In July, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrote a widely-publicized op-ed for Breitbart News. “Enough is enough of the years of abuse from this president,” she wrote. “Without borders, there is no nation. Obama knows this. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.” Then, she dropped the bomb: “It’s time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment.”
Believe it or not, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had actually suggested impeachment even earlier, this time over the Bowe Bergdahl prisoner swap, in which the Obama administration freed five top-level Taliban terrorists in exchange for the alleged deserter. He stated, “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.” And Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said in March that Obama could be up for impeachment if he continued his “unconstitutional approaches” to immigration reform and Obamacare.
But it was Palin’s comments that drove ire. At the time, Palin’s critics leapt on the comments to suggest that Republicans more broadly were planning impeachment; House Speaker John Boehner immediately fired back, stating that he disagreed with Palin on impeachment.
There were some who defended Palin’s position – Mark Levin explained, “our country is being destroyed….Here’s the dead truth. Obama should be impeached, but he won’t be impeached. Obama should be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate, but he won’t be impeached if the Republicans take the Senate. Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the constitution.”

It wouldn’t stop Obama, but it would force Republicans to act.
Right.
The Marxist is going to do as he damn well wants.
It would work, but only if it were a sustained protest, that did not stop until Fedzilla caved in. Anything less, and the ruling class will continue to do what they've been doing to us for the last hundred years.
If such a protest isn't organized and carried out, the window on peaceful means will close forever.
” Right, a sustained 10 million would be the only successful avenue. “
And notice how Obama timed this for the winter weather. NOT an accident.
This subject cannot be allowed to be oppressed as taboo. It is provided for in the Constitution, and for good reason: to correct a blunder such as the election of a destructive malefactor to the presidency.
I do not advocate waving arms and screaming about "Impeach Obama now." Let the left wingers be the hysterical ones. I do not expect Obama will ever be impeached, however richly he deserves it. Politically, it won't happen. But the discussion needs to be held, as I say, in a serious and sober fashion.
Impeachment needs to be made respectable, for the sake of the Republic.
Better than that is “I appreciate that you took the time...”
