GOP lawyer drafts Obama impeachment

Ben Smith: GOP lawyer drafts Obama impeachment
April 06, 2011


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.

I hope the GOP doesn't waste time with this, they will end up taking their eye off the bigger problems like the debt, the health care debacle, and the brewing ME sh** storm.

This should be ignored. There is too much business to do and this would only be a roadblock.

And Oblama makes a perfect speed bump.

:confused:

If he's not impeached he will most certainly be around another four years...

Not a chance, he's history!

I'm sorry to say it's not a sports game. Your team doesn't always win just because you support them.

It's fun to place blame on a political opponent when you interact with politics as though it is a team sport, but there are good guys and bad guys on both sides, equal split, and to blame one singular individual for problems in this country is either ignorant of the system of checks and balances in place, or intentionally disruptive of a political party simply because you disagree with what you think they are about. There are plenty of REAL things to dislike about the presidents policies without having to fabricate issues with rhetoric.

With no viable candidate on the Republican side and with Obama's clout as the incumbent president, fighting two (three?) wars, he's a shoe-in for reelection.

There's a reason no Republicans have announced. They don't want to become the modern day Michael Dukakis.

kessprin, when you announce you are running, its done when the timing is right, I still think its to early to announce. Some people are laughing at obama for announcing so early, and these people are on the left. Its like a horse race, the first one out of the gate is not always the winner.

Are those same people laughing at the GOP for scheduling a debate amongst the Republican candidates so early? You know, the one they just canceled because there aren't any Republican candidates?
