MUST READ: The American Jobs Act Must NOT Pass

I’ve been telling you Obama is a tyrant for a long time. I’ve said he is making congress irrelevant, now he’s making the constitution irrelevant.

You can not craft a bill where its contents clearly state that it voids the constitution. But then there’s Barack Obama. What you’re about to read is truly astounding. The title of this post says it all. The American Jobs Act must not pass, as you will see, it has nothing to do with jobs and everything to do with power.

With the introduction of The American Jobs Act, Americans may soon witness a rerun of the Obamacare struggle of last fall. Much like its predecessor, president Obama’s newest bill contains certain provisions that would appear to benefit those who wrote the bill more than those for whom the bill was supposedly written.

For instance, buried deep, deep on page 133 of the bill, it states:

SEC. 376. FEDERAL AND STATE IMMUNITY.

(a)    Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from a suit brought in a Federal court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this Act.

Come again? Under the bill’s authority, states are not immune from federal prosecution if they “violate” the act. In the event this bill passes, it will override a state’s sovereign authority as defined and protected under the 11th amendment:

The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.

By what authority does a bill that seeks to “create jobs” and concern itself with things such as “payroll relief” and “teacher stabilization” get the right to override the 11th amendment?

And some of you actually wonder why I hate Obama. It’s past time to remove him from office. Impeachment proceedings must be initiated. Like I said, this bill can not pass and anyone that votes for it, is committing treason and should be hung by the neck until dead (that’s the penalty for treason).

The Blaze summed it up best:

It would seem that The American Jobs Act was drafted in order to achieve statist goals rather than create jobs. The authority of the individual states is all but thrown to the side.

Finally! Congress talks impeachment!

Barack Obama should have been impeached when he and the Democrats changed the rules and forced the partisan ObamaCare socialized medicine debacle, that the overwhelming majority do not want down our throats. I could continue down a litany of impeachable items that fall squarely on Obama, but the GOP was gun-shy being that the Bill Clinton impeachment turned out so well. I’m still pissed about that. It never should have gone forward, that was pure partisan hatred by my side, I never was for impeaching Clinton, but this guy, this Barack Obama, let the lynching impeachment begin!

Congress (both John Boehner & Harry Reid) have been working feverishly to get this debt business under control, and everything I’m hearing is that Obama will veto it. So, long story short and the bottom line is this. If the country defaults it is Obama’s doing and nobody else’s. Also, if Obama allows the country to default, he will be impeached and removed from office. Those aren’t my words.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that President Barack Obama “would be impeached” if the nation falls into default.[...]

King isn’t the first Republican to suggest that Obama should be impeached over the debt crisis.

Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said earlier this month it would be “an impeachable offense” for Obama to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval. In April, former Reagan administration official Bruce Fein drafted articles of impeachment in hopes that House Republicans would introduce them.

The Regime is imploding, and they’re doing it to themselves. He is one of, if not the worst president of all time. No doubt the worst over the last century, he makes Jimmy Carter look good.

This kind of puts me personally in a quandary. Do I hope Obama continues to refuse to put the country first and allow us to default? At least that way we’d get rid of him before 2013 with the added bonus of perhaps prison time. That just might be what’s ultimately best for the country, but at this point in time, it does not appear to be the case.

And let’s not forget a Democrat congressman also has mentioned the “I” word:

And Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in March said the air attacks on Libya are impeachable acts.

Whatever the outcome of this is, it falls squarely on Barack Obama.

“Impeach Obama” says prominent congressional Democrat

Who would have ever thought a Democrat would have more courage and stand by his convictions, putting the country first, doing what’s right and needs to be done while mentioning that magic little word that begins with an “I” than those “principled” Re-pube-lick-enz?

I don’t believe I’ll be calling him Dennis “The Menace” anymore. He’s rapidly climbed to number one on my political popularity chart.

President Barack Obama should be impeached for approving air strikes against Libya, Rep. Dennis Kucinich said in an interview Monday.

“President Obama moved forward without Congress approving,” the liberal Ohio Democrat told Raw Story. “He didn’t have congressional authorization, he has gone against the Constitution, and that’s got to be said.” Several other members of Congress have also chastised the Obama administration for not doing enough to sell the intervention to Congress, let alone to the American people.

Wow! He’s right. It should also be noted:

Kucinich wanted to impeach former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney for their roles in leading the United States into war in Iraq and for their oversight of the conduct of the war, but was blocked by Democrat leadership.

Give the man credit for putting the country and the constitution first, and ignoring the partisan B.S. It doesn’t matter to him if it’s one of his own or one of “the other guys.” You have to admire that. I have a new-found respect for him.
