During his segment on the historic Dave Brat win over Eric Cantor, Rush made the same mistake many in the GOP have made discussing an impeachment of Obama.
He says it’s a Democrat Senate, so impeachment isn’t possible. He went on to say there’s no way to challenge Senators, to get rid of them during an impeachment.
We don’t make this claim lightly…Rush is wrong.
37 Democrat Senators still in that body pushed Obamacare onto the American people and many voiced the same lie Obama did: “If you like your health plan you can keep it.”
They were at least co-conspirators…and at worst, perpetrators of the fraud.
Senators can be impeached – they are not privileged from arrest if a felony has been committed, and fraud (‘if you like your health plan you can keep your plan’) is a felony.
(And millions of Americans – who lost or will lose their health plan – are the proof.)
They knew it was a lie and, as a group, along with Obama, can be impeached for fraud (Art. 1, sect. 6), or for ‘high Crimes and Misdemeanors’ (Art. 2, sect. 4).
Taking those 37 Democrat Senate co-conspirators out of the equation, swings the power of the Senate to the Republicans…
…because an impeached Senator cannot sit in judgment on himself.
If there’s a hole in this logic, it’s funny no one has pointed it out.
It doesn’t matter anyway…congressional Republicans don’t have the stomach for it.
