Since when do we have the Senate?

My mistake.
I missed the “if”.

The Republican majority House could and should impeach him. It's irrelevant whether the Senate convicts.

Now if the Republicans win a majority in the Senate, keep the House and still do not impeach, well then the GOP is finished.

“”I think the most effective, efficient way of doing it, the way that sort of maximizes the deterrent effect without significantly disrupting government in general is for Congress to use its spending power in such way that withholds funds in areas in which the president has overreached,” Lee said”

Oh, I see-—like stopping the federal deficit budget from being raised—like the way ya’ll did that?

Being a resident of Rush’s Realville, I must wonder how do we get impeachment through the dingyharry Senate?

Now if we can get a significant Congressional majority in November, the whole world changes.

I would think that a possible legal case could have to do with the favored groups exempted from the law, and those who have not been exempted could sue under equal protection.

I realize the Supremes’ ruling that the ACA is a tax makes this more difficult, as the tax code is full of special exemptions, but the exemptions have clear political ends, and thus could conceivably fall under RICO, where standing wouldn’t be an issue.

It seemed to me that the first exemptions issued by the administration exposed the whole law to nullification, under equal protection rights, but I’m not a lawyer, so maybe not.

A BS way out of following the law... by a treasonous politician yet I repeat myself

Here I will help:

18 usc § 2384 seditious conspiracy...

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

Holder and Obama should be charged with this... and in effect committing treason by overthrowing the government...

Seditious Conspiracy

“You’ve got to show three things: you’ve got to show that the plaintiff has suffered an injury in fact—a concrete, particularized harm that’s fairly traceable to the conduct of the defendent, and it is capable of being redressed or remedied by the court.”


What about an employee of a company that does not supply insurance and has more than 50 employees? Has that employee not suffered “injury in fact” and is it not traceable to the defendent (government overtly allowed the employee’s boss to not obey the law), and can the court not remedy it (require the defendent to uphold the law)?

And what your post shows is that Lee is either incompetant or lying. Neither is a good thing.
