Pointless posturing. There is no means within the system to undo what is going on anymore.

You got that right. The GOP is worthless as a piece of crap.

To borrow a phrase from Nike: JUST DO IT!

Thanks Candor7.

I hope he keeps a gun close and is vigilant.

[Still Thinking]

How far will it get with a Senate lead by Democrats that won’t even pass a budget? Starting the process is one thing, but actually having it work is a horse of another color.

Just initiating the process is a humiliation to him and ties up time in both the executive and legislative branches. Any time they spend screwing each other is time they can't spend screwing us. Plus, it runs the LSM all over the place covering for the bastard.

Even is they could impeach in the House, nothing would come of it in the Senate. Then what?

I think you have it, for the most part. The EOs won't be anything by themselves that would push things over the edge. It'll just make it harder and more expensive to be a legal gun owner.

Infringement, yes, but not so drastic that the vast majority would want to call for impeachment, much less see blood spilled.

I think we are being Alinskied. The rhetoric has gotten so heated that the actual EOs will seem “reasonable”.

Remember, Bush the First EO’d a ban on firearms imports after Stockton. No impeachment followed, no washing the Tree of Liberty with the type O of tyrants.

I've been wrong plenty of times before (thought Zero was toast for re-election) but I'll be flabbergasted if there's anything close to confiscation coming this week in an EO. The anti-gun crowd will just continue to chip away, they won't go for all the marbles at once.

He's MY Texan, you can't have him!!

He did good during the Clinton and Reno years, but was booted out for being too right wing. Of course, He's my kinda congressman. Seems he didn't like Waco and the "Jack Booted Thugs".

Now, just like gum on your shoe, he's back and I'm happy. They shuffled the districts around and now he's my guy. Bwhahahah!

Uh huh. Who gets to convict? Harry Reid’s senate?

Impeachments of the President are rare. We've only had two in the history of the Republic. And, unfortunately in both cases, the President escaped removal.

That means, an impeachment (requiring a mere majority of the House) is automatically newsworthy ... Question is, could the House GOP prosecute the action sufficiently well to sway public opinion (never mind achieving removal)? Or would they only succeed in blunting the instrument thru over use (third time in history ... MSM yawns ...)?

Bttt!

[who knows what evil?]

Gee. I guess the Left's message has finally reached your ears. The Silent Majority should just shut the hell up and never be heard from again...

By all means, impeachment should be used against Obama when he uses an EO to overstep his authority, but we need to realize that it will ultimately not end with his removal for office. We need to be ready for what comes after.
