Impeached?...no Tarred and feathered?...Yes
Joe Biden.
No. Neuter him in 2014.
Gore won the popular vote by about 500,000 votes. After the Supreme Court decision giving it to GWB, the left treated GWB as illegitimate and turned Iraq into a total loss of blood and treasure.
My point was that I’ve yet to see any reason to believe a Senate elected by the States would be more likely to convict and remove from office an impeached President that a Senate elected by the people of that State.
Your point about the weakening of federalism is well-taken, but it has little to do with impeachment
SCOTUS did not "give" the election to GW. All they did was enforce the existing Constitution and laws.
If anybody wants a President elected by popular vote, there's a perfectly constitutional way to get. We just need an amendment.
Because it is virtually impossible to impeach a POTUS, scoundrels like Krintong and Obammy know they can get away with murder. Even Argentinian generals weren’t so lucky.
You can bet your last dollar that the low info voters didn't hear that.
The goodness of the men elected or appointed is far less important than their interest, or rather, to whom or what they are responsible.
Today's Senate is just another House of Reps, only more dangerous. The rhetoric and voting pattern of the typical rat Senator is indistinguishable from his siblings in the House. Both houses are perfect breeding grounds for demagogues beholden to the whims of the mob. That is okay in the House, and the Framers expected it. It is called consent of the people.
Our liberties were generally secure as long as a wild House of Reps was countered by a deliberative body that represented the interests of the States.
If not all State Assemblymen are very honest, that's okay from a national standpoint, for they would still be protective of their interests.
Simply put, the 17th Amendment effectively repealed the 10th. It removed the structure necessary to protect it. James Madison was cool toward Bills of Rights not because they were dangerous in themselves, but because he feared we would rely on "parchment barriers" to despotism rather than the structure of our government.
One more example: What right is most closely guarded? Notwithstanding Obama's recent assaults, freedom of the press is unrestricted. It is so not because the 1st Amendment says so. It is because of the self interest of the press that defends it.
Patrick Henry predicted rapid consolidation of all power into the new government. James Madison responded that could not happen as long as we had a Senate of the States.
The Framers got it right.
==========================================================
EXHIBIT ONE---A "PATTERN" OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR under RICO laws is considered "racketeering" and is eminently prosecutable. Note: Anyone can file a RICO suit (how-to's online)
PAPER TRAIL PATTERN OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR At ATF, at Justice, at DOE, at FBI, at Boston and Benghazi, at the Federal Reserve Bank, at Solyndra, the answer’s always the same: “Oops. We made a mistake.” And they don’t just make one mistake; they make a series of mistakes, they obfuscate, then lie, then lie about the lie.......
=============================================
EXHIBIT TWO Although the IRS targeted and harrassed conservative groups, it appears that Obama ordered "hands-off." No one at IRS has been formally reprimanded and a spokesperson for their powerful federal union said it hasn’t been called in, as yet. Most IRS employees involved in the targeting program are given federal protections that could drag out the termination process.
FReeper showme_the_Glory reminds us of the practice of "pencil whipping."
DEFINITION To complete a form, record, or document without having performed the implied work or without supporting data or evidence. Pencil whipping an official document incurs jailtime. As well, faslsifying official documents incurs 4-5 felonies and could involve criminal forgery.
=================================================
EXHIBIT THREE----FREEPER DIOGENESIS WISELY SUGGESTS local grand juries should begin indicting Congresspeople and Senators for FAILING TO UPHOLD THE LAW AGAINST FELONIES.A few felony convictions and imprisonment oughta wake up the treasonous Congress (that supports al Qaeda and Communism).
KEEP IN MIND---those elected to office are supposed to adhere to a higher standard of law than we peons....but have never been held to account.....til now.
=======================================
EXHIBIT FOUR Dump impeachment----in favor of our taking over Congress. When conservatives are running things---we screw up his agenda---and wont need to waste our time and resources impeaching this guy.
AS FREEPER GRAMPADAVE INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: Take over both the house and $inate and keep Obozo in office as a living reason for sane Americans to get rid of Rats in Congress and across the country. Tell the rats we want to keep Herr Obozo in office while we remove his fellow rats. If they/the rats want him out of office because he is killing their party, they can do it.
Bravo! On the money!
