Outside the Beltway

Some are criticizing the President for not going to Paris for yesterday’s rally.

The House of Representatives has filed its lawsuit against the President. As expected, it doesn’t amount to much.

The fact that Republicans lack anything approaching a coherent immigration plan makes it hard to take their criticism of the President seriously.

The House Intelligence Committee has concluded that the conspiracy theories regarding the 9/11/2012 attack in Benghazi are not supported by the evidence. That’s unlikely to change anyone’s mind, though.

The Office of Legal Counsel told the president Wednesday he couldn’t do what he did on Thursday.

In the end, there appears to be very little, if anything, the GOP can do to stop or roll back the executive actions the President will announce Thursday evening.

Republicans don’t really have many options if the President pulls the trigger on immigration reform via executive action.

The GOP’s big wins last week seem to be just guaranteeing that this year’s battle between the Tea Party and the “establishment” will continue.

Scott Walker argues that Governors tend to make the best Presidents. He’s largely correct, but he’s not the only Republican who fits that bill.

Not unexpectedly, the Supreme Court has declined to hear a case challenging the Constitutionality of the Senate filibuster.

It’s been three months, but there’s been no action on the lawsuit that the House of Representatives said it was filing against President Obama.

An idea whose time has come? Not really.

The Obama Administration’s legal justification for war against ISIS is laughably flimsy.

As talk begins of expanding the war against ISIS into Syria, it is becoming long past time for Congress to exercise its Constitutional function.

Even with the passage of time, Watergate remains a singularly important event in American history

Americans have become deeply cynical about government. To some extent that is a good thing, but it’s reaching unhealthy levels.

For a party that says its not interested in impeachment, the GOP sure keeps bringing it up.

Your tax dollars, not at work.

It wasn’t the Democrats.

According to some reports, President Obama may be about to make an end run around Congressional inaction on immigration reform.

Republicans are dismissing talk of impeachment as a Democratic fundraising ploy, but it may be they are protesting just a bit too much.

Once again the GOP finds itself on the wrong side of public opinion.

A lot of Republicans dislike the President enough to think that he should be removed from office, but will that make impeachment more likely to happen?

Just in time for the midterms, Todd Akin is back to remind voters of the GOP’s problems with female voters.

Led by Speaker John Boehner, Republican leaders are trying to placate calls for impeachment.

What could possibly go wrong?

Republican overreach could end up helping the President and his party.

The South Dakota Republican Party has officially endorsed the impeachment of President Obama.

If President Obama does decide to use military force in Iraq, he should be required to seek Congressional approval beforehand.

Mostly because of politics, the hopes of some and fears of others will never be realized.

Good intentions and good results aside, the President’s disrespect for the Rule Of Law should concern everyone.

Looking back at the first round and forward to the second.

In her upcoming book, Hillary Clinton strikes a defiant tone against conservative’s continued interest in the Benghazi attack.

Is the GOP headed down a road that leads to yet another doomed impeachment and trial?

The GOP “establishment” keeps beating back challenges.

Today in “Dumb Things Republicans Say.”

Going after Hillary Clinton by attacking her husband won’t work.

For a year that seemed to start out so well, 2013 has been among the President’s worst of this five years he’s been in office.

Congressman Steve Stockman’s primary challenge of Senator John Cornyn could be a big deal, or, more likely, it could be a dud.

Being Speaker of the House has become much more of a difficult job than it used to be.
