Freshman Republican Rep. Steve Stockman (Texas) on Monday said he would "seek to thwart" executive action by President Obama in regard to gun laws by any means necessary, even if it means "filing articles of impeachment."

Sorry, that is not practical, or wise.

It would be far better to stand up at the State of the Union and holler "Liar!" in unison.

For one thing, unless Obama keels over from heart failure at that, you don't end up with President Biden.

If it simply MUST be tried, get it done before January 20, 2014 when the half way point is reached, so Biden won't be eligible to serve twice more.

Impeachment wouldn't be that big a deal. Now the idea of defunding the white house & any agency that goes along with the gun-grabbing is what's got my attention!!!

"Under no circumstances whatsoever may the government take any action that disarms any peaceable person — much less without due process through an executive declaration without a vote of Congress or a ruling of a court. The President’s actions are not just an attack on the Constitution and a violation of his sworn oath of office," he continued, "they are a direct attack on Americans that place all of us in danger. If the President is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist."

Defund the secret service and capitol police then tell Obama that he is protected by gun laws like everyone else.
He will have the comfort of knowing that there are no guns anywhere near him

and for guts! Now defund every unconstitutional bit of nonsense and let him stew in that oval room of his.

You obviously don't realize the attention of the POTUS will be drawn to defending his office. Also if the VPOTUS is charged in impeachment charges also he will be worried more bout protecting his office. There have been two presidents impeached none removed from office a lot of weeping and wailing and some changes in policy.

What a splendid idea! I would counter the backlash with a simple statement "Respect is earned. When the President decides to respect Congress, the street will again begin to run both directions." The Republicans are on the loosing side of every argument anyway. It is time for a Gonzales moment.

Three, actually.

Andrew Johnson, BJ Clinton, and of course Nixon who beat them to the punch by resigning, to my mind a distinction without a difference. Poor Nixon! He got caught acting like a Democrat.

I've been reading a great deal about John Connally, who Nixon greatly admired. Connally told Nixon to burn the tapes, but Nixon, hospitalized with blood clots, didn't get to it in time.

Yet Nixon was not impeached; so only two. The committee voted to bring the article before the full house, & of course as you stated, Nixon beat them to the punch. Nixon was a victim of media bias. He didnt do much different than JFK & many more before.

Woah nelly! Don't whitewash Nixon. He committed crimes in office that were worthy of impeachment. Just because other's may have done similar things does not excuse what Nixon did.

For the time, what Nixon did was indeed counted as outrageous...compared to the stunts they pull now, it barely rates a blink...and THAT is a real sign of the times.

For the time??? Following Johnson and Kennedy? Oh, please!

Like I said, he was acting like a Democrat, and got caught at it. He had watched Lyndon Johnson for twenty years getting away with all sorts of that stuff, and figured it was how the game was played. The Kennedy's weren't exactly altar boys in that department either. It was John Kennedy who inspired little Billy Clinton to want to be President in the worst way, which eventually he was.

Robert Haldeman got it right. "We're so [expletive deleted] square, we'd get caught." Sure enough! If Nixon had burned the tapes, we would never have heard that!

I think you missed what I was getting at, or I did a poor job of it...by for the time, I mean in the court of public opinion...the press "exposed" Nixon, and the public lapped it up...now, no one hardly blinks. I did not mean to imply that no one else had done anything of that level or worse, I know they certainly did.
