Graham warns of Republican impeachment push over Gitmo
http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/208264-gop-senator-obama-faces-impeachment-push-if-more-prisoners-leave-gitmo

Quote
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned Wednesday that Republican lawmakers would call for President Obama’s impeachment if he released more prisoners from Guantanamo Bay without congressional approval.

Republicans worry Obama may try to shut down the prison camp unilaterally after congressional opposition has repeatedly stymied efforts to pass legislation to close it.

“It’s going to be impossible for them to flow prisoners out of Gitmo now without a huge backlash,” Graham said. “There will be people on our side calling for his impeachment if he did that.”

How about now.

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Faithless Execution: Building the Political Case for Obama's Impeachment by Andrew McCarthy (Jun 3, 2014)

http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=faithless+execution&tag=mh0b-20&index=stripbooks&hvadid=4164410097&ref=pd_sl_5tff5dm6f1_ee

Quote
It is a straightforward matter to establish that President Obama has committed “high crimes and misdemeanors,” a term signifying maladministration and abuses of power by holders of high public trust. But making the legal case is insufficient for successful impeachment, leading to removal from office. Impeachment is a political matter and hinges on public opinion.

In Faithless Execution, McCarthy weighs the political dynamics as he builds a case, assembling a litany of abuses that add up to one overarching offense: the president’s willful violation of his solemn oath to execute the laws faithfully. The “fundamental transformation” he promised involves concentrating power into his own hands by flouting law—statutes, judicial rulings, the Constitution itself—and essentially daring the other branches of government to stop him. McCarthy contends that our elected representative are duty-bound to take up the dare.

The problem with impeaching him is that is exactly what he wants to happen.  You impeach the first Black President (ok really the second one) and you galvanize the last large block of voters he has left.

Not to mention there is no guarentee that with a GOP majority in the Senate you'd get 2/3rd's of them that would convict.

Then you'd have the media trashing the GOP (again) about a witch hunt just like they did with the Clinton impeachment.

Erick Erickson made the same argument the other day. There is some validity to that thought. He followed up by saying there needs to be a massive Irancontra style investigation.
