The New York Times is the inverse weathervane on any American or Godly idea.

You may reflexively adopt the opposite of their stance on absolutely any topic, and be assured you have chosen the right side.

“Impeaching in the House is easy, convicting in the Senate with the 2/3 majority is the hard part. I don’t think we should impeach just for show. “

Do what Reid did. Change the rule to 51 and have at it.

Still, he has decided not to anger the most extreme wing of his party, which is agitating for obstruction.

Uh! That would be us....funny when republicans win elections the liberals always say they won so they could enact "liberal policies" . As far as shutting the government down.. I subscribe to the Ted Cruz answer to that. Two years after shutting the government down republicans won a monumental election that boosted their numbers in virtually every category...we could stand some more so called disasters that get those kind of results!!!

Valid points. Betting the WH will counter moves to eliminate funds by using EOs to spend it anyway, or vetoing the smaller bills and shutting things down.

This we know: the opposition party needs to grow a spine in the coming months.

I realize it’s a “quirk” of mine. But, one thing that originally attracted me to FR was the opportunity to sharpen argumentation skills and vocabulary and to and write persuasively and logically.

I can enjoy engaging with those who like to engage on that basis. I used to cringe a little at the profanity and vulgarity; not because it offends delicate sensibility - it doesn’t. It’s just thoughtless and of no real consequence to the stated mission.

Mostly, I just lurk and read. And scroll very fast.

The Leftist NYT is simply crying hysterically because if the GOP runs Sessions’ blockade of illegal alien amnesty funding month by month, the Left can’t whip up a monthly frenzy over the Ultimate Threat to the Nation, a government shut down.

Of course, there is no such threat, with Ted Cruz’s government shutdown last December resulting in the Republican’s landslide election this November. No one believes the Obamedia tripe, but they are still trying.

I don’t see any harm in preparing a list of Obama’s impeachable offenses — and debating each of those offenses on live-time TV.

However, an impeachment-attempt-that-FAILS is EXACTLY what Obama wants.

Please let me know when you have 67 “rock-solid” votes for impeachment committed to go....

Until then, I will avoid being tricked into becoming one of Obama’s “useful idiots”

Absolutely right. The New York Times is evil. (Example: publishing officer Wilson’s address.). They idolize thugs like Mike Brown or murderous Palestinian terrorists, and try to justify what they do - no matter what it is.

Constitution amendment needed? We need a Constitution amendment to stop presidents like Obama from abusing the power of executive action. Something like this:

"A simple majority of votes of both the Senate and the House can overturn an executive order."

In fact, I will go one further:

You don't even need to read the issue or the stance the NYT takes.

Simply say, "Whatever the NYT stands for on this issue, whatever it is, I take the 180-degree opposite stance."

God will smile, and Satan will gnash his teeth.

In a speech last Friday at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, Sen. Sessions is quoted by The Hill as stating:
“No, we are not going to impeach or have a move to impeach. The president has certain powers. We truly believe, and I think it's accurate to say he abused those powers.”
Well, of course the Senate is not going to impeach Traitorobama, because that is a Constitutional responsibility of the House. And if Sessions is speaking on behalf of all Republicans in the House, that seems to be somewhat presumptuous of the Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee. Sessions is also quoted as saying:
“I can’t recall such a massive alteration of the classical understanding of what laws mean in America being wiped out.

“He [Obama] undermined, in my view, the moral integrity of immigration law and basically even the constitutional separation of powers.”

If Sessions really made these statements, then for him to suggest the House Republicans will not impeach Traitorobama is for him in effect to suggest that House Republicans will gang rape the oath each of them made to support and defend the Constitution against a traitor who has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

Exactly. Impeachment simply gives Obama grounds to grandstand in front of his base. He will plead not guilty on the ground that the executive orders are within his Constitutional authority, and zero Democrat Senators will vote to convict. Impeachment didn't hurt Bill Clinton one bit, and this will actually help Obama.

You want opposing committees composed of 435 egomaniacs micromanaging everything? Really?
