I would still like the see the attempt made regardless of the outcome.

Both John Boehner and Mitch McConnell lied, tricked and intentionally deceived their supporters.

Here is one article from 11/14/14 that validates what I’m saying.

In the New Jersey case, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled a recall attempt against Sen. Menendez unconstitutional citing Article VI and the 1967 Idaho federal case in which the citizens of that state attempted to recall Sen. Church. But the New Jersey Supreme Court didn't wait until enough petitions had been gathered to invoke the provision in the 1947 New Jersey Constitution permitting recall. It actually issued a cease-and-desist order against the petition effort.

This is now settled law. Any attempt to recall a federal officer -- a senator or congressman -- will be stopped by court order.

It doesn't matter who lies and who tricks their constituents. Politicians do that every day. It's a part of their shtick, the political process. You might as well attempt to recall every politician in the world.

The only thing that matters is the law, and this issue is settled at both the federal and state level.
