To Impeach or Not to Impeach
PJ Media ^ | June 25, 2014 | David Solway

It has been persuasively argued that President Obama is impeachable on many grounds. Having joked that he could do anything he wants, Obama is guilty of running roughshod over the Constitution, bypassing Congress and governing by executive decree, stuffing his administration with Muslim Brotherhood operatives, making common cause with America’s enemies and betraying its allies, promoting the global warming scam at enormous cost to the taxpayer, accepting illicit campaign donations, failing to defend U.S. soil against illegal border crossings (in direct contravention of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution), being in contempt of federal court for his oil-drilling moratorium in the Gulf, allowing the IRS to target conservative nonprofits seeking tax-exempt status, approving via his attorney general Operation Fast and Furious, concocting the Benghazi cover-up, and constantly and illegally rewriting the rules of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, at least 29 times to date. A more comprehensive record of Obama’s ethical violations and misdemeanors lists 51 reasons for impeachment, some of which may be comparatively borderline, others flagrant.

Disappointing that Dr Sowell would say this.

Our Constitution does not provide for a “no confidence” vote such as those common in parliamentary democracies. So any such vote would be largely symbolic and not binding. Not to diminish the value of symbols. They can be powerful tools to effect change. But legally they carry no weight.

Public opinion hasn’t seemed to affect Clinton’s impeachment by any means...

How do you know that? We got 8 years of a Republican administration after Clinton.

It's not about a parliamentary-defined event, IronJack. It's about making such a strong statement that it would by its nature undermine the tyrant. Symbolic? Well, yes and no. Nobody has ever before told a sitting president, formally, that he is on such thin ice that he is facing removal and arrest.

Failing that, I'd like to see him refused entry to a state on the grounds he has been declared “persona non grata.” Has been declared a traitor in the great state of (fill in the blank). Has an arrest warrant in (name state) with his alleged name and 5 or 6 aka’s on it.

The media liars could ignore it a few minutes, then Alinsky it, but the story goes viral despite them.

We are not as helpless as it may seem.

It’s a nice theory. But I think you’ll need a bigger hammer to dislodge these grifters.

>> What’s the worst he could do?

Arm our enemies, facilitate invasion, cripple us economically... trivial things like that.

All things he has done and is doing.

Dr. Sowell tends to be a practical-ist at the expense of principle sometimes. Nothing wrong with counting the cost and considering the practicalities of a point of action, but sometimes you die on principle, or you get killed anyway.

Michelle Bachman simply recommends defunding the executive branch. I like that idea, too.
