In the same interview where Michele Bachmann weighed in on Miley Cyrus spoofing her, the Republican congresswoman also had some tough words for President Obama, even going so far as to suggest impeachment should be on the table.

She told Rusty Humphries in a conference call sponsored by TeaParty.net on Tuesday that “we can have an impeachment hearing in the house” because she believes Obama “has committed impeachable offenses.” Removing Obama from office is off the table, though, because the Senate determines that action and the Democrats currently hold it.

Bachmann bashed Obama’s “thuggery,” and at another point said the fight over Obamacare isn’t just that, it’s a battle for “whether or not we will hold onto a constitutional republic.”

“I want the Tea Party to know they made a profound difference and what they’re fighting for is to see if we’re actually going to be a constitutional republic or if we’re going to be totally devolved into a dictatorship under somebody like Barack Obama.”

16. Some stuff on Bachman's law degree

Tulsa, Oklahoma - Michele Bachmann was 22 and newly married when, in the fall of 1979, she and 53 other aspiring lawyers arrived on the manicured campus of Oral Roberts University here. They were the inaugural class in an unusual educational experiment: a law school rooted in charismatic Christian belief.

“We hope to guide our students to a deeper understanding of their spiritual gifts and of their place in God’s kingdom,” the school’s dean, Charles Kothe, wrote in the first edition of its law review, The Journal of Christian Jurisprudence. The aim, he said, was to train the next generation of legal minds to “integrate their Christian faith into their chosen profession,” and to “restore law to its historic roots in the Bible.”

Today, as a Republican congresswoman from Minnesota seeking her party’s nomination for president, Mrs. Bachmann often talks of her work as a lawyer, describing herself as a “former federal tax litigation attorney,” though not identifying her employer as the Internal Revenue Service. She points to her master’s degree from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, from a nine-month program in tax law.

But the far more formative experience was one she rarely discusses in front of secular audiences: the legal education she received at Oral Roberts University, founded by the Christian televangelist and Pentecostal faith healer of that name. It was, one fellow student recalls, a “Petri dish of conservatism and Judeo-Christian thought.”

It took Mrs. Bachmann seven years to graduate; she took a four-year hiatus that began before the birth of her first child. And the school itself was short-lived; it ran out of money and closed in 1986. The future congresswoman’s tenure spanned its entire existence, a time of great ferment among Christian conservatives who, buoyed by the political rise of Ronald Reagan, were flexing their political muscles.

-snip-

In 1986, Mrs. Bachmann graduated from law school and passed the Minnesota bar. That spring, Oral Roberts University turned its law school over to Christian Broadcasting University, now Regent, founded by another televangelist, Pat Robertson. The law library was packed up and shipped off to the Regent campus in Virginia Beach. Mr. Titus became Regent’s founding dean.

Mrs. Bachmann went on to get her tax law certificate and join the I.R.S., for five years handling run-of-the-mill tax cases, which mostly settled out of court. She tried just two cases, including one involving a Native American who argued that treaties exempted him from paying taxes. (He lost.)

9. Sore Loserman!!!!!

You LOST, honey. GET OVER IT.

[yuiyoshida]

11. Michele!

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU...to walk up to the White House and prepare to Arrest the President. I want to see you dragged away screaming at the Secret Service.

12. So why hasn't she introduced articles of impeachment

Which the House repub leadership would bury, only pissing off the tea partiers even more.

[appleannie1]

13. And the lady in the hospital bed next to mine in the hospital believed that the little man

running around under her bed was stealing her toilet paper. Could she have been Michelle's mom? They sound a lot alike.

[pangaia]

14. Table? What table? I don't see any table.

HUH! Does she know what a table is?
Maybe she means to 'table it.' Which to a theocratic ignoramus is like we might say. fuck it. Or maybe she means the water table..which is a table that.. floats on water? but which way do the legs point? Up or down.( Or as Bucky might say, in or out?)
But she I am sure never heard of Bucky. And since the geodesic dome is made up of pentagons, it must be all about the military budget, which is still on the table with the government getting shut down.
That's how it works, you see..

17. I thought we live in a democratic republic

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Bachmann is under investigation by the FBI, FEC, and House Ethics Committee

as well as by the state of Iowa.

This is her last hurrah before she's frog-marched away.

19. Bachman and the crowd on her side is out of control. They are a loud, tiny minority.

Instead of sitting by this time, if they try impeachment, citizens should storm the House and drag every republican outside to be dressed with syrup and feathers.

[Blue Idaho]

20. Can she do that from a federal prison cell?

Just wondering...

[rurallib]

21. impeachment would be a nice followup to the wildly popular

current republican game of "shut the fucking government down."
where do they come up with all these ideas?

michele - after you throw obama out, can you bring the W man back?
