The Right Scoop
I personally respect the right for people to say and believe whatever they like, but some of the comments here are unreasonable, if not outright insane. I will say that after reading the 14th Amendment, I have to agree with the author of this article that if the President does this, it should be considered unconstitutional. I have nothing wrong with reasonable opposition to the President (I personally am a non aligned liberal who voted for the President in 2012, although opposed him in 2008). It is simple, the president is neither a dictator or a king, if he were the Congress would be dissolved and this website would be outlawed. Additionally, any Americans would be arrested for speaking against the government. The Congress and the President both follow the Constitution like it is the Bible. I definitely agree that the system has not been working and there is a great deal of corruption, but everyone is working within the system that was created and it needs to be reformed.
Even if he is impeached the President would probably not be convicted because Democrats (who reccomended he do this) control the Senate and the Supreme Court will be unable to hear this case because neither side has the right to sue. The President is not and never will be dictator. Anyone who says that he is should not be regarded as credible. Additionally, I think that if the Republicans act like children (maybe even terrorists) then the President should do what he deems necessary to protect the nation. It should be noted that if does this he is not increasing spending or raising taxes, he is merely ensuring that we pay for the biils we have already accumulated. We definitely need to reduce spending, but the debt ceiling needs to be raised first, otherwise we will face severe repercussions (which hopefully the Republicans will be blamed for, since they will have caused it). Even Newt Gingrich (who I do not really like) said Congress should raise the debt ceiling.
Mark is a great teacher. The more I learn from him the madder I get. Who has the guts to stop this man?
When will they get that the spending is the problem, not the solution? I listened to some idiot on hannity yesterday that said we are not spending enough, that since the interest rates are so low we are not in trouble with this or a higher rate of spending, BUT what if the interest rate rises, it will hurt our economy further.
The Keynesian experiment has failed: failed to produce more jobs (except in government), with unemployment rising again, failed to produce product, manufacturing output is going down again, (except for firearms). Wages are down, record number on food stamps.
Even if he is impeached in the house, the Senate will not remove him. Impeachment will only embolden him to take more action against the American Citizens. It didn't stop Clinton.
Congress has sold their souls. They have constitutional mandated powers. They choose not to use them. That means they are coconspirators. 2016 is gonna be ugly for Democrats and establishment republicans.
Should be impeached for a million reasons over the past 4 years and to date....
This POTUS does not believe in the Constitution.
He has succeeded in convincing the country that with just over 52% of the vote he now has a mandate to do anything he pleases.
Sadly, the low info voters know no better and will let him.
When will the revolution begin?
When the press, TV and low info voters realize they've duped.
Unfortunately, they are too dumb to know what "duped" means.
Nah, if the House wants to impeach anyone, it should be those in the Senate who've not passed a budget in several years. Include that those impeached must recuse themselves from any impeachment vote that reaches the Senate. The Senate's inaction on passing a budget as required by the Constitution is the foreplay that allows the Ocrats all over the map to spend whatever they want and put the blame on the GOP for letting it happen.
The only reason the Ocrat Senate has the cojones to start and keep the deficit ball rolling is they know the LOSERship in the House are crybabies who have none...
If you read all the Executive Orders Obama has already signed (http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions), you will see that he has already declared himself king. He gave himself complete control over all business, all assets, and all communications, even declaring a national emergency over Russia's arsenal in order to use martial law at any time. He needs to be impeached and the Constitution restored as the supreme law of the land! www.impeachpresidentobama.weebly.com
If you read the many Executive Orders have already signed (http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions), you will see that he has already declared himself king. He needs to be impeached! www.impeachpresidentobama.weebly.com
Do you really think the republican establishment would have the fortitude to impeach this tyrant?
Well, what would happen if Obama gave an Executive Order and nobody carried it out? It's one thing to make a law, it's another thing to carry it out. I'm not really sure you will have a lot of people being able to enforce tough gun laws in places like Texas and Oklahoma. Just saying.
