Those following the Obama Immigration Executive Action legal battles will note yesterday Congressman Young was asking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Saldana the exact same point outlined in Judge Hanens rebuke of the White House.
So yesterday ICE Director Saldana is on Capitol Hill answering questions when Republican David Young asks Mrs. Saldana about the conflict between the law, and the rules imposed by President Obama that force border patrol agents to: a.) break the law, or b.) break Obamas executive action rules.
How Saldana replies is, well, JAW DROPPING.

Immigration Customs Enforcement Director Sarah R. Saldana Tells Congressman: We Follow Obama Rules, Not The Law
then arrest them for not following the law...

Elections alone have not, and cannot cure what ails our once republic.
Yet some conservatives tell us to fear an Article V convention to propose amendments to the constitution.
Sheesh.
Spengler called it ‘Caesarism’
French King Louis XIV proclaimed, “L’Etat c’est moi!” (”I am the state!”), one of the most arrogant and self-important claims ever made by royalty, seems to be the manner of governance followed by Current Occupant. To hell with any accursed code of law, comply with the command given you.

Truman busted Mac Arthur’s hump and wrecked his career for actions and language not ONE TENTH as reckless and irresponsible as that.
Director Saldana?
And Mussolini said: "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."
Obama is partial to the conjunction of the two assertions.
If I had policies or directives that were contrary to the law, I would understand if they didnt want to follow them. I would expect them to follow the law first, Representative Young said.Unbelievable.To that, Saldana replied, And thats where you and I probably have a fundamental disagreement.

Dang auto correct.... Should be In freaking ...
