But that was the topic of this thread--until it somehow became yet another case of 'let's discuss Ike's upset with other folks on the board.'

My point exactly.

As far as I'm concerned, the entire Republican caucus of both houses should be impeached for treason and for violating the Logan Act. (I know, "dream on".)

Nah. The trend inside the Beltway - particularly in the WH - is to ignore the plain language of the law.

But I'll defer to you you guys. In fact, under your interpretation of the rules, I guess we'd get to impeach Pelosi twice, since her junket to Syria in 2007 was against the express wishes of the Administration at that time.

Care to identify specific statutory or constitutional language and specific conduct in violation of said provisions?

When was any law ever written in plain language.

Even that lefty rag, the Wall Street Journal, thinks this stunt by Sen. 'Dumber Than a Box of Rocks' Cotton is counterproductive.

That is all it is from a bunch of impotent jerks. Surprised that McCain joined in but he is now a 'has been' vying for attention.

The employer shared responsibility provisions of PPACA come to mind. They were supposed to take effect for all plan years starting 12/31/13 or after - the date specified in the text of the law. While this may have actually made sense - it would make more sense to kick the entirely of PPACA to the curb - but changing the law requires actual legislation.

Executed for writing a letter?

The petition needed 100,000 signatures by April 8th. It already has 102,391.

Make that 102,469.

No, it's 102,615.

It's adding 100 to 200 signatures per minute.
