Similarly, the courts generally reject claims against private defendants for violations of executive orders. For example, in Cohen v. Illinois Institute of Technology, 524 F.2d 818 (7th Cir. 1975), 425 U.S. 943, 96 S. Ct. 1683, 48 L. Ed. 2d 187 (1976), the appellate court denied a professor’s claim against a university to recover damages for Sex Discrimination in violation of Executive Order No. 11,246, stating that the executive order could not give rise to an independent private cause of action.

We’re now dealing with utterly lawless Executive Orders that spit in the face of the Constitution and the powers granted to the Executive Branch by it.

A sex discrimination case is a far cry from a treasonous affront to the Republic.

In my column above, I’m not talking about having to make “private” claims against Obama, as that should not even have to happen—in a sane world. I’m talking about the co-equal Legislative Branch taking lawful action against him.
