"So, naturally, the second thing the new Republican majority will do is attempt to impeach the president.
First theyll threaten Obama with it, better bow down, admit defeat, boy, or else well do it. We will. We mean it.
Forgetting, of course, that if the last five years have proven anything its that Obama isnt much intimidated by conservative threats.
But Republicans, drunk with their new found power and utterly oblivious to the lessons of history will bluster and beat their fleshy chests and threaten impeachment based solely on the idea that being black and liberal in the White House constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors. Saner heads among them will caution that they dont have a case, Constitution-wise, and perhaps sanity will even prevail. Perhaps. But more likely, when the Republican congress figures out that they actually cant push Obama around, that those checks and balances go both ways, well, then likely theyll work themselves up into a suicidal frenzy of blood-maddened rage, and maybe, just maybe, they even go through with it.

Because thats their whole agenda. Repeal the ACA. Impeach Obama. And if that fails, as it inevitably must, then allow nothing to happen. Thats it. Thats all theyve got. If you want to see what a Republican led majority looks like, look to the House. They cant even agree on the stuff they agree on.
