Shhhh... The White House loves the GOP lawsuit

[Derideo_Te]

Impeachment proceedings against president Obama would be the icing on the cake for Democrats. Go for it tea-baggers!









The ?Inside Politics? Forecast: The White House loves the GOP lawsuit ? CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

Say what? In a nutshell, House Republicans see it as a way to go home to their red districts and promise they are standing up to the president, while the White House and fellow Democrats see a huge opening to question GOP priorities and gin up Democratic fund-raising in the process.

“They are going to be hammering this point: that there is one week left in this congressional session and this is what Republicans are focused on,” said Pace. “Also look for Democrats and the White House to start talking about the possibility of impeachment. If they think the lawsuit is good politics for them, they think the impeachment narrative is even better.”

It isn't an impeachment proceeding. It's a law suit alleging President Obama has overstepped his authority with many of his Executive Orders. If you're going to start strings...try not to start them with falsehoods...

In order to file suit the House needs to have standing to prove that it was "harmed" in some way by the EO.

They can't even meet that basic hurdle.

Don't make me laugh...the talk of "impeachment" is coming from the Democrats...not the Republicans. It's obvious that you can't impeach a President if you can't even get House bills onto the floor of the Senate. This is nothing more than a campaign fund raising issue for the Left. Send us money or Barry's going to get impeached by the big bad GOP!!! It's a non issue being made into an issue because that's all the Democrats really have to run on. God knows they don't want to make this about the economy or foreign policy!

The Senate cannot refuse to try articles of impeachment passed by the House so you are merely exposing your ignorance. It is Boehner who is obstructing the TP impeachment bill from coming to the floor of the House.

This whole impeachment thing was a scam created by Dems, you moronic fucking Libberhoid ignorant fucks.

YOU idiots created it...
Look at how fucking dumb you are...

Laughable!

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Them diabolical Democrats.

Talking about impeaching their own President and blaming it on the Republicans.

Face it Repubs, with diabolical plotting like this, you Republicans are way out brained and out gunned.

You haven't got a chance against the Democrats. Way to smart for you idiots.

Yeah, dems started this impeachment talk. I guess since impeachment is off the table you had better run for the hills.

Give us a name of a republican calling for impeachment.

2011: Michael C. Burgess[edit]
In August 2011, Republican Congressman Michael C. Burgess of Texas stated that the impeachment of Barack Obama "needs to happen" in order to prevent Obama from "pushing his agenda". Burgess did not mention any grounds for impeachment.[7]

2012: Jon Kyl[edit]
In June 2012, Senator Jon Kyl said on the Bill Bennett radio show that "impeachment is always a possibility" when discussing the Obama Administration policy on immigration.[8]

May 2013: James Inhofe, Benghazi attack[edit]
In May 2013, Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma stated that President Obama "could be impeached over what he alleged was a White House cover-up after last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya".[2] Inhofe said that "of all the great cover-ups in history—the Pentagon papers, Iran-Contra, Watergate, all the rest of them—this ... is going to go down as most egregious cover-up in American history".[2] Republican Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah also stated in an interview that impeachment was "within the realm of possibilities" with regard to the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, later clarifying that "it's not something I'm seeking" and that "I'm not willing to take that off the table. But that's certainly not what we're striving for."[9]

August 2013: Tom Coburn, Blake Farenthold, Kerry Bentivolio[edit]
In August 2013, Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma responded to a questioner in a town hall meeting, who had asserted that President Obama was failing to carry out his constitutional responsibilities, by saying that "you have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president... and that's called impeachment".[10][11] Coburn added, "I don't have the legal background to know if that rises to 'high crimes and misdemeanors', but I think you're getting perilously close".[10] Coburn did not specify what grounds he felt would support impeachment, but NBC News noted that Coburn "mentioned that he believes Department of Homeland Security officials have told career USCIS employees to 'ignore' background checks for immigrants". Coburn mentioned no evidence that substantiated his belief.[10]

At a town hall meeting with constituents, Congressman Blake Farenthold said that Obama should be impeached due to issues with Obama's birth certificate. Farenthold said that he thinks that "the House is already out of the barn on this, on the whole birth certificate issue."[12]

On August 19, 2013, Republican Congressman Kerry Bentivolio stated that if he could write articles of impeachment, "it would be a dream come true". To help in achieving that goal, he retained experts and historians.[13][14]

December 2013[edit]
On December 3, 2013, the House Judiciary committee held a hearing on the President that was formally titled "The President's Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws", which has been viewed as an attempt to begin justifying impeachment proceedings.[15]

My point wasn't that the Senate wouldn't try articles of impeachment...it was that if the Senate Republicans don't have the votes to bring House bills to the floor they OBVIOUSLY wouldn't come close to the additional votes needed to impeach. You need a 2/3's majority in the Senate to impeach. The truth is...even if the GOP won 7 additional Senate seats in the upcoming mid-terms in order to hold a majority in the Senate...they STILL wouldn't have the votes to impeach Barack Obama.

Thank you for admitting that this isn't about Obama actually committing any "high crimes or misdemeanors" because he hasn't.

Instead this is a purely partisan attempt by the GOP to smear Obama's legacy.

A 3rd rate burglary by black bag operatives which were systemic in the federal government from FDR through JFK brought down the Nixon administration because the entire US media was nothing but an arm of the democrat administration. Today we have ten times more serious affronts to the Constitution and what remains of the dominant media still thinks it is no big deal even though the great revolution of the 1st Obama term has degenerated into a defense of impeachment suits. The radical left has apparently been encouraged to "welcome" the inevitable impeachment suit" as a strategy to make it seem as if it benefits the administration. This is a sad end to the liberal revolution.

