There will be no pushback from RINO leadership because they view us conservatives as pawns to manipulate, control, and defeat.
With Obama’s lawless efforts to eradicate God, the traditional family unit, and the tax-paying middle-class in America, we must continue to vote for leaders who will stand fearlessly against the political infection of RINOism in the Republican Party that surrenders without a fight to the obamanation.
A few of the honorable men leading the charge against Obama is Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Jeff Sessions.
I see possible that US Marshals will be dispatched by federal courts to serve a summons for contempt.
I think Congress should be discussing preparations for appointing a Special Prosecutor.
ALL of this should MOST DEFINITELY happen... BUT WILL IT?
This exact reason is why we need Ted Cruz as President.
We need somebody who is NOT AFRAID .. I can’t tell you how important this is.
And .. the left is so afraid of him they are not including him on their polls .. but when a poll is taken from people who are more ethical, Ted is riding almost even with Walker.
Well, sorta. I'm good with that, but the Congress is acting like powerless eunuchs. And that will continue until something is done. I think a great step would be for the House (our House) to Impeach Jeh Johnson.
(so, with apologies to Mark Levin)
That's right! I said it!
IMPEACH JEH JOHNSON!
From WIkipedia: " the House of Representatives has actually initiated impeachment proceedings only 62 times since 1789. "
So it's not that uncommon. And in fact they have fully passed impeachment many times, again, Wiki:
Actual impeachments of 19 federal officers have taken place. Of these, 15 were federal judges: thirteen district court judges, one court of appeals judge (who also sat on the Commerce Court), and one Supreme Court Associate Justice. Of the other four, two were Presidents, one was a Cabinet secretary, and one was a U.S. Senator. Of the 19 impeached officials, eight were convicted. One, former judge Alcee Hastings, was elected as a member of the United States House of Representatives after being removed from office.
As a reminder here's what "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" means:
The charge of high crimes and misdemeanors covers allegations of misconduct peculiar to officials, such as perjury of oath, abuse of authority, bribery, intimidation, misuse of assets, failure to supervise, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, and refusal to obey a lawful order. Offenses by officials also include ordinary crimes, but perhaps with different standards of proof and punishment than for nonofficials, on the grounds that more is expected of officials by their oaths of office.
Certainly Jeh Johnson's willfully disobeying a Federal Court Order, ignoring the laws passed by congress, refusing to enforce the border, allowing our country to be invaded, issueing documents to illegals in contradiction of the plain meaning of the law merits imeachment if anything does!
The beauty of this is it actually isolates Obama from all of his cabinet officers. It seems like there is no desire to impeach Obama - the Clinton affair wasn't viewed as a success for the GOP, and there is little doubt that impeaching Obama would be a PR disaster for the GOP.
But the head of DHS? He's nothing, he's no one. It cannot be said we are over-reaching, we are mearly removing a particularly horrible federal official.
Impeaching a few more officials would be good too: people in the IRS involved in the Tea Party targeting scandal and subsequent coverup come to mind.
You haven’t read through the thread to understand the context.
It adds nothing to spout off nonsensical sarcasm like yours about Ted Cruz. He’s a serious person and what he’s doing is a required step in any legal context. He’s not doing it for show.
US Marshals need probable cause and the judge’s instructions to engage.
Congress appointing a special prosecutor ‘can’ happen when the above happens. They will not do it before because evidence is needed.
So it is probable cause evidence that is the trigger.
Senator Cruz met with TX Governor Abbott and AG Paxton last week during recess and then he announced to the press that the Obama Administration *is* manufacturing counterfeit documents.
Then this week he writes this letter putting Jeh Johnson on notice.
Cruz is laying the groundwork.
So do nothing then, right?
This is a good example of why we need president Cruz.
Of all the possible '16 presidential candidates, he is uniquely qualified- based on his extensive constitutional knowledge and legal expertise-to clean up the giant unconstitutional mess in D.C.
Now if Cruz would THREATEN TO PROSECUTE “Jeh” the TWO GOOD THINGS will happen:
1) He will WIN THE NOMINATION
2) He will WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
But I suspect he’ll simply “play it safe” and probably lose both.
Of course I read the thread and I watched his CPAC speech, I like they guy, but writing a letter is not something I tend to get all a titter about. Exactly two Senators voted against Mitch's amnesty funding scam and Ted was not one of them.
Who were they?
Sessions and Inhohe
