Without LONG PRISON SENTENCES, any other form of justice is USELESS.

“Exhibit A: Senator Pat Roberts (R., Okla.)”

Whoops! Pat Roberts is supposedly from Kansas. He doesn’t have a house here, but the people in this state vote for him every 6 years none the less.

Maybe he has a house in Oklahoma. :-)

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

CONgre$$ Impeach?

Law and looting, the socialists/totalitarians calling cards.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Unless the Republicans get off the pot there will nothing be done. They do have some things they can do that would give the communists democrats a real head ache but that's about it. The communists empire including the MSM have America tied up as a communists dictatorship and have successfully blocked any attempt to bring criminal charges against them. America let itself go in the garbage can and may never fully recover.

By the way, miss Romney yet? Have you figured out what I mean? Watch out for 2014 because there is no perfect candidate.

I thought impeachment required the Senate. That aint gonna happen. A prosecutor can put someone in jail vs just removal from office. So who’s barking up the wrong tree?

As an alternative, they could just turn the matter over to We the People. I bet the bastards would sing like canaries at one sight of the rope.

Impeachment of the President requires Senate to convict. Not sure whether the same hold true for IRS officials or even an Attorney General.

He said Congress, meaning the House AND Senate.

Way past impeachment, imprisonment at the least.

If Congress needs to impeach any one individual in the executive, it is Barack Obama himself ... But then we also have a corrupt Senate, which will never convict Obama of his crimes, any more than they convicted William Clinton of his TREASONOUS acts in selling our military secrets to the Communist Chinese in exchange for campaign funding. That was the real issue - not some damn oral tryst in the Oval Office.

If Congress is really willing to get its hands dirty, then it should start digging deeply into both Fast and Furious and the Benghazi gun running scheme - the two most notorious of all the Obama scandals, for reason that those two alone got 6 Americans - and countless Mexican civilians - murdered. Obama has blood on his hands - gallons of it ... And Congress needs to get its ball sack cinched up tight and do what must be done ... Else this republic truly is dead.

Nixon’s men weren’t ‘removed’ they were sentenced to prison. The same needs to happen here...

I fear there is not a chance the Congress will do anything. The criminal corruption is so spread out that we no longer have a Constitutional government with laws that mean a damn.

This is laughable. The theatrics are of course entertaining, but all this talk of impeachment, prosecution, etc. assumes that the gop wing of the uniparty in general and the Congress in particular is some sort of separate body interested in justice.

They’re complicit.

You will never see prosecutions of anyone who matters, you will never see impeachments. What you will see is more of the same: stern looks, carefully scripted outrage, and a very slow roll until the statute of limitations expires.

I've got to take what Gov. Jindal said the other day about Americans Patriots being just about fed up and ready to march on Washington - with the ever-more infuriating IRS scandal, and think maybe - is this the spark that starts the inferno?

I am so beside myself with anger over this, and there is no way a States Const. Convention (sorry Mark Levin) is going to bring sanity back - we seem to be left with no rational recourse (other than bleat our dissatisfaction....)
