Impeachment Fever!

++With President Obama overseas at the G-20 Summit, the GOP rightwing has whipped up the calls for impeachment of the war-time president.

++This time it isn't Benghazi,the Fast and Furious,or the IRS' concerns about the Tea Party. No,it's the possibility that President Obama will issue executive orders on immigration. This time they think they have a real winner. Except exit polls at the mid-term indicate that even rank and file Republicans agree with President Obama that the immigration system needs to be fixed. 

++Matt Salmon,Rep. King,and even Charles Krauthammer have weighed in, claiming the executive orders are impeachable offenses.

++This is interesting because Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush all used executive orders on immigration matters. Now the GOP is leaping to threaten all sorts of things to Obama.

++With the theme of wanting to govern, John Boehner is now saying a government shutdown is now on the table. McConnell and Boehner want to punish Obama for this, primarily by offering to pass a short term funding bill and not a long-term budget through 2015.

++Whether either man can control their far-right caucuses remains to be seen. Boehner has tried to defuse this volcano by offering up his lawsuit, which hasn't been filed since the House approved it.
