Recently we had a little of what I think you could call comic relief, and right there in the House of Representative. And who do we have to thank for that? Why, none other Rep. Hank Johnson, Democrat from Georgia. It all came about when he came running to the defense of Barry during a House Armed Services Committee (HASC) hearing by claiming the House lawsuit is nothing short of "a coup". Now for anyone unfamiliar with old Hank, listening to him going off on how this lawsuit is some sort of a coup, should tell you pretty much all you need to, or would ever want to, know about this dumbass.
The lawsuit to which old Hank was referring is the one which alleges that Barry’s many executive orders, affecting a number of different areas, are unlawful for the very simply reason that they exceed the powers of his office. This lawsuit focuses primarily on the executive orders involving the many changes that Barry has essentially made unilaterally to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka Obamacare, changes that were essentially equivalent to rewriting the law, which does not fall under the Executive Branch. Now you would think that Barry, having been a one-time ‘senior lecturer’ on the Constitution, would know that. But apparently not!
Neither, apparently, does the esteemed Mr. Johnson, nor any other Democrat understand that fact. So it was then that during the committee hearing just last week that old Hank said, "That’s what he’s going to be sued for." And he went on to say, "But the overall narrative that is being created is - that the president is lawless and he doesn’t abide by the rule of law, he’s a socialist, he’s not a Christian, he’s not one of us - lets get rid of him. So it’s a coup." So, again, I’m not sure how well-versed old Hank is when it comes to knowing a thing or two about the Constitution, but apparently he doesn’t know any more about it than Barry does.
Hank made his comments during committee hearings the topic of which was whether Barry & Co. actually violated the 30-day notice requirement to Congress on prisoner exchanges, when transferring five of the worst Taliban prisoners held at Gitmo, in exchange for one traitor, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. He claimed the lawsuit and a resolution condemning the violation of the Congressional notice requirement were both part of a movement to impeach Barry. The HASC later passed a bipartisan resolution condemning Barry's failure to comply with the lawful statutory requirement of Congressional notification prior to the release of detainees from Gitmo.
I’m curious about how it is that anyone can take this moron seriously. Apparently this imbecile has been the guy who the voters of Georgia's 4th congressional district have been sending off to Washington going all the way back to 2007. And I find it pretty hard to believe that this is the guy is the best they can do when deciding who it is that they wish to represent them in Washington. You know, in a weird kinda way, I almost feel sorry for them. But then I come to my senses and realize that if most of the folks in his District are Democrats, then there’s no need to feel sorry or to even be surprised that he’s the loser they have continued to re-elect.