Thank God for the U.S. media! They are the last of the half-breeds to take a stand against r-wing fascism!

The "job" of the media is not to take political sides. We gave them 1st Amendment freedoms and they don't need to be abusing it. Perhaps we should remove freedom of the Press from the 1st until they learn to be impartial.

Should the media really take a stand "against r-wing fascism" even when liberals control 2/3 of the government and the administratiom is plagued with scandal after scandal?

The "U.S. media" actually represents America as a whole. It's the face of America.

Liberalism will always be preferred by Americans over r-wing conservatism. In fact, the whole freaking world is more comfortable with liberalism than r-wing extremism. Hitler was not a nice r-wing extremist. Neither was Benito Mussolini.

Jesus Christ was a flaming liberal you know!

Horse shit!

Because they never take "political sides"!

When the clause is stricken from the 1st, even FoxNews is affected too. I'm not worried for them. MSNBC ass-kissers will be.

Exactly.

And Boehner today sounded ridiculous when he said he opposed 'impeachment' yet is pursuing a 'lawsuit' against the president when both are equally devoid of merit.

So you support censorship and oppression of the media! You sound exactly like they do North Korea, Iran and the former USSR.

While I might not agree with everything in the media I am willing to die fighting for their Constitutional freedom of expression.

I guess that means that only one of us knows what it really means to be an American.

No one 'gave' the First Amendment to anyone or anything, nor was any other Amendment 'given,' for that matter.

This is an unsurprisingly ignorant statement.

And that you advocate the First Amendment be 'taken away' until the media 'learn to be impartial' is typical of most on the right who fear and disdain free expression and the dissemination of facts and the truth which conflict with conservative dogma.

Boehner is probably the worst speaker of all time. Certainly the worst in living memory. Even Gingrich was competent which is way more than I can say of Boehner.

Another unsurprisingly ignorant statement from the right.

Nixon brought himself down, the consequence of his arrogance and paranoia.

Nixon clearly and unquestionably violated the law as he sought to obstruct justice by impeding the investigation examining the evidence of political campaign contributions used to by the silence of those involved in the cover up.

As is so often the case, the crime was not the crime itself, but the cover up of the crime that violated the law.

And Nixon had only himself to blame for his downfall, having nothing to do with 'the media.'

 

[Theowl32]

Liberals cannot even bring themselves to acknowledge any crime and he has committed over 20 documented violations of the constitution. Now, that may be something the liberals like (we all know they do), but violating the constitution is violation of the law.

Since you piles of shit do not know about any of them, since it is not reported by our great press, I will list them again for you.

I know I will not get anywhere with this, but I encourage the rational thinkers (the conservatives on the board) to copy and paste and use it every time some scumbag, ignorant asshole claims this muslim traitor in chief has not committed any crimes.

These are all violations.

Obama Administration uses IRS to target conservative, Christian and pro-Israel organizations, donors, and citizens.

Operation Fast & Furious.

"Operation Fast & Furious" was the Obama Administration's gun-running scheme that put thousands of American-made semi-automatic weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels and resulted in the death of at least one U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry. Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress and the public, claiming he didn't know about his Justice Department's Fast & Furious operation.



"Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Imposed Cross-State Air Pollution Rules on the state of Texas at the last minute and without an opportunity for Texas to respond to the proposed regulation. EPA overreach was based on a dubious claim that air pollution from Texas affected a single air-quality monitor in Granite City, Illinois more than 500 miles and three states away from Texas." (SOURCE: Report from Nine State Attorneys General)


Obama knowingly lied to Congress and the American people about the killing of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya. The President and his representatives repeatedly said an anti-Islamic video sparked a spontaneous uprising in Libya that resulted in the killings even though Obama knew that the attack was a well-planned military-style assault by al Qaeda on the anniversary of September 11.


Obama Administration officials twisted the arms of defense contractors to not issue layoff notices in October of 2012 so as to avoid causing bad news for Obama right before the election — even though federal law (the "WARN Act") requires such notices. ; Not only is this a violation of the WARN Act, it's also an unlawful use of federal officials for campaign purposes.


Recess appointments. Last year, President Obama appointed three members of the National Labor Relations Board, as well as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, during what he considered to be a Senate recess. But the Senate was still holding “pro forma” sessions every three days—a technique developed by Sen. Harry Reid to thwart Bush recess appointments. (Meanwhile, the Dodd-Frank Act, which created the CFPB, provides that authority remains with the Treasury Secretary until a director is “confirmed by the Senate.&#8221 In January, the D.C. Circuit held the NLRB appointments to be unconstitutional, which ruling White House spokesman Jay Carney said only applied to “one court, one case, one company.”


Welcome to Forbes


You stupid fucking morons. Also, spending without congressional approval is also a blatant violation. You may not care, but there it is. It is just too bad isn't it? How the fucking biggest disaster of a president (it is not close either) is also a blatant criminal.

The pathetic thing about all of you is how you all think you are all so smart, when in actuality you are fucking ignorant morons.

Or he could have been one of the better speakers had it not been for the bane of the TPM.

Boehner's failure was never being able to control the reckless, irresponsible extremists on the right.

The job of the Speaker is to exercise control but right from the outset he fumbled the initial swearing in ceremony and it went downhill from there. If he couldn't control the TP faction then he should have resigned in my opinion.
