Would you deny that the impetus for the B******i whining is to create a road to impeachment ? Several teabaggers are claiming just that . Where have you been ?
If you're gonna jump on the B******i Band wagon , then get used to the company you'll be keeping on board .

The reason the Tea Party has little credibility left is because they don't deal with facts. It's all innuendos, hearsay, someone told me, I read somewhere, h**e-mongering, and outright lies.
When faced with the t***h, they cover their ears and go, "la-la-la, can't hear you" because it doesn't fit their demented view of the world.

Since the investigation is ongoing I guess we can't say one way or the other whether or not an impeachable offense was committed, but for the record I do not believe one has, at least as far as B******i goes, any more than Carter was impeached for the hostage rescue fiasco, or Reagan was impeached for Iran/Contra, or any other president was impeached for a stupid mistake. What I do believe is that they have been up to no good and I'm s**k of it. I'm s**k of lies on both sides of the fence. I'm also s**k of all the sneaking around and the meddling they do in other countries. I'm s**k of them making us look bad all over the world. I'm s**k of them honking off our allies by spying on them and getting caught!

Lou Loc: Florida

yea , ongoing ......10 hearings and 12 months .
BTW the rescue disaster wasn't a 'stupid mistake " it was a military operation that went wrong in the operational stage , and Iran contra ? A planned run around Congressional Law, no mistake ,Reagan just had a Cabinet that fell on their swords and a VP -GH who swore Reagan was " Out of the Loop " . Now not arming the Marines with live ammo guarding the gate to the American Embassy in Beirut Lebanon , resulting in 265 k**led US Marines on Reagan's watch ....NOW THAT WAS A STUPID MISTAKE .

There is no Tea Party per se as you intimate. However there are many grass root Tea Parties throughout the country. There is no national one such as the Dems and Repubs have.

Let's start here:

1. President Obama has appointed numerous people to cabinet level positions without the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, as is required by the Constitution. These individuals are given extraordinary power and independent funding, and are not under the scrutiny of Congress. The fact that Obama calls them Czars does not make them legal. He has also made illegal recess appointments of other members of his cabinet that required Senate approval. He simply declared that the U.S. Senate was in recess despite the fact that no such declaration had been made by the Senate. The President has no Constitutional authority to do this.

2. The push by Pres. Obama to pass healthcare legislation in the Congress of the United States that he was fully aware was unconstitutional. He has continued to use his powers and executive branch of government to implement this legislation despite the fact that a federal judge had declared the entire law unconstitutional, and ordered that it not be implemented. In addition, Obama has directed members of his administration to violate the right to freedom of religion protected by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.

Religious institutions such as churches and schools have been ordered to provide contraceptives and a******n inducing morning after pills to employees as part of the health care bill requirements. The fact that this is a direct violation of their religious teaching is of no concern to Obama.

3. Despite the fact that the United States Senate refused to pass the Cap and Trade bill, the President has ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to use regulations to implement key portions of the bill, including those regulating so-called greenhouse gases. Obama himself has acknowledged that this will force energy prices in this country to skyrocket. He is taking these actions in direct defiance of the will of the people of the United States, the will of Congress, and the Constitution. The actions of the EPA include regulations that will force many coal burning power plants to close.

4. Through the Department of the Interior (DOI) Obama has placed a moratorium on offshore oil drilling or exploration off both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and in parts of the Gulf of Mexico. He has also prohibited new drilling exploration on federal land in any states in the United States. These actions by the DOI have continued in direct defiance of several court orders issued by Federal Judge Martin Feldman in New Orleans, Louisiana declaring that the department had no authority to issue such a moratorium on drilling in the Gulf. In fact, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior (DOI) has been held in contempt by the same judge. The administration has claimed to be complying, but has tied up the drilling permits in so much red tape that the effect is the same.

