Impeachable Obama: Freelancing the Law
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | Saturday, February 8, 2014 | By Tribune-Review

Posted on 02/08/2014 9:26:20 PM PST by kristinn

President Obama is determined to render the Constitution a dead letter and rule by executive fiat. Think of how he repeatedly, and illegally, has changed the law underpinning ObamaCare in response to unflattering prevailing winds.

But now, his proclivity for constitutional insolence has reached a new and dangerous low that threatens national security: His administration is dictating changes to a law that will make immigration possible for those who provided “limited material support” to terrorists.

SNIP

Whether it's the Immigration and Nationality Act or ObamaCare, no president has the authority to arbitrarily change laws passed by Congress. That Barack Obama continually does is contemptible — if not impeachable.

The EXEMPT, their EXEMPT Staff, and their
extra-special EXEMPT families, all say,
“What difference does it make?”

Never fear! The cowards that are the Republican Party will never entertain the even the thought of impeachment for fear of being labeled racists.

This really cannot be an accident. It must be deliberate.

IF the above quote is true, THEN why hasn’t the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, taken action against Obama?

The GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the NWO (global mafia) that installed non-citizen Soebarkah in the White House.

When he is unmasked, the American people will begin to see the fraud at every level..... which concealed his identity while marketing him to gullible voters.

Boehner was installed BECAUSE he won’t lift a finger to stop Obama.

That’s the only reason they put him there.

What are his other qualifications?

Crying?

Drinking scotch?

They probably stripped him down and planted him in a jacuzzi with Lindsey, then filmed them both naked singing the Rubber Ducky song from Sesame Street.

But he hasn’t. He has encourage and pressured others - government officers, businesses, individuals - to violate the law.

Hasn't he pretty much done that already? And no one has done ANYTHING to stop him

But now, his proclivity for constitutional insolence has reached a new and dangerous low that threatens national security

I am totally, completely, 100%, forever cynical of him. If he threatens our security, then he is succeeding in his quest. And no one has done ANYTHING to stop him. Unfortunately, he has pigmentation immunity.

Every once in a while it is good to revisit this:

That last paragraph says it all. This has got to stop.

I have said this before. Impeachments should be more frequent. Maybe one out of four presidents should be impeached. I am serious. The last thing we need is an emperor. Remember ancient Rome? After Julius Caeser seized power, a generation or two longed for a return to the republic. It never came. Power unchecked becomes consolidated. If ever there was a case to impeach a president, we have one here, before our very eyes. He views the Constitution with contempt. He should be taken to the curb with the rest of the trash. He won’t, of course, and that means that his abuses will be consolidated with future presidents. It is only downhill from here.

That’s a talking point that is always used to stop any criticism of the President.

He wouldn’t even be trying this crap if he were white...he knows his color allows him to get away with it....and so does everyone else.

How many decades were spent beating us down until we’d accept this?

The lawlessness is astounding, but he has Reid standing for him in the Senate. Boehner and McConnell are helping out Reid as well.

Impeachment would require backbone, something sorely missing in the Republican Party.
