Palin is right, although this Congress will never actually do it.
I think if Congress had any intentions of acting they would have done so long before this..they certainly had reason enough to do so.
Palin’s able to speak out because, just as she said, she wanted the freedom to do so without political “ties” preventing her as she endured when running with McCain. Most politicians won't speak out unless they have a large support to do so from the public, and even then they will be so cautious the “crisis” generally passes or there's a larger issue to contend with.
They may even go so far as to tell us what's on the table..but it never gets acted on soon enough to stop or make the difference it needs to.
But this is different...this is ‘a very real invasion of our country’. Their silence speaks volumes they are compliant with what is happening. ...and that is frightening for there's no one in Washington protecting our nation or the people. What's more frightening is every other nation is seeing this now, that we are more than weak, we are flat out down on our knees! I fear then who could take advantage of the position we are in.......and how far they will go.
I also believe this fear is a good fear...for fear brings courage to act. I'm pretty much there.
“Palin is right, although this Congress will never actually do it.”
True, we have to take the Senate first.
Until then, we need to focus on securing our borders.
I don't think that she is right in this case. Impeachment is not about justice, it is a political act and it is the Constitutional political remedy for a President who has exceeded his authority or his mandate. Once he has passed this threshold, almost any act will pass muster to bring impeachment charges and to prevail in a Senate trial. But it is foolish to proceed unless you have the political means to carry it to its end.
There is no doubt that he has broken laws and defied the Constitution and would be convicted in any fairly run court of law. But this is not about the law, it's about politics and you cannot proceed to trial unless you have the political will to deliver two thirds of the votes of the Senate. You don't set out to kill the King unless you are certain that you can get it done. If the King survives, he will be stronger. We learned that lesson with Clinton. The Democrats can stymie any attempt to impeach Obama and will use the occasion to advance their agenda.
What we need to do it to use the anger and frustration with Obama to elect more conservatives to the House and Senate and to destroy the Democrats in the 2016 election.
