It's our Duty to Remove the Bastards but we Can't, is that the Situation?
it was in the last century, but i remember in civics class we were taught that the founding fathers in their wisdom set it up so that if a corrupt government infested the white house, we could take it as our duty to remove them. i know i didn't dream that up.

but now apparently we can't? how'd that happen?

1. Simple
The mechanism for removing a corrupt administration lies with impeachment in Congress. Unfortunately, Congress backed this war, this corruption, this taint. And the majority of them being Republicans, they won't stop backing the Commander anytime soon.

We cannot remove this president as the founding fathers would have wanted because the mechanism for removing him is just as corrupt as he is.

4. Yeah, Morford often hits the nail on the head...
and then continues to discuss things, and wonders about them, and mentions something else only tangentially related, and writes how it is, in fact, related directly, and tries to make a case for how this effects all of us and....

King of the Run-On Sentence, that guy. But I'm just giving him shit. Love his writing.

5. they're the worst vermin ever to infest (great word mopaul) the WH and
are seemingly locked in.

All I know is our side HAS to give back twice what they get from these bastards and build public opinion outrage. Outrage is the key.

I can't analyze Constitutional considerations but do believe once the public gets sufficiently riled there's hope we can rout these filthy rodents.
