An academic was the first to cross the invisible line.
“The ultimate check on presidential lawlessness is elections and, in extreme cases, impeachment,” Georgetown law professor Nicholas Rosenkranz told Representative Darrell Issa at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on the president’s duty to uphold the law.

ask yourself, why is he pushing the question concerning election laws?
“A two thirds majority vote in the Senate is required to remove an impeached president from office. We are so screwed.”
Only as long as it is a partisan thing. If we want to move things forward we’ve got to do convincing - especially now while people’s attention is aroused.
Stay prepared. Stay safe.
Some folks would rather except defeat than fight against long odds.
That's the first time I've seen Trey Gowdy speak. I've got to say, I'm very impressed. That is exactly my idea of how our elected reps are supposed to function on our behalf.
I think the answer to that question lies in these two words: pain threshold.
The people will finally stand and force the government to back up when their pain threshold is exceeded. I'm convinced that Obamacare will do just that.
I hope you are right. But we have the whole frog in the boiling water analogy thing to deal with. Most Americans, it seems to me, are oblivious to the fact that we even HAVE a government, much less that we have an oppressive one. I see all these zombie mini-series, and all I can do is shake my head and say, I have been living in a kind of zombie-thon for twenty years now. And there just aren’t enough silver bullets in the barrel.
Here's my fantasy: Harry is staggering home from a Washington, DC gay bar at 3 o'clock in the morning. A black van with dark tinted windows pulls up beside him. The rear door slides open…(fill in the rest).
“The ultimate check on presidential lawlessness is elections and, in extreme cases, impeachment”
Elections are to select persons for Office. Lawlessness is remedied by impeachment.
I’ll amend that
Lawlessness is remedied by impeachment of a person legally qualified to hold that Office.
Impeach - Indict - Imprison.
Obamacare is going to kill people. Of that, there is no doubt. When Americans' loved ones begin dying because they no longer can afford or have access to the quality health care they did recently, you're going to begin to see some huge ripple effects from their collective anger.
Obama and the Democrats changed the way health care in this country operates. Even the most dumbed down low infos know that by now. The point is, those who are most severely impacted by the negative consequences of this bad law, are going to know exactly where to fix the blame for their pain and loss.
This is precisely why Obama keeps pushing back the deadlines. He and the congressional Dems already know how much pain and suffering Obamacare is going to create, and they're trying their best to spin it, retreat from it, tweak it, ignore it, or stave off the arrival of the piper.
” If the Republicans don’t do something very soon and stop being pussy’s about impeachment then Zero will continue to crap all over this Nation! “
Yes, he is full of crap ~~ and it SHOWS !
“Some folks would rather [accept] defeat than fight against long odds.”
Yup. And others would condemn their representatives for not doing something which has no mathematical chance of success, rather than working to set the table for a success.
You left out “Remove”, or “uphold” after “Impeach”.
Is that execution by firing squad or hanging, sometimes known as lynching?
I can go with that...
Impeach - Remove - Indict - Imprison.
:)
It is awfully late to be getting me that excited.
I think the traditional sentence for treason is hanging and the word lynching is never used for legally sanctioned executions.
