Does President Obama deserve to be sued or impeached? Yes!
My favorite part of the article.
My emotions do not agree with Dr. Sowell on this, so he must be right.
And once again the right wing talking heads line up to take the one position ensuring Obama remains protected. Just like magic.
It’s amazing to me how so many modern people are so much wiser than the people that wrote the Constitution. Maybe there was a part about covering the ass of a political party/escape clause and I missed it. They should just come out and say that they are good with him in power and save all the drama.
Sowell rightly speaks to the importance of the Senate in confirming federal judges. The GOP taking the Senate in 2014 would allow it to block some of the radical appointments Obama is making to the federal bench and should turn another far left Supreme Court nomination into a fight.
However, the GOP leadership has already signaled that a GOP majority would return to the old Senate rules effectively giving Harry Reid power to be an obstructionist and use his bullying tactics to further Obama’s agenda.
What good is a Senate win in 2014 if the Republicans give the Democrats effective veto power through the old filibuster rules?
Thomas Sowell is right again.
Hussein is more than happy for the republicans to take the stage and make buffoons of themselves as the so often do.
republicans need to step back and let Obama take the stage front and center so that his incompetence and corruption are fully exposed.
Since the old media are complicit in the cover-up, articles of impeachment rather than a nonexistent news chronicle will serve as the permanent historical record of His presidency.
And, if we should not recover our freedoms, if we should continue our head first dive into despotism, history will record that the people of the United States made one last effort to save their republic.
And Tommie what is your plan ?
“The political fate of the Republican Party is not something that those of us who are not Republicans need to worry about. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot again, so be it.
“But all Americans have to worry — and worry big time — about the fate of this country if Republicans blow their chances of taking control of the Senate.”
So Thomas Sowell is not a Republican but wants Republicans to take control of the senate?
I generally like Thomas Sowell, but this column doesn’t compute. If the Republicans don’t sue & don’t impeach, they’re left with standing & whining about what Obama is doing. None of the options are good, but I don’t see a better course of action.
Only 47.7% of adults in the U.S. are working full time.
In 2007 = 121 Million employed. Now 118 Million.
Since 2007 the U.S. population has grown by 17.2 million.

I personally don’t think suing him or impeaching him (he’d never be impeached anyway) would do anything except provide distracton the media can focus on to save their clay hero. We shouldn’t get in the way of a party that has been pissing off it’s purported constituents in big numbers.
Sad fact of the matter is he belongs in prison or exiled but reality is what it is.
While Sowell is a brilliant conservative voice, I think his argument is slightly flawed for one reason: There is no political solution to the failed condition of our nation. Sowell always advocates a civil solution. Many of our founders were the same way and did not want to break away from British rule. It took time to change their minds.
There will be no friendly compromise with the die-hard leftists who have taken over every institution of our country. They will not listen to reason, logic or morality. They are hell-bent on getting their way when it comes to expanding their political religion with its sacraments of sexual perversion, abortion, and unlimited power (aka tyranny, with gun control being its linchpin).
War is coming. It is unavoidable. I do not know who will fire the first shot, but it will happen, and the outcome will be earth-shattering.
But we might as well play along with the charade while we prepare. Just don’t count on any real solution to come out of political activism any longer. It will be a band-aid at best.
Prepare for war and rebuilding whatever Phoenix rises from the ashes of our once great nation. After that, let there be no place on God’s green earth for the perpetrators of our nation’s destruction to flee justice.
What then is the possible (to stretch a point, knowing it won’t happen) solution?
The Constitution must be amended to make impeachment possible. But of course many states are under Democratic political control, so even that is impossible.
I would favor a regime in which impeachment would be convicted not by senators but by governors, who by voting not to convict would be indicating that the conduct of which the POTUS is guilty is conduct they themselves, as executives on a smaller scale, might do. A Democratic governor might think twice about associating himself with executive lawlessness . . .
Such an amendment might also require a majority of both houses of Congress to go forward to the governors for an up-or-down vote (but, obviously, not be subject to presidential veto).
What is the strategy if Pubs do NOT win the Senate? Wait quietly until 2016?
Is it possible that do nothing Pubs, having won the Senate & House, continue to do NOTHING?
I believe there is something the House can do prior to November:
Refuse to fund one or more unpopular departments in the government, say the IRS or Justice, until the missing emails are produced. Both are co-conspirators in these crimes. Neither are obeying the law.
Obama has manufactured numerous crises during his time in office. It's time for the House to rein in the purse, even if it does create a crisis in the ranks of the bureaucrats.
Oh, thank God...here comes the GOPe and their band of republicans to save US.
Dr. Sowell is right, of course, but these days it's hard to tell the difference between the problem and the available solution he advocates.
And that fact makes his solution potentially worse than our problem while explaining much of why we are in this position now.
"Traitors damage us in ways enemies cannot."
He already has done that. He passed the Dream Act all by himself with an EO. So, Mr. Sowell's advice is to sue and/or impeach after he does that, yet he says doing so now is wrong.
Huh?
