Both Maladministration And Attempting To Subvert The Constitution Are Impeachable

Similarly, the House Judiciary Committee, assessing impeachment in the aftermath of Watergate, noted that to Blackstone, “high misdemeanors” was a constitutional term of art that encompassed “maladministration”—again, an obviously political rather than judicial expression. George Mason had attempted at Philadelphia to make maladministration explicitly impeachable; Madison objected on grounds of vagueness; yet, the Judiciary Committee reports, Mason complained in turn that limiting the device to bribery and treason “would ‘not reach many great and dangerous offences’ including ‘[a]ttempts to subvert the Constitution.” “High crimes and misdemeanors” was the resulting compromise, and it was understood to incorporate such attempts.Read: Defining Impeachment Up

Non-liberal Thought Will Be Supressed
If you are a conservative student, you will be forced to drop the class.
If you are a libertarian writer, you will live in fear that your publisher will find out, and that you will be black balled.
If you are a religious professor, you will live in fear that you will be forced out of the academy. You will live in fear that religious organizations will be persecuted. But you will know how to go forward, based on the history of the church.
Update: If you are a techie in Silicon Valley, you live in fear that you will be ostracized.

Profit Margins Average 7.5%
Walmart has a 3.1% profit margin. Kansas / Overland Park gets more than twice that in sales taxes. I have not mentioned property taxes or income taxes or capital gains taxes or all the other numerous taxes paid by Walmart.
Tax and spend is the definition of trickle down.

A Realistic Compromise?
Is ditching affirmative action in exchange for true immigration reform a viable political compromise? Doubtful. Would Obama accept such a compromise? Doesn't sound like something he would accept at all. Could Obama pull it off? No. Obama can't work with Republicans or Democrats - except Valerie Jarrett and MIchelle Obama.

Obamacare Purgatory
Obamacare ruined my employers health care plan. Now I have out of state strangers (not from her doctor's office) wanting to quiz my 16 year old daughter about her health care.
