Palin is right

I don't think that she is right in this case. Impeachment is not about justice, it is a political act and it is the Constitutional political remedy for a President who has exceeded his authority or his mandate. Once he has passed this threshold, almost any act will pass muster to bring impeachment charges and to prevail in a Senate trial. But it is foolish to proceed unless you have the political means to carry it to its end.

There is no doubt that he has broken laws and defied the Constitution and would be convicted in any fairly run court of law. But this is not about the law, it's about politics and you cannot proceed to trial unless you have the political will to deliver two thirds of the votes of the Senate. You don't set out to kill the King unless you are certain that you can get it done. If the King survives, he will be stronger. We learned that lesson with Clinton. The Democrats can stymie any attempt to impeach Obama and will use the occasion to advance their agenda.

What we need to do it to use the anger and frustration with Obama to elect more conservatives to the House and Senate and to destroy the Democrats in the 2016 election.