5. Instead of allowing American companies to drill for oil domestically, Obama has betrayed the American people and authorized loans of billions of dollars to countries like Brazil and Mexico so that they can drill for oil, and then sell that oil to the United States. This will dramatically increase our dependence on foreign nations including Venezuela, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, and even Libya that do not serve the interest of America or the American people.

Obama has also refused to approve the keystone pipeline from Canada to the United States that would not only lessen our dependence on oil from countries like Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, but create thousands of new jobs in the United States. The decision on the pipeline is one that belongs in the hands of the members of Congress, not the President.

6. President Obama has abdicated his responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States against i*****l i*********n. He has virtually declared our southern border an open border by declaring certain areas of federal land in states like Arizona as off-limits to federal, state, and local authorities. This is despite the fact that these areas are being used to bring in thousands of i*****l i*******ts, massive amounts of drugs, and also being used by foreign terrorists to infiltrate the United States. He has also ordered the border patrol not to arrest most i*****l i*******ts entering the country, and has stopped deportation proceedings against thousands of people in this country illegally. He is in effect instituting the so-called “dream act” bypassing the Congress of the United States which has sole authority over immigration matters.

7. The President and his Attorney General Eric Holder have clearly violated their oath of office by joining with foreign countries such as Mexico, Bolivia, and Columbia, in lawsuits against the sovereign states of Arizona, Georgia, and Alabama to stop them from enforcing the federal i*********n l*ws.

8. President Obama has ordered the Federal Communications Commission to adopt regulations giving the federal government control of the Internet and its contents, including providing Obama with a k**l switch that gives him authority to shut down the Internet if he sees fit. This is in direct violation of a decision by the United States Supreme Court that the FCC has no Constitutional authority to control the Internet.

There were two bills pending in Congress to effectively give Obama the k**l switch he wants over the Internet. When these two proposals, the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) were withdrawn amid public outcry Obama announced he will sign an international treaty that purports to give him the same authority. He has signaled his intention to do this as an “Executive Act” and not bring the treaty to the Senate for ratification as required by Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution. I believe he intends to take the same action in regard to the United Nations Small arms treaty and the UN Law of the Sea treaty that are both unlikely to get Senate approval.

9. One of the paramount responsibilities of the President of the United States and his executive branch of government is to enforce and defend laws adopted by Congress unless they are declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. Obama has decided that he should ignore this Constitutional mandate, and that as President he is more powerful than either the Congress of the United States or the Supreme Court. He has unilaterally declared that the Defense of Marriage Act passed by the Congress is unconstitutional, and further declared that he will not have the Justice Department defend it against lawsuits.

His administration has also refused to enforce laws against v**er intimidation and federal law that requires states to purge their v***r r**********n lists of deceased individuals and those that are registered illegally. In addition, the Justice Department is refusing to allow states to enforce laws requiring proof of identity by v**ers at the polls. Obama has essentially said that he is the supreme ruler of the United States, and that the Congress and the Federal Judiciary are irrelevant.

10. It has been widely reported that acting through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms the Obama administration was involved for months in getting legitimate and law-abiding gun store owners along our southern border to supply weapons to straw buyers who the government knew would deliver them to the drug cartels in Mexico. This was billed as a sting operation against the cartels when in fact it was designed to produce fraudulent data showing that large numbers of weapons were going from the United States to the Mexican drug dealers.

This data was then to be used, and is being used, to try to justify new gun control regulations to limit the rights of American citizens to keep and bear arms. It has nothing to do with arresting members of the drug operations. The administration has, in effect, armed our enemies, and one border patrol agent has already been k**led by one of these weapons. Now, Obama continues to impose gun control laws by Executive order so he will not have to deal with Congress. The administration is also refusing to cooperate with the committees in the House of Representatives that are investigating the entire operation. It is even defying Congressional subpoenas.

11. The President of the United States is not authorized by the Constitution to take our nation to war without the consent of the Congress of the United States. The only exception to this is the authority granted to the President by Congress under the War Powers Act. This law allows the President to take immediate action without the consent of Congress if there is an imminent threat to the security of the United States, or its citizens. Although there was clearly no such imminent threat caused by the Civil War in Libya, the President committed members of the United States military to combat missions in a foreign country without the consent of Congress. He based his authority on a United Nations resolution, and a resolution by the Arab League.

