It is not the responsibility of the House to gauge the probability of a conviction in the Senate. If the House believes that Obama has committed high crimes and misdemeanors and has consistently engaged in a pattern of lawlessness, then it is their constitutional duty to vote on articles of impeachment. Anything less is a dereliction of their own sworn oaths.
I don’t give a damn about the political ramifications. The members of the House have a duty at this time to impeach him and the members of the Senate have the same duty to remove him from office.
If we can’t convince Freepers (of all people) of this fact, then the country is indeed lost.
Obama may never be removed from office. But that does not relieve Boehner and the House from their sworn duty to defend the Constitition against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
WRONG!
The Founders gave impeachment duty to Congress because the Founders WANTED such decisions to be POLITICAL!
Congress is allowed to let politics play a roll, but the Courts should not bend to popular will or politics.
It is the duty of MY Congressman to support his conservative District and do his best to avoid giving up his seat to the opposition because of a stupid decision.
NOBODY has a “duty” to impeach anyone. It is a choice and at this time it is a bad choice.
I agree with you 100%.
JB wants us to stay calm, shelter in place and be patient.
I agree...
the worries about the midterm would be moot if they had impeached his ass years ago when he started this crap.
I agree with you too.
