RSSRINO Rep. Joe Barton Needs To Be Impeached

Rep. Joe Barton of Texas needs to be impeached for high crimes against the Constitution and attempting to introduce legislation that is beyond the authority of the Congress to introduce. This yummy brain actually wants to introduce legislation that would force the NCAA to institute a playoff system for their national championship. You have to read it to believe that someone could be this stupid and desirous of power!
WASHINGTON (AP)—Taking aim at a BCS system he said “consistently misfires,” a member of Congress planned to introduce legislation Wednesday that would force college football to adopt a playoff to determine the national champion.
Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, the ranking Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, didn’t specify what sort of playoff he wants—only that the BCS should go.
“In some years the sport’s national championship winner was left unsettled, and at least one school was left out of the many millions of dollars in revenue that accompany the title,” Barton said in a statement released ahead of the bill’s introduction. “Despite repeated efforts to improve the system, the controversy rages on.”
He said the bill—being co-sponsored by Reps. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat, and Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican—“will prohibit the marketing, promotion, and advertising of a postseason game as a ‘national championship’ football game, unless it is the result of a playoff system. Violations of the prohibition will be treated as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act as an unfair or deceptive act or practice.”
I challenge anyone, particularly this idiot who should not be allowed to remain in Congress with this stunt, to show where under Article I of the Constitution such a power is granted. Furthermore, he should be impeached for his blatant disregard for the limited authority entrusted to him as should the other two Congressmen co-sponsoring such an asinine bill.
On a brighter note, apparently all of this nation’s problems (particularly the crippling socialist policies of our government) have been solved! They must be if these retards have time to introduce this sort of tripe for consideration!