Now, the President has carried it one step further. During testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 7, 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told Senators that the President has authority to take our country to war without the Congressional approval required by Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution. The administration is taking the position that it can ignore Congress as long as it has United Nations approval or NATO approval.

However, these actions may be the least of the worries facing the American people. The White House insisted that language be included in the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that gives the President sole authority to order the military to arrest and indefinite detain American citizens on U.S. soil if the President suspects them of terrorist ties. This was amazingly passed overwhelmingly by Congress. It appears to be another situation where few members read the bill before v****g on it.

This was almost immediately followed by another unconstitutional executive order titled the National Defense Resources Pr********n order. It is similar to orders signed by past Presidents, but this one includes language that appears to give Obama the authority to declare martial law in peacetime, and take over the allocation of everything from food and fuel to t***sportation and health care. This violates the Constitution in a number of different ways.

12. Last but not the least of my dirty dozen of impeachable offenses, is the fact that since taking office the President has used executive orders, laws pushed through Congress in the dark of night, and administrative actions by his departments to nationalize and control automobile manufacturers, banks, insurance companies, and portions of the healthcare industry. This is designed to take our country from a free enterprise economy to a socialist economy. There is absolutely no authority in the Constitution of the United States that allows the President to do this.

Political persecution of opponents via the IRS is as bad as it gets. Every American should be scared and outraged. Yes its worse than Nixon.

Harry Cat Loc: Taxachusetts

Have a nice life. Don't forget to not v**e in the next e******n. Go organize a community.

BigMike Loc: yerington nv

Nope! I don't deny that at all. Like I said, I don't trust the Republicans any more than I do the Democrats, but if you're so smart and fair you won't hit my with that guilt by association stuff that I'm sure you find odious when others do it. You leapt to some huge conclusions about me from a single sentence and illustrated perfectly how biased thinking has become on all sides. I have every friggin' right to be skeptical about B******i AND what the government has been up to because as an American the things they do are a reflection of ME. I can't help the affiliations of anybody else who may be questioning this particular subject and I'm damn sure not responsible for their motives, and if you h**e all tea party people because you don't like what some of them are doing, then YOU are the biased one, YOU are the prejudiced one, YOU are the bigot, and that's YOUR problem!

Lou Loc: Florida

You teabags haven't proved that one either . You remain scared and outraged over your ignorance ....go crawl under your bed and hide .

VladimirPee

B******i is a terrible issue due to all the lies we have been told from day one. I do not believe it was criminal or impeachable but I do feel its shows how inept Hillary was as Secretary of State.

Lou Loc: Florida

If it walks like a duck ,talks like a duck ,and looks like a duck , then its a duck . Enjoy your title and wear your teabagger badge , although you seem ashamed to admit it ....lol...and I don't blame you . Go on wallow in your misinformation , innuendo , lies and utter ignorance .

p.s. go look up the meaning of the word bigot .

Lou Loc: Florida

Oh I'll v**e , just like I have since '71 , and judging by the fools the teabaggers are leaning towards , lolol...minus the ones you're assassinating now , it will likely be for a Democrat .

p.s. Bet you didn't even know what a community organizer was, until the teabaggers stuck that term down your throat and made you a parrot .

dville Loc: Albuquerque

How many of previous administrations have also been guilty of such abuses on both Rep's and Dem's that weren't impeached? I would say there seems to be an open case how the Constitution is interpreted. There does seem to be an open case of hatred to be able to numerate in such detail.

Lou Loc: Florida

Every single issue you mentioned is bulls**t , and are NOT violations of the Constitution , "Dr.Connelly has found his ignorant base to preach his crap to . Oh and REDF**G NEWS ???

LOLOL.....S**t in /S**t out .......you should be more carefull of what you swallow .
