has demonstrated by the particulars for which it is being indicted that it is not constrained to operate within the rule of law. Nothing could be more serious for the health of the Democratic Republic but, alas, very few things could be less of motivating election issue.
There are other ways besides personalizing and dramatizing the actual human cost of these policies. It is conceivable that there are law professors at Harvard or elsewhere who might, who just might be inclined to act the Alan Dershowitz against the Justice Department even as Dershowitz has indicted George Zimmerman's special prosecutor. If a luminary of the established legal elite could be induced to speak truth to power it might begin to undermine the legitimacy of the Obama administration in academia. The surprising example of Alan Dershowitz speaking out on behalf of justice in a racially charged case is perhaps very instructive here. The Obama administration and the Holder Justice Department have been shielded from criticism within the legal community, the media, academia, and, yes, even Republicans themselves because of their skin color. Dershowitz has run counter to type. Might it be the beginning of a trend?
I understand that the capacity of our academic elites to commit political correctness and rationalize almost any grotesquerie by this administration approaches the infinite but there is always a chance....
I am of the belief that middle America in this election is about to take control of the nation away from the elites. As that becomes more evident even to the faculty at Harvard, the defections against Obama, not just among Democrats like Gov. Rendell, Mayor Booker or former President Clinton, but among liberals in academia and elsewhere should begin and swell. If we can appeal to the intellectual vanity of this group, we might just make headway.
There is much that could be done but I agree with the sentiment of this board that very little likely will be done.
In Romney and Behner we hardly have charismatic men of courage to ride against the hosts as our paladins. 0h for Newt Gingrich! So we must do it ourselves. I hope the Tea Party takes up the cause.
This would expose the dirty laundry of the Obama admin at the worst time in such a way that the press could not ignore it.
Also, impeachment proceedings can span two congresses without the need to re-adopt impeachment rules or procedures. They could hold hearings all fall and then vote for impeachment on the last day of the lame-duck congress so that the Senate trial could be held in a Republican controlled Senate. Even after an accused has left office, it is possible to impeach to disqualify the person from future office or from certain emoluments of his prior office (such as a pension).

IMHO, this whole deal is about racism. If anybody or group of people should start impeachment proceedings against obummer and Holder, it would immediately be called “racism” by our main street media, and could possible lead to some very bad riots and such, where people might die.
Am I making sense?

Greta tried to pin Issa down last night, he danced the two-step to perfection. I will give him credit, he did say he was in favor of contempt, and tried to lay the stall at the feet of Boehner, right or wrong, I can't say.
Greta was upset 18 months of talk, no action, just do it.
But, in addition, impeachment would be an unnecessary and futile (because the Senate wouldn't convict) step if he is a one-termer and would waste valuable political capital. If he should scrape thru into a second term, however,......
