Please, SELECT HERE to watch Sen. Guillorys powerful, short video in which he details of why he left the government plantation and is free at last and why he needs YOUR HELP sharing the Frederick Douglass Liberty Message with America.

Remember: You need 67 senators to vote to convict.....a pretty tall order for 2014.
I’d be nicely surprised if we got up to 51 or 52.
Would it be easier to change the Constitution back to it’s original intent and have the House members elect the Senate?
Worth a try

As I’ve ranted in related threads, if conservatives were to get off of their couches and seize supermajority control of Congress in the 2014 elections, and I don’t know if that is possible in 2014 election cycle, then Congress could do the following concerning Obamacare. Congress would have the constitutional authority, under Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to repeal Obamacare without Obama’s signature.

That would be most of those who need to be impeached, except a number of SCOTUS justices... and, of course, the White House traitor and his Administration thugs.
Please elaborate.
Where did that come from? As evidenced by the Constitution's Clause 1 of Section 3 of Article I, state lawmakers elected the federal Senate.
Our Boner led CONgress? No thanks.
Probably will gain about three seats at best in the Senate, but gotta start somewhere. The House will probably stay in GOP hands.
Exactly. So long as the Boehner-Cantor Getalong Gang continues to rule the HOR, nothing substantive will ever get done.
Please- and I say this with all respect & understanding for cynicism-
Please. Back these people up.
We are in a mountain of danger, especially right now *today*.
God Bless them!
Agree with your numbers.
Some FReepers have this magical view that the country is majority conservative and the election of Obama was a fluke/fraud/etc.
The reality is that the demographic tides are swamping us. Every year 2.5 million (mostly white, majority R voting) people die and are replaced by (heavily minority, heavily D voting) people. Add in the ever-increasing numbers on entitlements and the numbers look grim to me.
The state legislatures elected the senators to address state matters ... not the house IMHO
Good luck with that.
Would those 67 members have to include some blue state senators?
Section 3.
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the legislature thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote.
There's no point in talking impeachment if this is the strategy. And since the discussion seems to be limited to political solutions, there's no point in talking about this problem at all.
That would be a giant waste of time. An impeachment would take a good 18 months to wind throw the process, so even if it succeeded (which it won’t, no way 66 senators will vote to convict) he’ll be 6 months from leaving office anyway. And all that attacking of him will make him sympathetic, giving him more public support, and with him Biden, thus moving Biden’s chance of being elected from “none” of “possible”. Impeachment does not play well with the audience, and the audience decides the next election. Impeachment did wonders for Clinton, made him the first president in 100 years to gain seats in his second mid-term.
Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, (aka Barry Soetoro), continues his unopposed efforts to expand Totalitarian Obamanation in Liberty-based America.
Where are the Republican opponents of Tyrant Obama?
Why have the Articles of Impeachment for Tyrant Obama not been issued by US House Speaker Boehner, or Pro-Welfare Republicans Cantor or Ryan?
Have House and Senate Pro-Welfare Republicans formed a cave-in pact with Pro-Welfare Democrats to protect Tyrant Obama?
The main thing that Speaker Boehner is afraid of is being blamed for doing his job.
Speaker Boehners job now is to shut down the NON-ESSENTIAL parts of the US Federal Government until Obamacare is ABOLISHED, and keep it shut down for however long it takes.
Obama will continue to ruin America as long as Boehner is Speaker of the US House of Represenatives.
Four + years of Boehner has proven Boehner to be unfit to combat Tyrant Obama.
It is now up to the Members of the House to replace Boehner so that the new Speaker can shut down the non-essential parts of the US Federal Government ASAP in order to ABOLISH Obamacare.
