Impeachment of Obama is not going to happen, and I am not convinced it would be a good idea in any case. If that sinkhole that swallowed the 'Vettes had been an answer to my prayer, it would have opened under Washington, D.C., and would have been much larger. (See Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.) I don't suppose that will happen, either. We ought to just ignore the thug and go on about our business. We also ought to stop calling these government gangsters "liberals" or "progressives". They are statists and collectivists and fascists. Again, probably not going to happen.
However, Jeffrey Lord writing in the Spectator offers what he thinks are some hopeful historic signs, and says: If American history teaches anything, it is that the warning to be
“careful what you wish for” is one of the nation’s hard truths.
Lord cites the precedent set during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings when Democrats opposed to Thomas' SCOTUS appointment found Anita Hill and insisted that "women tell the truth." The idea rather backfired on them during the Clinton years when women telling the truth became "bimbo eruptions".
Read the whole thing, but, in brief, Lord suggests that a future Republican president might use the "Obama Precedent" of ruling by fiat to dismantle cherished leftist legislative monuments.
Aside from the fact that I have my doubts there will ever be another Republican president (the giant sinkhole may have a greater likelihood), no Republican would ever get away with the kind of blatant side-stepping of Congress for which Obama is lauded by his petty little followers.
