Reid, you don’t get it. You will be made powerless as well.

Well, the out-of-work-undertaker has just given reason for his own impeachment, along with The Usurper.

Cool. We will get a impeachment charges and a Supreme Court ruling. Everything is a drama with Obama. Nice rhyme.

I think people of Hairy Roid’s home state should seriously question why they’re paying him if he has no intent of representing them.

If Obama bypasses the Congress on the Debt Ceiling, Congress should commence impeachment proceeding immediately.

With all these senators ceding their authority to the king, maybe its time to go back and take another look at the 17th amendment.

Reid: the representatives of the people are a non-entity. We in the House of Lords and the King shall decide all matters.

While we’re at it, maybe dig into the 16th as well.

So Reid is speaking for the whole Congress now?

Is Reid giving Obama permission to ignore the House? On what authority, just by virtue of being a Democrat?

One step closer to a coup. More and more we are moving toward the Venezuelan model with a Maximum Leader and a ruling party that ratifies the diktat of the dictator.

The US no longer has any “faith and credit”. We are being run by knaves and fools.
