The EXEMPT are cowards. They took an Oath to defend
America and they have and do not.
The EXEMPT Congress is complicit in the absence of impeachment.
embarrassing loser
It’s just stupid. The Constitutional option is impeachment. Let the cards fall where they will in the Senate.
Cannot convict with the current Senate, so impeachment would be a big waste of time and political capital.
As the Lyin King continues destroying the country, even the DemonRATS are abandoning his ship.
If the pubbies take the Senate by a decent margin (very unlikely), then impeachment would be feasable.
But consider.
A successful impeachment and conviction of the 0bamao gives us the mental case Joe Biden as POTUS.
Biden is 0bamao’s impeachment insurance.
I predict that if the suit succeeds, Obama will laugh it off in an Andrew Jackson moment: the judge has made his decision; now let him enforce it. The whole premise of the suit is that Obama has overstepped his bounds and trampled on the legislative branch. What makes Ferris Boehner confident that Obama would be any more respectful of the judiciary?
No, it's worse than nothing.
There is no Article III court in the land that has jurisdiction in this matter, and, if I were a judge, I would refuse delivery of the papers.
The House of Representatives has original jurisdiction and complete authority over the matter of a President failing to take care that the laws be faithfully executed and usurping legislative authority.
The fact is that Congress, as the surrogate for the People of the United States in our system, has completely surrendered its autonomy and authority in exchange for permanent incumbency, just like latter day Roman senators or members of the Reichstag.
No gesture of weakness and subservience could be worse than Boehner's "lawsuit", if it hasn't been dismissed already.
Nixon was almost impeached for sticking up for his cronies and withholding evidence (high crimes and misdemeanors). Clinton was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice. Johnson was impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. Why can’t Obama be impeached for some of those very crimes? (Plus, at least half a dozen others.) the answer is because the Republicans won’t do it. Not even for the sake of Principle. They are nothing but oxygen thieves at this point.
it's Pablum, for the masses.
a futile action, throw out of court.
courts shall suggest, try Constitutional actions (power of
the purse), The Drunk (Beohmer), wouldn't do it.
It’s going to be like an 8 year old jumping off the high dive
at the city public pool on a dare. If he doesn’t chicken out, at most,
it will be a half assed attempt. Most likely they
will be scouring the media looking for a poll they
can use as an excuse to call it off. This is their
response to being called gutless yellow spined
cowards and they really don’t want to do it or this is
just a setup with the full intent of failure to help
legitimize their secret boss the Obama.
It could be that this is just a setup that is intended to
fail to discourage any attempt to impeach the Obama after
the elections, where they would have a good chance. I don’t
trust Boner or any of the RINO republicans. I believe they
are part of the democrat party as a false opposition to the
overthrow of this country.
Grand standing is more like it, they know they can’t impeach him not with the senate in dem hands. And even if it were GOP controlled we’d still be getting the same results as we had with Slick Willie, the VP is worse. And his VP will be Shillart, giving her the incumbent leg up in 2016.
Just do as much damage control as you can and for the sake of GOD and Country VOTE OUT THE RINOS like TN Lamar Alexander who votes 62% dem. Only his NRA A- saves his butt. He is an OATH BREAKER, not just his Oath of office, but his Oath of TWO TERMS AND OUT!
His cloture vote gave us 0’care, his vote to gut Military pension sucks. While he draws at least 1 state pension as TN governor, and who know how many others in the education field. Then you have that whopping big Fed retirement package he will get.
He is so cock sure of re-election he is not really running a campaign.
TN State Rep Joe Carr http://www.carrfortn.com/ has the conservative voting record. But is out spent from day 1.
Laura Lingram (SP?) will be supporting him.
Newt supports lamar as does rove. He and thad chocran have nearly identical voting records. RINO.
More flaccidity from feminized stuffed suits whose only solution to problems is to shuffle more papers. The time for shuffling papers is long past. We should have been in the streets by the tens of millions years ago.
It will end up being an embarrassing (& election) loser because as we all know the GOP will allow the dems to frame the issue.
I think I’ll root around for historical examples of Congress suing the president, but I got to thinking, Boehner’s plan makes about as much sense as the president suing Congress. For example, Obama might claim Congress hasn’t provided enough money to faithfully execute the laws, so he sues in court to get the appropriation he claims is necessary.
What happens if the courts rule against Congress, which is very possible given the political makeup of the Federal judges? Does then Congress just adjourn and go home for good having been decisively "beaten" on the field of battle? Or do then try and recover with impeachment? Doesn't this just give the prize of ultimate power to the Executive branch and Judicial Branch forever?
Besides, why should the Judicial Branch be handed the mantle of the most powerful to be the ultimate authority over the other two because the Legislative Branch ultimately defers to it's rulings? Then if the Executive Branch simply laughs in it's face doesn't that make a mockery of the other two and we are now in an Executive dictatorship by default? Isn't that precisely what the Founding Fathers were trying to prevent?
What is the GOAL of impeachment proponents?
We can also prefer the constitutional remedy of the term limit. But the most effective constitutional remedy will be to get the Senate out of Harry Reid’s House-bill blocking hands, and make Barry start having to make some embarrassing vetoes of bills that actually will help create jobs, and reduce regulations.
I’ll take embarrassing loser for $500 Alex.