I know this is off topic.....but Ruger has a "take action" page to send a message to our representatives that gun owners take their gun rights seriously and wont stand idly by as the "progressives" seek to cripple the 2nd amendment.
Please help and spread this around
Levin in hitting it dead center. By the Constitution of these U.S: The Senate initiates all spending Bills, the House initiates all taxing Bills. The House has already punted on its control over taxes giving that power over to the Senate in Obumacare, declared a tax by the SC, and the Fiscal Cliff Bill that just passed. The Senate knew they were violating the Constitution both times, Obumacare with Piglosi as House Speaker and Fiscal Cliff Bill with Boehner as House Speaker. So both D and R controlled House rolled over the Constitution. Now will Reid, Majority Leader in the Senate give his power over spending to Obuma? The reality we face is that is the only thing standing between remaining a Constitutional Republic and total Anarchy leaving Obuma to take total power to restore order under a Totalitarian form of Dictatorship imposed from the Executive Branch. The real question is has America as a Constitutional Republic already ceased to exist under its Laws? Both Branches of Congress have violated the Constitution. The Executive Branch has violated the Constitution. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court violated the Constitution approving Obumacare. Does any of this point to America Governance remaining a Nation of Laws or now a Nation of Law breakers with no right to exist except by the Power of Executive Decree. Did Americans sleep through the coup of all coups?
The answer to your question, quite simply, is no to the first, and yes, to the second.
There is no one in Washington right now, who is running this country, who believes we actually have a Constitution we have to abide by, in the governance of this nation.
None of them. Not one. Our President, least of all.
This is not a government of the people, as Jefferson envisaged. This is a government of the Goddamned Politicians. May they all rot in Hell.
Because that is what they deserve, for having turned the dream that our Founders had, into this mess we find ourselves in today.
And yet, the citizens are compliant. A firm hand is at the helm. Obama is in control.
Sixteen Trillion in debt. Soon to be Twenty trillion.
I don't know how many of you follow the financial markets, but I am here to tell you, that this entire country is just about to go off the proverbial cliff.
Actually, at this point, there really isn't anything any of us can do. It has gone past the point where a remedy would be possible.
Our debt that you read about in the news, is Sixteen Trillion. By the end of Obama's second term, that figure will be more like Twenty Trillion.
How is it even possible, to pay off Twenty Trillion Dollars of Debt? Don't hurt your brain. I'll save you the trouble. It isn't. It simply isn't.
And that's just the loans that we pay daily interest on, to China. It doesn't take into account, the unfunded liabilities that we are responsible for, like Social Security, and Medicare and Food Stamps and Welfare and Government Housing, for those of us who don't want to work for a living.
When you add all those things into the equation, our actual debt is something close to ONE HUNDRED TRILLION DOLLARS.
If I owed even a tenth of that amount of money, I would just shoot myself in the head, and get it over with.
And yet, this maniac, who pretends the title of President, wants to raise the debt ceiling, yet again.
We should rename this President. Instead of Barack Hussein Obama, we should name him, Barack, Man Gone Crazy, Obama.
Except he isn't really crazy, is he? No, he isn't, really. He knows exactly what he is doing.
He has a plan, and it's working like clockwork.
He walks right down the middle of the street, like he's God.
His second term will take us away from the dream. Away from what our Founders envisioned.
Obama's vision is a new world order. A world government. And he will have a prominent role.
We will not be governed by those we elect to govern us. We will instead, be governed by those who seek to control the way we live.
Obama will see this through, if you allow him to do it. Make no mistake. This is his plan. He believes he has the mandate to do it.
Under the Law/Constitution yes, I'm sure. Under this Government who can be sure of anything. As the Rep said at a Town Hall meeting (can't remember his name, The Government does whatever it damn well pleases. All Tax Bills are supposed to be initiated in the House and the Senate has initiated at least two as I said above and nobody even blinks. It called the Budget. You remember the Budget that the Senate has not passed one in what soon will be four years.
