The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?

by Thom Hartmann

January 30, 2012

Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."

What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.

Norquist is under the impression that the ONLY thing preventing the Republicans from impeaching Obama is that they do not have enough votes. Apparently he's not aware that there's that little thing called the Constitution that spells out the grounds for impeachment and nowhere does it state that one of those would be when the other side thinks it has enough votes to try.
