Impeachment is pointless.

I would like to see a public lynching and hanging, but then that would make me racist all because Obama happens to be ½ black, raised by a white woman and never the son of a slave.
Wow, there is no low that is too low for some, is there, Manasses.

Pretty much how I dealt the idiocy that is Bush, wait for the next election. At least Obama hasn't falsely invaded any countries, there is that.

The fact of the matter is, as you well know, that the Senate would never convict; therefore, impeachment would be a waste of time, and nothing would be gained. back at ya!

I support John Boehner's lawsuit, which I think is a better approach. One constitutional attorney writing about it called it "brilliant."

So since you do not believe it would pass, it wouldn't, you feel like it is a waste of time to try, I do not believe it is in the rules saying that if something needs to be done and it might be difficult then one should not attempt it.
Lawsuit, like that is going anywhere. More like show boating and waste of tax payer dollars.

It will show people once again how insane conservatives have become.
That they are not doing so should be all the evidence you need as to the sanity of conservatives.

I rather think that the Democrat position should be showing people how insane the liberals remain.

It's pretty serious when the President of the United States changes laws on his own, at will, and on a whim. With laws being so uncertain (as in the case of the ACA), how can anyone have any confidence or trust in the law, or the government.

It's pretty serious when the President of the United States chooses not to enforce certain laws simply because he doesn't agree with them (that is a violation of not only his Oath of Office, but also willful failure to up hold the Constitution — which he also took an oath to do). It is the Presidents duty to see that the laws passed by Congress are faithfully executed. If he doesn't uphold the law, he is not doing his job. And it is a very serious matter indeed.

I'm well aware that you don't "simply impeach somebody you don't like." And, by the way, this isn't just "political" either.

Obama is a man with no respect for the law, or our Constitution. He does as he pleases, in clear violation of law and of the Constitution. He had no authority to "invite" the thousands of illegal aliens into the country, promising them they would be allowed to stay once they got here.

Capisci?

He absolutely did! At various times and in various statements, he has welcomed these people. This fact has been discussed many times by pundits, articles have been written, etc. He has acted as though the "Dream Act" was passed into law. It was not. Why are these illegals called "Dreamers?" at you!

It was tongue & cheek. Raised by a white woman and never the son of a slave. Lynching brings on a whole new light, when it's a white boy getting lynched.
