This just doesn't matter. It's not going to happen. It's just grandstanding. How wonderful this guy is to tell us what we want to hear, and ultimately accomplish nothing.

I don't disagree, but it's better than the other republicans that are sitting there doing squat. He's at least standing up and making some noise.
Re: Metcalf Calls for Wolf's Resignation
My republican state rep is useless as fuck. Everything I call him about he doesn*t do shit.
Re: Metcalf Calls for Wolf's Resignation
Wolf is there to the end, he has the backing and the pay from billionaire socialists and the communist teacher union. They all pay him to keep the state closed.
Re: Metcalf Calls for Wolf's Resignation
Good to see some fire from the Republicans in this state.

Standing up and making noise has done TWO things for us... Jack and shit. This is nothing more than political saber rattling and I don't believe the PA GOP to have any sort of a spine to even ATTEMPT to get this done. I could be wrong and HOPE I am wrong, but I doubt it. We're fucked, pure and simple. Wolf has the PA Supreme Court in his pocket and they have affirmed his latest temper tantrum to them about ending the emergency declaration. He doesn't give two shits about anyone not with the letter D before their party.
He has pretty much thumbed his nose at E V E R Y single Republican law maker and constituent in this Commonwealth. He Does. Not. Care. The lackluster effort from the general assembly has made this shit head and his health secretary act like they can do whatever they goddamn please, even without consulting the general assembly. Never did I think I would see this at this point in my lifetime. We are in for some EXTREMELY trying times ahead, and the GOP hasn't done fuck all about it, except "make noise." :rolleyes::mad:
Re: Metcalf Calls for Wolf's Resignation
Just came in to share that letter that I just read in email. Good for him for leading the charge. Someone HAD to.
Here's the Impeachment bill:

House of Representatives
Session of 2019 - 2020 Regular Session
MEMORANDUM
Posted: May 15, 2020 09:38 AM
From: Representative Daryl D. Metcalfe
To: All House members
Subject: Governor Wolf Impeachment Resolution
Gov. Wolf*s orders in response to the COVID-19 outbreak have violated a number of our God-given rights affirmed in the United States Constitution. In particular, his order mandating the closure of physical locations of all businesses that he has deemed *non-life sustaining* has violated our citizens* rights in many devastating ways.
His order constitutes a taking of property from business owners without just compensation. The lack of due process and judicial review permitted under his order also violates the Constitution. In addition, this order coupled with the stay-at-home order, has violated our rights to free speech and assembly.
Another troubling aspect of his mandates is the utter lack of transparency demonstrated by the administration during this time, as agencies under his control have stopped responding to requests for records and his office has refused to provide vital information. The waiver process established under the Department of Community and Economic Development resulted in arbitrary and capricious decisions about which businesses may stay open. The public, press and General Assembly all have the right to know about these decisions and how they have been made. While the Wolf administration has finally slowly begun to release some of the relevant information regarding which businesses received waivers, they have yet to release any information about how or why these decisions were made. His delays and obfuscation have been, and continue to be, entirely unacceptable.
His failure to adequately administer our unemployment compensation system has made it so that countless Pennsylvanians who have recently become unemployed due to his orders have been unable to collect the benefits they require to meet their basic needs.
His focus on restraining business is particularly disturbing, as the majority of deaths due to the pandemic have been residents of long-term care facilities. The governor should have focused his attention there, but he has entirely failed to implement a comprehensive state plan to protect our most vulnerable citizens who reside in nursing homes, which have had inadequate supplies of Personal Protective Equipment and testing kits throughout the outbreak.
As Gov. Wolf has violated so many of our fundamental rights as citizens of the Commonwealth, I will be introducing a resolution impeaching the governor and exhibiting Articles of Impeachment to the Senate. His actions plainly constitute the misbehavior in office required for his impeachment under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
While these are certainly challenging times, Gov. Wolf must be held accountable for his actions that have harmed so many of our citizens and violated so many of our rights. No individual or office is above the law.
Please join me in co-sponsoring this important legislation. If you have any questions, please contact Pam Neugard at pneugard@pahousegop.com or 717-783-1707.
Re: Metcalf Calls for Wolf's Resignation
Wolf will give up his title of Queen of PA when his term is over & not before. In the mean time, he'll be laughing his ass off with each new SOE or mandate he signs. This is a challenge to him now. Just ask those in Lebanon County.
