Republican amnesty game plan missing in action
Tom (Nuke Mecca) Tancredo was a GOP presidential candidate in 2008. He lost a gubernatorial bid as a Constitution Party candidate in 2010 when Republican Dan Maes completely imploded down to 10%. He also lost a primary bid in this year.
In short, Tom Tancredo, a racist, bigot, homophobe, and loser in general, is a GOPer.
So yeah, no GOPers are talking about "impeachment". Uhuh.
Fun times ahead.
There have always been two main arguments against impeachment even among those who support it in principle – first, that it is not practical because it would never succeed in the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate, and secondly that, well, you just can’t impeach the first black president no matter what he has done. But given the likely new political circumstances post-Nov. 4, both of those arguments have lost their power.
In the first place, impeachment is no longer “impractical.” In fact, it is the only practical means of stopping the president from undertaking unconstitutional actions. Lawsuits won’t work because even if you win in court after a two-year long appeal process, the Supreme Court’s decision would be moot: The amnesty could not be undone. Everyone understands this.
If Republicans capture the majority in the U.S. Senate as now appears almost certain, the 2015 Congress is a new ballgame. If the House were to bring impeachment charges based on not only the amnesty but several other unconstitutional actions, do Democratic senators want to run for re-election in 2016 on a platform that starts with apologizing for Obama’s unconstitutional behavior?
Here’s the key question: Is Obama so popular now that Democrats in 2015 and 2016 will fall on their swords to defend him? Do Senate Democrats want a vote against impeachment to be the defining issue in their 2016 campaigns, while also defending the influx of millions of additional illegal aliens across our unguarded borders?
The Obama presidency is self-destructing. All that is needed to neutralize his planned amnesty and other unconstitutional actions is Republican courage to follow the Constitution and impeach the man.
