"This president is looking to usurp congressional oversight to find a way to get it done without us. My position is that is an impeachable act from my perspective. There are a lot of things people say, 'Are you going to impeach the president over that?' — No. But this? This is catastrophic. This jeopardizes the credibility of our nation if one man can usurp the entire system set up by our founding fathers over something this significant," Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) said.

And who is going to impeach him? Your mama? The GOP is comfortable under their rock.
Yep. 27 republican senators voted to abdicate their authority on presidential appointments yesterday.
—GOP Congressman: “Impeachable Offense”—
By the GOP, hah, hah, hah.
Finally; someone uses the word in public.
In order to avoid such a catastophe, the GOP will go along and rubberstamp anything Obama demands. That way, the system will “work” and we won’t have a crisis.
So, stop grandstanding about “impeachable offenses;” you don't mean it, and we know it!
Thank God somebody has spoken out on this important issue. Obama is shredding the Constitution daily and the GOP has sat silently as it goes on.
Uh uh uh ... Juan McWhacked, Grahamnesty, McDonnell, Boehner, et al, are not going to be pleased by this un-collegiate speech. You might just lose your pass to the House gym if youse don’t shut your pie hole.
That there might be construed as rascist talk by a member of the GOP.
About. Darn. Time.
If he’s not just blowing smoke, that is.
You spineless b@astards, you showed your true colors when you couldn't convict Clinton for his “high crimes and misdemeanors”...The GOP Congress actually did impeach William Jefferson Clinton. And any of the GOP Congressmen who were in even remotely competitive districts lost in subsequent elections in large measure because of it (attracted lots of money for challengers in their districts). It was a number of GOP Senators (quite a few) that lacked the courage to actually convict the President in order to remove him from office. A few were outspoken but unable to muster the commitment to pursue it by enough of their fellow GOP Senators.
I guess I am asking that we refrain from merely passing judgement with such a broad brush. Target your anger and expend your energy surgically to remove from office the milquetoast individual Congressmen and Senators who lack the courage to do what is right. We made quite a bit of progress in the makeup of the GOP in this last election, and we can do it again. The current makeup of the GOP is decidedly more conservative than ever before. This is a 20-30 year fight to be waged over and over again at all times and especially every 2 years. The sooner we set our expectations to match this cold reality the sooner we will actually make huge leaps of progress and perhaps get to a tipping point much faster. I truly believe this next election will be much worse for the Dems than the last one was in 2010, and that was a historical drubbing. Things in the economy are not better, they are worse than before. And this time the O himself is on the ballot. He and his party are about to get a beat-down of epic proportions. They will be studying the implosion of him and his party in history books all over the world for 100 years. In the GOP primaries, replace moderate or liberal GOP Congressmen and Senators with conservative candidates you can get behind in the general.
To Rolf: You have spoken the truth this morning.. you are a person that knows the ways of the rat. Republicans are collaborators. There is only one thing worse than the enemy.. it’s those that sleep with the enemy. Excellent post, thank you.
It would sort of be like when they got Capone on an income tax charge after all the other terrible crimes they couldn't get him on.
Yep, has boner come back from playing golf yet.????
“Yep. 27 republican senators voted to abdicate their authority on presidential appointments yesterday.”
Now thats an impeachable offense in my book. I wonder if the voters are starting recall procedures yet?
Although I want to believe there some good people in congress; after the past two decades of decidedly vapid, uninspired, and downright cowardly performance by our legislative branch, I conclude that if there are such, they are gagged and imprisoned by the majority of the denizens there.
The majority of both parties, internationalists all, share same rock. The constitution is not under that rock.
Well, obviously, this guy is a raci,...uhm...nevermind!
