I disagree. This is the first shot against the upcoming Hillary Presidency.

Republicans have been just fine and dandy peachy-keen in support of Executive actions like the record-stetting amount under GW Bush. The thought that a Republican President would be able to use these Executive orders just makes them all runny-gooey inside with glee.

However, the writing is on the wall that we are likely to in for 8 years of Hillary Clinton. This is enough to cause a coronary amongst the right wing think tanks. This would be a solid 16 years of Democratic Executives. If they can get a judicial intervention reigning in these Executive Orders then they can thwart a lot of any programs and efforts under President Hillary Clinton. Rest assured, this latest threat is not aimed at Obama, but at Hillary. Obama is just the convenient instant boogeyman to rile up the hard right in support of this effort. And after Hillary’s 8 years, a possible continuation of Democrats occupying the White House as the 25% hard right wing in this country and their elected Congress scares the bejeezus out of the rest of us.

I thought you couldn’t sue a sitting president for his actions in office? Of course, I could be totally wrong, but this smacks of grandstanding to me.

I thought the first step was Obama getting elected.

It’s only a matter of time now before the wingnuts realize there are no legal ways to get Obama out of office before his term expires. Now that another Dem President is an almost certainty they’ll decide to go with the illegal ones.

Bingo. Grandstanding to recoup favor with the Tea partier types just disaffected by the establishment win in MS.

Oh, I think if the GOP wins the Senate, they will be under tremendous pressure to impeach the President. They’ve spent the last 5 and a half years railing about an out of control president, a runaway Federal government, ginning up every pseudoscandal, and basically have done everything in their cynical political playbook to feed the monster of the rabid, looney section of their base,

It will be very hard to say “No” to its demands to “restore the Republic.”
