Second GOP congressman suggests impeachment

2013-01-17

[DAILYCALLER] A second Republican congressman is suggesting that impeachment should be an option as President Barack Obama
Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back...
takes executive action to enact gun control measures.

In an interview with Florida's "The Shark Tank," Florida Republican Trey Radel addressed Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman's statement that he might seek impeachment if Obama goes forward with executive action to bring about gun control measures.

"All options should be on the table," Radel responded.

Obama announced 23 executive actions during his Wednesday presser. (READ: Obama's 23 executive orders

"It is one of those times in our history, we are at this breaking point," Radel added, going to to explain, "We have completely lost our checks and balances in this country, the Congress needs to hold the president accountable for the decisions that he's making right now, and that why again, I would say that all options should be on the table."

#5 Ha ha, that's adorable, EC. American schools stopped teaching the concept of "limited government" many years ago. As if King George III will come charging in with his Stamp Act and his redcoats and muskets and bayonets to enforce it, or whatever happened? Ridiculous. It's all about fairness and self-esteem and identity politics now. It's the modern world, the 21st century! We're all enlightened now (well, those who agree with Obama, anyway.) How could anything possibly go wrong?

It's a beginning... which (in my opinion) should end in deportation.

#3 Time to remind yourself that the US Constitution is not about the government telling THE PEOPLE what it can do, but about WE THE PEOPLE telling the government what it can do.

And more importantly, what NOT.

#1 IRONY > a POTUS at risk of impeachment for abuse of Executive/Prsidential Privelege vee Gun Control, BUT N-O-T FOR ANTI-SOVEREIGN, ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL OWG + OWG NAU???

Reminds me almost of POTUS Clinton's impeachment for lying under oath as per Monica, BUT NOT FOR SELF-ADMITTED/PROCLAIMED ELECTION FRAUD.

The establishment in Washington must be gluttons for making sure the wrong issues never get addressed - THE SOONER CHINA OPENS FIRE ON JAPAN IN NE ASIA + THREATENS NUCLEAR WAR ON THE UNITED STATES, THE BETTER FOR THE RETURN OF ETHICS OR MORALISM TO WASHINGTON + US POLITICS.

Histoire' + Perts say "It takes a major Incident or Event" - so be it!
