The perjury is that he lied under oath. If it was an unfair question he should have objected and refused to answer. That being said, IMO he shouldn't have been impeached.

And actually in some states it is illegal to commit adultery, although it's not a federal law, just thought I'd throw that tid-bit out there.

I never said he didn't commit perjury.. But he should have never been asked the question.. Yes.. He should have chosen not to answer.. I agree.. He shouldn't have been impeached..

Who knows.. Had the republicans not been so obsessed with the presidents sex life.. We might have got Bin Laden during the Clinton administration and avoided 9/11 all together.. This is speculation of course.. But I thought I would throw that out there..

I doubt seriously the Radical Liberals in the Senate would never convict Obama ans a single charge would not be enough to oust him, however it might shut down some of his arrogance.


Obama doesn't obey the the Constitution or the Laws on the books, let alone the War Powers Act.

Didnt Dennis Kucinich call for his impeachment already?
 
Yes i would...
Why because its not our war and he is violating the law...
 
Isn't it interesting that Liberals don't give a damn about the Constitution or the Nations laws if it's one of theirs who break them, but for the biggest part of 5 or 7 years they would carry signs showing President Bush as a monkey, Hitler, saying hang Bush.

Someone asks a question about Obama clearly violating the War Powers Act and they are suddenly appalled at the question.

The Liberals turn to hate and name calling, accusations of racism when the facts always show the Liberals are the ones behind the intolerance, the hate and the racism.

Here is the definition of War: 1. a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air. 2. a state or period of armed hostility or active military operations.

For Obama to claim this is not a war while we are bombing locations and killing people in another country is ludicrous. It's almost Like Clinton saying:
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Clear as mud.

Perjury is a felony. This is why he was impeached.

But he should have never been asked the question
Click to expand...
In the context it was asked, the question was perfectly legitimate.
Do you really thnk he would have answered it if he thought it was not?

He shouldn't have been impeached.

Perjury is a felony - a high crime and misdemeanor.

Had the republicans not been so obsessed with the presidents sex life...

This is a lie; Clinton was impeached for breaking the law.

Right on, and why didn't we go to as much trouble about questioning politicians for leading 4,000 of our soldiers to their deaths under false pretenses as we did about a blowjob?

Maybe something called a lack of proof.

I don't think it's clear that Obama has "willingly and wantonly violate[d] the WPA." There are certain terms and phrases that are not defined and, most likely, have not been defined.
I am quite willing for Congress or the Supreme court to take the case to establish those definitions. But as of yet, I would say that it's merely possible that such a violation has taken place.

W/o knowing what exactly our guys are doing over there and w/o knowing what exactly certain phrases in the resolution mean, I don't think it can be determined. The info about what are guys are doing can prob'ly be found via the interwebz, but the interpretation of the phrases will take Congress of the SC.

Because there are a good many people (apparently including you) who do not believe he's violated the law at all, and impeachment of the President of the United States should not be done lightly. Furthermore, he can make a legal case that he's following the law. It's a bull**** case, to be sure, but that's pretty standard in politics: The president interprets the law in the way most favorable to himself, his solicitor-general creates the legal arguments to justify it, and the court either buys it or they order him to stop. That's all that is necessary here; the stuff about impeachment is just partisan nonsense.

The questions presumes that he did violate it, not necessarily that he has violated it as of this moment.

I agree... I simply have a hard time understanding how the proposed violation is something "light".

Furthermore, he can make a legal case that he's following the law.

Yes... and if he violates that order to stop, you have said, then you'd consider impeachment as he would be in contempt of court.
But... by willfully violating the law itself, he's already in contept of the law.
Contempt of court is impeachable, contempt of the law is not? The difference is...?
Rememeber that the President is, among other things, charged with faithfully executing the laws passed by Congress; wilfully violating the law is a willfull vioation of the oath to that effect.

We had plenty of proof, we just had no one with the balls to investigate. After all, what are the unnecessary deaths of thousands compared to the significance of a blowjob? :sun

I support impeachment for any president who does not follow the law but, sadly it will never happen.
Obama, Bush Jr., Clinton, Bush Sr. Reagan, etc have all not followed the law but, the dog and pony show continues.
