You and the author of this Washington Post article are advocating for the same thing: Impeachment. That seems odd, doesn’t it?

Okay. So you can't really respond to my points so you bring up a new point.

Anyway...they are goading Boehner to clear the way for the president to do whatever he wants with impeachment being taken off the table.

And that's exactly what Boehner (and you) have done. Odd isn't it.

Does 'No Impeachment' Fulfill Saul Alinsky's Rule #4?

"Think about it -– the impeachment chatter on the left may very well ensure that the very thing Obama is accusing the right of wanting to do -– and goading them into vowing not to do it -– will clear the way for the president to do whatever he darn well pleases without obstruction."

I think there’s probably a strategy, believe it or not.

The House can impeach Obama to its heart’s content and he’ll remain in office. Only if the GOP gets the Senate can he actually be removed from office. Remember Bill Clinton, who actually was impeached...with no effect.

So I’d say the lawsuit is a gambit. It has real potential, but probably won’t make it through the system until Obama is leaving office. However, in the meantime, it’s keeping Obama off-guard, and that’s why he’s talking about impeachment all the time.

Impeachment is an Obama fundraising tool, and only fools would fall for it. But if we get more seats in the Senate (which seems less and less likely to me, alas), then it could be a reality, and Cruz and Boehner know it.
