Top GOP senator floats idea of impeaching Obama
By Steve Frank - Tue Jun 26, 2012 2:58 PM EDT.

Along with making laws by passing bills and declaring war, impeachment of the President of the United States is one of the most important functions of Congress.

And yet once again, Republicans are casually (and recklessly) floating the I-word, this time at President Barack Obama.

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), who as the Senate Minority Whip holds the second-highest position in the Republican Senate leadership, mentioned the possibility of impeaching Obama today on Bill Bennett’s radio show during a discussion about immigration.

Specifically they discussed the The Department of Homeland Security's announcement to pull back on a program known as 287(g), which allows the feds to deputize local officials to make immigration-based arrests. The move is expected to further hinder the state’s ability to enforce SB1070 following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling yesterday.

11. Hey Julian - I know what you are trying to say - but---

could you not use the R word?

I have a daughter that fits that, and it's really offensive.

Thanks - I know you didn't mean anything by it.

3. go for it, assholes

Like America hasn't forgotten how much of OUR time and OUR money you wasted going after Clinton on OUR clock.

Like O won't be ready for any shit you try to pull.

Go for it, fools. Keep being assholes while America burns.

5. They should wait until he's re-elected in a landslide....n/t

[phantom power]

6. I'm only surprised they haven't actually attempted it yet.

Oh, and thanks for embarrassing my state again, Kyl.

7. How shocked should I pretend to be?

If a republican is in the WH, never mind that republican commits war crimes, impeachment is off tabe...a democrat? What took them so long?

14. Damn straight

All the Republicans think about is how to seize and keep power.

Unfortunately I don't believe in the integrity of our voting system, so they may yet get what they want.
