When it comes to the impeachment and subsequent removal from office of a sitting president, the ‘how’ is found in the Constitution; much of the ‘why’ is found in the Declaration of Independence. The former was an extension of the latter.
As a Constitutional law professor, Barack Obama is extremely familiar with our founding documents but – quite ironically in light of his nearly palpable contempt for Great Britain – he seems to be channeling the individual most responsible for the Declaration’s authorship – King George.
For example:
He (King George) has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
Two states have passed laws recently that have, in effect, been “suspended.” In the case of Arizona’s SB 1070, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton blocked the most key parts of the law one day prior to its scheduled implementation. This never would have been done had Obama’s Department of Justice not filed a lawsuit against the state of Arizona. As for the neglecting-to-attend-to-them part, the law has virtually faded from public view since the ruling.
The other state to have an activist judge rule in favor of the Obama administration – inferred based on the president’s ideology and past statements – is Oklahoma. After 70 percent of that state’s voters decided they wanted to preemptively eliminate the possibility of Shari’a law factoring in to any court rulings there, an activist judge “suspended” the results of the ballot measure.
How courts rule on the multiple lawsuits already filed in different states challenging the legal standing of Obamacare will further demonstrate the degree to which this administration’s luck may not be luck at all.
He (King George) has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Speaking of Obamacare, isn’t this precisely what happened?….
My note:
Impeachable offenses are listed by the scores and the list grows daily, as this Obama administration continues to choose dictatorship leaders in both South America and the Middle East over America's allies. This is the greatest danger to the United States - much more dangerous than Wiki Leaks.
Wiki Leaks has not revealed anything that has not been reported by many a Conservative paying attention these past two years - but now, the laundry list hangs out to dry for all the world to see, and for the American liberal media to no longer ignore.
and so, everyone wishes to point their fingers and play the "Blame Game". I have an idea for an intelligent game board designer:
Develop a game entitled "Secrets - Wiki Leaks"! Each player can place the blame on who and what and where America's security began to leak. You can place Muslims on the Homeland Security Council; place them in the White House; create speeches supporting Islam; disrespect America's allies and honor dictators; .... all roads will lead to the White House, but before the flag of Islam flies over America's front lawns, the winner will create the best solution to stop this madness before it derails America over the waterfalls without a paddle.
