Well that is just it....how can you prove or disprove practicing in good faith?
How can you prove what a religion is on not is? L. Ron Hubbard invented one right?

I would say you're close but it's much bigger. More of a push back to how Obama is running this country and thinks he is above the laws of the land.
Did you hear his speech yesterday? It's very disheartening listening to him be so divisive and thinking his way is the only way. Thinking he has some unlimited power that he can wheel to his base and screw the other 73% of the country.

He looks to me as playing a political game and that's all that matters. He looks to me as trying to force an impeachment action against him. If he can do this I think his administration feels they might get a momentum boost in 2016.

I feel this is the best time to take action against him because people are seeing the dictator within him. This country is not only comprised of far right Demarcrats.

What a hoot, since Congress has decided that inaction is the order of the day then a POTUS trying to accomplish anything for the benefit of the citizens is a dictator? Danny Boy those citizens elected him in a free and fair election. Your boy had his butt handed to him on a plate. Get over it.

By the way what in hell is a Demarcrat? Somebody that draws borders?

The court will cross that bridge if it comes to it. I do not know the answer.

Inaction is atributed to two sides, it's called working together. we can go all day long as to who's fault it is but it gives no President the right to be a Dictator.

1. If he is looking to get impeached, why would you not take my bet.

2. How does an impeachment action against him help his party in 2016? Explain.

3. What action do you propose be taken against Obama. Impeach? But according to you that is what he is gunning for. So go for it and take my bet.

4. "This country is not only comprised of far right Demarcrats.". What does this sentence mean?, and I don't mean the misspelled word.

I was never a G W Bush fan, but that didn't stop Finn from telling me that W was " my guy" in another thread.

I was thinking maybe all the corporations may decide to go Christian Scientist. Scientists lol, you know the ones that will watch their children die of cancer because God wills it rather than seek the human help that this same God also gave us the ability to learn to save lives.
