It’s time for the impeachment of Barack Obama

The Right Scoop ^ | Feb 3, 2011

I am fit to be tied today. Hotair reported earlier today that the Obama administration has been held in contempt for disobeying a federal ruling that they must discontinue the oil drilling moratorium they had issued last year:

If he continues to ignore the courts...

I wish one of the oil companies would start drilling again, then sue the Feds if they go after them. A court has ruled that Obama's ban on drilling is illegal, so the oil company would be sure to win. This would set a legal precedent that could embolden other companies (or states) to do the same. And it would make it harder for Obama to simply ignore court rulings because he disagrees with them.

Impeachment?....Hell!...The rat bastard should never have been elected!!

“Problem is, can you imagine the racial wars and riots that would take place in this country?”

Thye’re going to riot anyway.

In the worst scenario possible, it would end up with blacks rioting after Obama’s second term ends because they want him to stay in for a third, no matter the damage to the country. We can explain the laws blue in the face, but it does not mean that blacks in this country will accept that. They will want an EXCEPTION to be made and want him to stay in permanently. They will want Obama to permanently stay as King of America with power passing to his two spud and THEIR children.

Either way, there will be riots because blacks have shown that they don’t want law nad order and due process, they want an endless party with whites/hispanics/asians/Indians pyaing for it for eternity. They don’t want the US to be the US as it’s always has been, but they want a NEW America with whites paying for all of it. Thye don’t care about political party, they care about RACE and they want to continue to be sacred cows of America with whites paying for it.

Either way at tthis point there is likely going to be some sort of rioting with blacks blowing up. They threatened it and got Obama in office through that and chacnes are they will try to blackmail the US into voting Obama into another term. It’s inevitable. If we refuse, they will riot, but at some point we unfortunately have to stand up and tell them, “NO” and then put up wiht their big temper tantrum. One way or another, the fuse is going to blow because by coddling them and letting Obama in, we have just triggered hideous repercussions during a time when strong leadership is important.

Well, keep in mind that civil contempt, while not a crime, can carry with it significant penalty, including fines and jail.

Got ya. What I don't understand the "no crime and punishment" if you will. Why punishing someone with fine or jail if he/she didn't "commit a crime?"

If it isn't a crime, what is breaking the law that way called?

Thanks.

Tilting at windmills is not productive.

I agree 100%. But this isn't tilting at windmills, and though this might not be what you're doing, it's also what people who cry into their beers say to any suggestion of doing something. There are more than a few sites out there with what look to me like reasonable lists of impeachable offenses. I recognize the Senate is majority Democrat. It doesn't matter. We should make the case. Let them defend the things he's done. At the very least it will be entered into the congressional record, and more people will know the things about him that we know. We can't make them agree, but we can honestly present them with it. Do people only do things when they're 100% guaranteed of success?

At my age 75 some things are more important that hitting your head into a brick wall. I would rather do it against a headboard. :^}

“As much as I like the idea, with only 47 GOP senators—a number of the them RINOs-—forget about it.”

True, but there are lots of Dems up for re-election. I think if even more evidence of lawlessness from the administration starts piling up, it could put them in a difficult bind- will Dems from red states want to continue to back a failing, corrupt radical, or save their own hinds?

An unstoppable cancer can be cured by prayer. It’s called a miracle and we can have one, too if we return this land to he Lord. Pray like you have never prayed before and He may show us mercy and the way back to the land we were before the radicals took over.

We are living under the Islamo-Marxist-Chicago Gangster dictatorship of Barrack Hussein Obama.

“of course Obama loves his country, it’s just that Sarah Palin loves mine”

I am so stealing that quote, thank you!

[rarestia]

I pray regularly. I let God guide me through my day. However, there’s no passage that tells me not be prepared for Armageddon, and I’m doing exactly that.

[hoagy62]

Okay...so the blacks will riot no matter what we do.

How do we stop them? As i see it, it’s NOT possible.

Do you advocate going in with a bunch of heavily-armed good-ol’-boys in a mess of pickup trucks into black neighborhoods and start shooting anything that moves?

Don’t count on the military to enforce the law if it comes to blacks rioting...it is 60% black as it is. Who do you think they’ll side with?

(I swear...there are some here who it seems actually WANT blacks to riot so they can commit mass extermination.)

"Why punishing someone with fine or jail if he/she didn't "commit a crime?"

This might get a bit complicated, but not everything that is punishable by a fine is necessarily a crime - not everything that is illegal, and punishable by law, is criminal.

For instance, take your IRS tax return. If you get audited and the IRS finds that you didn't pay your obligated amount, or took inappropriate deductions, they are going to make you pay whatever you didn't plus a fine and interest. Now, they may not believe (or be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt) that you did so with criminal intent. So, they won't seek criminal charges against you, but you're still on the hook for the penalty because you've violated a civil law, codified in either the US Code, or administrative law developed by the Executive Branch, under authority ceded to it by the Congress.

Civil contempt is unique insomuch that it can result in fines and jail time. The Supreme Court has found that to be a reasonable incentive to force compliance, and isn't per se punishment. So, no jury trial is necessary.

There is a legal school of thought that wants to do away with jail-time via civil contempt for non-compliance with a court order. It's a small school of thought, and not one that I personal subscribe to.

If you're interest in more information, I suggest you google a guy named Beatty Chadwick. He holds the current record for imprisonment for civil contempt - 14-years.

"Do people only do things when they're 100% guaranteed of success?"

No, but they need to focus on things that do not have a near 100% chance of failure. Hence, my pictures of the lovely Ms. Decker. It's a perfect anology.

Why, I'd be quite happy to bed Ms. Decker. And there is a chance --- a remote chance --- that I might somehow succeed in my goal.

But, in reality, I'd be better served by focusing on more attainable women and goals.

I think this should be called the "Decker Principle" and all pipe dream threads should be populated with pictures of Ms. Decker, as a new Freeper Rule.

[OldNewYork]

Look, Blacks are not 100% behind him, and it was something like 10% that voted for someone else, a higher proportion of which would be in military, I would guess. They are not 100% of this country either; they’re about 12%. Since when is a democratic republic about letting the minority dictate what the majority should do or fear? That’s not America. On top of that, there are non-White police and military who take their oaths seriously. At what point are you people ready to just turn the country over to the people yelling the loudest and threatening the most? Look at Rhodesia. And look at South Africa that avoided looking at what happened to Rhodesia until it was too late. And look just south of the Rio Grande, or look closer to home how the illegal aliens north of it turned neighborhoods into the places they came from. What kind of America do you want to live in?

[abbyg55]

...with what look to me like reasonable lists of impeachable offenses. I recognize the Senate is majority Democrat. It doesn't matter. We should make the case.

I agree in spirit, but Republicans need to focus on repealing and defunding as many of Obama's unconstitutional overreaches as possible before it's too late. They only have a brief window of opportunity to act.

Right now a majority of the public is sympathetic to the Tea Party's goals and supports GOP efforts to follow through on them. If Republicans try to impeach Obama, it will turn the country against them (aided & abetted by the MSM) and derail any chance the GOP has of reversing the damage Obama has done to this great country of hours.

[Hotlanta Mike]

The streets of the US would become like Egypt if impeachment was brought against BO, that we can be sure of. Who do you think would be held responsible, the Democrats?

---

Who would be out on the streets? The SEIU/ACORN/AFL-CIO thugs? The Code Pinkos? Frances Fox Piven?

Good god. Let them show themselves on the streest and allow mainstream Americans, independants and conservatives to see the real faces of evil.
