The Case for Impeachment: Why Barack Hussein Obama Should be Impeached to Save America" by Steven Baldwin covers all of these issues and more in making its arguments.
"This is the beginning of the end for the United States unless the people exercise their precious remaining liberties and stand and demand that their elected representatives impeach this president before further mortal damage is inflicted upon America," the report concludes.
Before you snicker at this being from Steven Baldwin and the Western Journalism Center - "Making drunks on a street corner look rational since 1991!" - be aware that there is no source too discredited, no evidence too thin, no statement too extreme or theory too outlandish for A) The contemporary GOP to embrace and act upon it and B) The US media to thoughtfully purse their lips and nod along, noting that one time someone compared Bush to Hitler.
So here's my prediction: Darrell Issa (R-CA) already has articles of impeachment drawn up. If the GOP takes the House I'll give them a week before they start having hearings on impeachment with a vote soon after. If they take both houses of Congress, they'll impeach and convict Obama and Biden, giving us President Boehner before the summer recess.
What would be the downside? What price would they pay? And what possible evidence is there to suggest that the current GOP is not so thoroughly extreme, not so completely out of their minds that they wouldn't go through with this?
