Ron Paul floats impeachment

As much as I despise Comrade O. and would love nothing better than to have him impeached, removed from office and imprisoned, I can’t go along with the reasoning of Ron Paul for the impeachment.

Ron Paul said Monday that President Barack Obama’s targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki might be an impeachable offense.

Asked at a Manchester, N.H. town hall meeting about last week’s killing of the American-born Al Qaeda leader, the Texas congressman said impeachment would be “possible,” but that he wants to know more about how the administration “flouted the law.”

Paul called the killing a movement toward “tyranny.”“I put responsibility on the president because this is obviously a step in the wrong direction,” Paul said. “We have just totally disrespected the Constitution.” Read the rest

There’s no question Obama has flaunted and willfully violated the constitution, and no doubt at all we’ve moved closer to tyranny under his regime than at any time in history with the exception of perhaps FDR. But I don’t think this is actually impeachable.

Anwar al-Awlaki is a traitor that committed treason against the United States, he’d get the death penalty anyway, so that pretty much justifies killing him. Also, I don’t remember reading in the constitution anything about not executing a traitor. So he didn’t get his “due process,” neither did Billy The Kid.

Lawyer drafts articles of impeachment against Obama

Hallelujah! Finally! It’s about time papers were drawn up against Obama. The only question is, will the GOP (or a Democrat) have the right stuff to sign on and push this through? I’d love to see it happen. He needs to go.

A prominent libertarian constitutional lawyer and civil libertarian has drafted an article of impeachment against President Obama over his attack on Libya, throwing down a legal gauntlet that could be picked up by some Congressional Republicans

Bruce Fein, a former Reagan administration official in the Department of Justice and chairman of American Freedom Agenda writes in his 15-page argument of Obama’s course that “Barack Hussein Obama has mocked the rule of law, endangered the very existence of the Republic and the liberties of the people, and perpetrated an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

Fein is a small-government conservative who worked on the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and also called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and his work doesn’t represent the Republican Party line. But it comes as some Republicans on the Hill, led by Senator Rand Paul, object vociferously to Obama’s decision to strike targets in Libya without Congressional authorization.

“He’s been more bold than any other president,” said Fein, who said Obama has failed to secure congressional approval for his military action in a much more brazen way than previous administrations.

“If he can wipe out the war powers authorization, why can’t he wipe out Congress’s authority to spend?” asked Fein. ” If we’re going to be a government of laws, and not descend into empire, this is Caesar crossing the Rubicon.”

Fein said a number of Congressional offices have expressed interest in his proposal.

“They actually need to defend constitutional prerogatives,” said Fein. “There’s definitely been interest on the Hill. There’s at least two dozen who have been open to the idea that this is a serious constitutional crisis.”

Go for it, somebody! Let’s get rid of this horrible excuse of a president before he gets the chance to finish the job and ruin what’s left of the country. He’s already done more than enough damage, time for him to leave.

First call for impeachment has been mentioned by a member of congress

Finally! Somebody actually mumbled “impeach.” It’s about time. This pretty much deals with the refusal to uphold DOMA, which, like it or not, is the law of the land. There are many, many other examples of Obama & Co. doing as they please, law or no law and it’s time to put an end to his reign of tyranny. We live by the rule of law in this country, not the rule of Obama. He needs to be removed and imprisoned. We’ll also throw in his sidekick Eric Holder as well.

A Republican congressman has told a left-leaning blog that if there is collective support, he would favor the impeachment of Barack Obama over his decision to stop defending the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Scott Keyes of ThinkProgress.org asked U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz.: “I know Newt Gingrich has came out (sic) and said if they don’t reverse course here, we ought to be talking about possibly impeaching either Attorney General [Eric] Holder or even President Obama to try to get them to reverse course. Do you think that is something you would support?” Keyes asked.

Franks replied: “If it could gain the collective support, absolutely. I called for Eric Holder to repudiate the policy to try terrorists within our civil courts, or resign. So it just seems like that they have an uncanny ability to get it wrong on almost all fronts.”

Keyes was referring to the announcement by Holder and Obama that they no longer would fulfill their official duties to defend the law of the United States when it came to the Defense of Marriage Act. Read More
