2008 GWB vs. 2015 BHO Impeachment Actions

It will not be surprising that there will not be a peep or whisper from any mainstream media liberals that President Obama has ever committed any impeachable offenses, much less than ever going forward with a loud brouhaha about any signed articles of impeachment against Obama like what was passed in the House against President George W. Bush. The so-called charges detailed in the G.W. Bush impeachment resolution had indicated an unprecedented abuse of his executive power to sell the war in Iraq to the American people. So after all of the screaming in the end-game scenario for G.W. Bush as a shameless lame duck President, he left public office rendering those impeachment efforts moot. The public spectacles, however, were created.

President B.H. Obama also leaves as lame duck President, but with no such taint of impeachment resolutions about his Presidential Order on immigration or loud media uproar about his shamelessness since the liberal congress will do nothing and the silent press were complicit with President Obama. The public spectacular lies, however, will be created. 

Background Info: Jonathan Turley in 2007 was a frequent on-air legal analyst contributor to the uber-liberal Keith Oberman host on his 'Countdown' show on the left-wing Air-America channel. Both the 'Countdown' show which is now defunct and the Air-America channel struggled due to low viewer ratings which went off the air in January 2010. 

Bio: Professor Jonathan Turley is a nationally recognized legal scholar who has written extensively in areas ranging from constitutional law to legal theory to tort law. He has written over three dozen academic articles that have appeared in a variety of leading law journals at Cornell, Duke, Georgetown, Harvard, Northwestern, University of Chicago, and other schools.

Jonathan Turley has historically picked upon the liberal vanguards of societal injustice, progressive political causes and ideas to champion. However, many of his personal views align with the ACLU, American Civil Liberties Union, which further enable political debate on whether those views really value our core basic Constitutional principles or open them up to Supreme Court Judicial review to revise the Constitutional Laws as written. It is this revisionist interpretation that is undermining our Republic today while turning over power to the Federal government instead of the people.

An interesting and informative 'rear-view mirror' glance back to the Jonathan Turley blog site in an October 2007 visitor question has an eye-opening response from Jonathan Turley.

Dear Mr. Turley,

PLEASE help me!!

Knowing the Constitution and Bill of Rights as well as you do, would you say that Bush and/or Cheney have violated the Constitution and/or Bill of Rights enough to be impeached?

My congressman, Robert Wexler, (D-FL U.S. Rep.) says no. If he is mistaken, I would like to give him a list of impeachable offenses if I could. Please help me to compile such a list.

Respectfully,
JBR

Dear Mr. Roth,

In my view, President Bush clearly committed an impeachable offense in ordering the domestic surveillance program which is a federal crime.

The Democrats, however, allowed the law to be extended in one of the most bizarre decisions in decades. The White House immediately claimed that the move established its legality. There are a variety of alleged violations of law but little serious effort in Congress to force disclosure of the information. Years ago, Democratic leadership promised not to allow impeachment investigations let alone proceedings.

Ex Post Facto Info: 

On June 10, 2008 U.S. Rep. Wexler co-sponsored and signed Dennis Kucinich's articles of impeachment for George W. Bush. He referred to the Congressional Oath of Office saying it was the duty of Congress to act, and stated: "President Bush deliberately created a massive propaganda campaign to sell the war in Iraq to the American people and the charges detailed in this impeachment resolution indicate an unprecedented abuse of executive power."

The House voted 251 to 166 to refer the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee on July 25, 2008, where no further action was taken on it. Bush's presidency ended on January 20, 2009, with the completion of his second term in office, rendering impeachment efforts moot.
