I so despise this gang of thieves and thugs:
Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) said on Monday that impeaching President Obama “would be a consideration” if he moves forward unilaterally on immigration.
Barton’s comments were made during an interview with former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), who now hosts NewsMaxTV’s right wing program “America’s Forum.”
Barton was asked about the possibility that Obama could take executive action to slow deportations.
“Well impeachment is indicting in the House and that’s a possibility. But you still have to convict in the Senate and that takes a two-thirds vote,” Barton said. “But impeachment would be a consideration, yes sir.”
For the next two years the Republicans will do everything in their power to be thrown out of office in 2016. And so will the Democrats. But the 1% won’t allow that to happen. 95% of the incumbents will be reelected. Last Tuesday 80% of those who voted said that the politicians already sitting in the House and Senate were useless and not doing the people’s business. Yet, 96% of them were reelected. Sure gerrymandering has something to do with that, but not as much as the media would have us believe. Something else is going on with the vote count. (Note: my broker is the great-great-great grandson of Gerry. He’s an interesting guy and knows the history of this topic.)
Guantanamo, torture, drone killings — these potential violations of the Geneva Conventions would be grounds for impeachment in my view. But the investigation would implicate the prior administration as well, so I wouldn’t count on the criminal prosecutions here any more than I would criminal prosecutions of senior bankers.
