Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, warned on Tuesday that an attempt to impeach President Obama isn’t the best idea for the Republican party.
The congressman said that while he supports the lawsuit against Obama over his use of executive authority, the House should approach impeachment with “great caution and great discretion.”
He told Amherst County, Va., civic leaders at a luncheon that the public may see impeachment as a political attempt to attack an opposition president, according to the Lynchburg, Va. News & Advance.
“So just doing it for the point of doing it and then losing — because you would lose in the United States Senate where you have to have a two-thirds majority to [remove a president] — would weaken rather than strengthen the cause,” Goodlatte said.
“You risk tremendous public backlash to the system unless the public strongly supports what you want to do,” he continued. “And it still wouldn’t resolve the underlying issues we’re talking about.”
And yet, right after the 2014 mid-terms that’s actually what they’re going to do.
Goodlatte? What is that, French?
Go back to London, Frenchie!
Latte, good or bad, is a degenerate hippy liberal faggot drink. Real American Men drink good American mass market low-quality ingredient beer.
Or, you know, $350.00 per bottle French wine if a lobbyist is paying.

Oh great. Here Obama and the White House staff go talking about impeachment again.
No shit Sherlock. He must be one of the ‘smart’ Republicans…