I haven't read your comments yet. I just got home. When I turned on the Mac, first thing I saw was Mark Levin. Thank God we have this man.
Rush and Hannity are on the airwaves all day long, and they do play their role in all of this. They do their job, of exposing this Liberal/Criminal activity that takes place every day in America. God bless them, for doing what they do.
But Mark is special. He gets his teeth into it. He says what others are afraid to say. That's what makes him different.
OK - silly question time...........
What if The Bamster does bypass congress and raises the debt ceiling?
WHO WILL STOP HIM?
I say he IS going to DICTATE - and he will GET AWAY WITH IT.
It's going to be up to us. We'll have to put Congress's feet to the fire. Tell them that we are going to hold them responsible if Obama does this and is not answered with BOTH a lawsuit and IMPEACHMENT.
They should get articles ready now. And let anyone who doesn't vote for conviction answer why Obama is beyond the law and above the Constitution.
syvyn11, I welcome your fervor. We can use any energy you can muster, to fight what is against us. But there is no such thing, as putting Congress's feet to the fire.
Because Congress doesn't represent you in the first place. They haven't for a long time. Congress represents Congress. And the companies and industries who give them money. Lots of money.
We have a corrupt government. Get used to it. If our government was not corrupt, this man would not be our President.
The first step in solving a problem, is knowing what that problem is, in the first place.
Most people in America haven't yet reached that level.
Obama is hoping they won't reach it anytime soon.
Nobody will!!!
His father was a Kenyan - and no Repub pointed to that obvious fact, known to millions, that, according to the Constitution of United States, son of a Kenyan man cannot be elected as the President.
Still not too late.....
Hey, GOP!!! STILL NOT TOO LATE!!!
Even without his actions on the debt ceiling obama deserves to be impeached and imprisoned for this unconstitutional acts of treason against our country and the American people.
Obama should be impeached and tried for treason, but who will step up and see it is done? Is there no Republican who has the courage? I keep asking the same question over and over again without an answer. Lord, please raise up someone with the courage and wherewithal to accomplish what must be done.
Talk about "fundamentally transforming" America.
Obama is lying his butt off (again) and using nothing but blame and scare tactics. And the media is flying cover for him again.
This man-child is the biggest phony loser I have ever seen in public office. Pathetic.
I'm with you PFFV! I am furious over the stuff this guy has gotten away with. He is so arrogant, nose in the air as he says he will just go ahead and use executive powers. He also said we need to stop our way of thinking we should "negotiate" everything. That is indeed a dictatorship mindset. I am sick to my stomach about him. I believe he is a muslim, a traitor, a liar - he is on the other side for God sake...he is deliberately trying to destroy our country and the constitution. And aren't we all still waiting to see what is going on with the Benghazi issue??? So many things that this POTUS has done...he simply has to GO!
Mark isn't the only one. GOP Rep Stockman threatens impeachment if Obama uses executive order for gun control.
If Congress allows King Obama to go unilateral on this issue, or any other issue they will amount to nothing more than Obama's bitches. Time to stand for something or come home and stay home.
How do I call in to the Show
Does anyone have his number??

The problem is the REPUBLICAN establishment, which are NOT conservatives and have an innate need to be LOVED by the media. They are liberal in ideology. You notice every time obama states anything about republicans, it is about SOME, i.e. the conservatives that get elected on the Republican Ticket, it is not the normal republican.
And that would be #25 on the list of impeachable/treasonous offenses that I can pull off the top of my head.
I've been saying IMPEACH the SOB since he missed his first budget deadline. Unfortunately the elile REPs will roll over for him. They should all be impeached.
The first affirmative action President has gotten away with murder (literally) - Fast and Furious and Benghazi-Gate were directly to blame for Americans deaths! Our politicians will do nothing unless we get in an uproar unfortunately. I guess the Attorney General Eric Holder was right in this respect? "On the issue of race our nation is a bunch of cowards" As much as I hate the man he may be spot on here. There is only one distinguishing difference between Obama and all the Presidents before him and that is his appearance of being a black man. No one wants to be called a racist even if they are 100% correct! I pray someone will step up and call this Anti-American pile of crap out for the.evil bastard that we all know he is!
