Surprise Senate Exit by Jim DeMint

My article is in today's FrontPage Magazine:


Surprise Senate Exit by Jim DeMint


By Matthew Vadum


One of President Obama’s most outspoken critics is quitting the U.S. Senate to take over the reins at the Heritage Foundation, the nation’s preeminent conservative think tank.

As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, Tea Party movement-supported Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said he is leaving public office in order to help the conservative movement regain the upper hand in the war of ideas. Replacing Heritage co-founder Ed Feulner, DeMint expects to take over as president at Heritage early next year.

“This is an urgent time because we saw in the last election we were not able to communicate conservative ideas that win elections,” said DeMint, a market researcher before he entered public life.

“This really gets my blood going again thinking about the possibilities. This is the time to elevate the conservative cause.”

Congressman Tim Scott: Obama Bypassing Congress on Debt Ceiling is "Impeachable Act"

If President Obama unilaterally raises the nation's debt ceiling without the consent of Congress, it would be an "impeachable act," Congressman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told his constituents.

(Incidentally, I said the same thing in this space two days ago.)


Scott said
This president is looking to usurp congressional oversight to find a way to get it done without us. My position is that is an impeachable act from my perspective. There's lots of things people say, 'Are you going to impeach the president over that?' - No. But this? This is catastrophic. This jeopardizes the credibility of our nation if one man can usurp the entire system set up by our Founding Fathers over something this significant.
The congressman seemed to suggest a constitutional crisis was in the offing.

"I think we'll find ourselves in the biggest war of all time if he does that or if he even tries to do that ... there will be a revolt among the American people ..."

To community organizers like President Obama the Constitution is an agglomeration of technicalities that needs to be overcome in order to achieve so-called social justice.

America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.
