GOP lawyer drafts Obama impeachment (over Libya)
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 01:55 AM by alp227
Ben Smith, Politico.com

A prominent libertarian constitutional lawyer and civil libertarian has drafted an article of impeachment against President Obama over his attack on Libya, throwing down a legal gauntlet that could be picked up by some Congressional Republicans

Bruce Fein, a former Reagan administration official in the Department of Justice and chairman of American Freedom Agenda writes in his 15-page argument of Obama's course that "Barack Hussein Obama has mocked the rule of law, endangered the very existence of the Republic and the liberties of the people, and perpetrated an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor."

Fein is a small-government conservative who worked on the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and also called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, and his work doesn't represent the Republican Party line. But it comes as some Republicans on the Hill, led by Senator Rand Paul, object vociferously to Obama's decision to strike targets in Libya without Congressional authorization.

How do such stoopid people manage to get through the day without hurting themselves? Bewildering.

4. But WE didn't impeach over Iraq?
These people have no interest in democracy whatsoever. I don't know why they object to Sharia law. I think they'd love it.
