Obama’s crimes are shocking in not only their number, but their nature and extent as well. From his similar corruption of the Department of Justice into a partisan scourge to protect his cronies and punish his enemies; his lies to the country about his knowledge of and role in the Benghazi debacle and his cowardly betrayal and needless sacrifice of four brave Americans; his incredibly cynical anti-firearm Operation Fast and Furious which has cost the lives of an untold number of innocent Americans and Mexicans; to, worst of all, his attempted coup-by-illegal-alien, by which he has ignored his explicit duty under our immigration laws in order to fashion a permanent Democrat voting advantage by counterfeiting voters out of citizens of Mexico and Latin America whom he has invited to illegally enter the US. These are just the most egregious, major impeachable offenses, and don’t begin to reach the financial and political corruption Obama has engendered through his “crony capitalism”.

It matters not a whit that partisanship has so corrupted Congressional Democrats, or that the imperative to appeasement has so infected Congressional Republicans, that obtaining a conviction, if not passing the very articles of impeachment, would be doubtful. His crimes cry out for redress, and justice demands a reckoning. When courage and principle was needed, the GOP leadership responded with cringing and fear, for which many are soon to pay the penalty. It is history’s shame that no one in Congress had the moral courage to even attempt to hold Barack Obama to account for unprecedented crimes.

* He was not impeached. The House Judiciary Committee
recommended impeachment, but there was never a vote taken by the House of Representatives.

Nixon had articles approved by a house committee but the articles were never voted on by the whole House.

He designed before the vote.

I think that republican Senators would be more likely to vote the personal beliefs than party line, I propose that if, parties reversed, the impeachment vote in 1999 would have been very much close. I am not prepared to say that the impeachment would have been approved.

Instead all 45 democratic Senators voted against all impeachment charges. To further demonstrate my position, 10 republicans voted against at least one impeachment count.

In 1974, I have absolutely no doubt that a democratic President would have completed his term. I have my doubts that the impeachment charges would have even passed, let alone removal from office

I tried my blogger’s best to get the GOP to issue a serious impeachment-threat in 2014: http://www.nationalreview.com/postmodern-conservative/384310/case-formally-threatening-obama-impeachment-right-now-carl-eric-scott No-one who counted listened, and it’s things like that that are part of the reason we now face the shameful possibility of a Trump nomination.