Finally I hear the words coming out of Mark Levin's mouth Impeached, those are words I have being waiting to hear ever since his immigration decision to grant illegals papers. F.I.N.A.L.L.Y
The Impeachment Process
In the House of Representatives
The House Judiciary Committee decides whether or not to proceed with impeachment. If they do...
The Chairman of the Judiciary Committee will propose a Resolution calling for the Judiciary Committee to begin a formal inquiry into the issue of impeachment.
Based on their inquiry, the Judiciary Committee will send another Resolution to the full House stating that impeachment is warranted and why (the Articles of Impeachment), or that impeachment is not called for.
The Full House (probably operating under special floor rules set by the House Rules Committee) will debate and vote on each Article of Impeachment.
Should any one of the Articles of Impeachment be approved by a simple majority vote, the President will be "impeached." However, being impeached is sort of like being indicted of a crime. There still has to be a trial, which is where the US Senate comes in.
http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/thepresidentandcabinet/a/impeachment.htm
IMHO, it would make an excellent campaign issue for the 2014 elections, especially for the Senate, that impeachment procedures have been inaugurated, that the House is impeaching the POS - all in the public eye -, thus: 'if you want this to go ahead, get rid of the dem Senators'.
I think what you have touched on, williamm, is that the process of impeachment is complicated, and not something to taken lightly.
I think Obama has proven himself to be two things. The first, not deserving or qualified for the Office. The second, smart enough to defeat anyone accusing him of that very thing. That is what Chicago taught him.
He simply took what he learned in Chicago, to the White House.
And he is sleeping every night in the White House bedroom, with his fat wife who hates America, and there is not a damned thing you can do about it.
Interesting perspective Nuke. Doesn't take you a second to respond, and your comments always hit home.
You have hit upon a weakness in his armor (rusty as it is) - the media. If and when the media start to turn on him, his entire corrupt administration will begin to collapse like a house of cards. I think we should key on the media (first exposing the LameStream for the frauds they are and, at the same time, putting forth the new, alternate media).
It won't take much. We have been doing it for some time now and I'm seeing some cracks in their dike. Little by little, journalists and reporters are starting to break away from the mold. Lack of subscriptions, lack of hits on their websites, calls to their sponsors will all take their toll.
Eventually, they will start jumping ship like the rats they all are.
You my friend get 10000000 likes for your comment, and your point is quite valid, any one of us regular joe's would make this imbecile look like a kid, and what amazes me to this day is during the elections how easy wouldve been for Romney to defeat Obama if he had not been afraid, what we need in our side is a good pair of balls and common sense.
As you point out, proudhispanic, our position in all of this is weak, precisely for the reason you allude to. We have no real leadership in the Republican Party.
Any ordinary American, could stand up to Obama and all of his madness, and make him look like the Idiot he is.
Joe, the Plumber, did it, and it took the Obama campaign weeks to recover from that incident. An ordinary American, shut down his campaign, and his big mouth, for several weeks, until the compliant media helped him get out of it.
Politics in this country, is no longer based on principles. It hasn't been, for a long time.
What it is based upon, is the stuff you can find in any barnyard in America.
I leave the rest, to your imagination.
Yes it is a complicated proccess, but it should be brought up if only to bring attention to a problem that the uninformed voters that reelected this creep dont know, and are not realizing what this power grab means for them. Bullies like Obama are cowards and I believe that if there is threat he will do what all cowards do and that is back down, unfortunately for us there isnt a viable opposition in our side, with Mark Levin bringing this issue, it shows you how much our side lacks leadership that a radio host is the only one that brings it up, when in fact it should be somebody in the senate, or congress, or at least someone with stature.
