Secondarily it is really a wake-up call to me to note the small number of responses to this thread on FR. Twenty years ago this kind of article would have had hundreds of outraged responses.

Years ago there were people on FR that would have posted all kinds of stuff. Most of them were banned. Not sure why.

Obama's very disturbed---maybe deranged. We are all in danger every minute this seething mass of hatred holds onto power. He was decisively trounced and rejected at midterms. Now he's paranoid----frantic to do something---anything---to feed his monumental ego.

Keep in mind, the ultimate self-hating liberal quest is to "feel good" about oneself.

================================================

FREEPER EDWINLAND CAME UP W/ THIS GEM---The Republican Senate leadership should say: "If the president moves to augment the power of the Executive Branch in an unprecedented and unconstitutional manner via E/O'ing amnesty, then the Legislative Branch will need to increase its powers in order to maintain the balance of powers called for in the US Constitution.

The Senate will do this in an unprecedented but completely constitutional manner, by providing that the filibuster rule is suspended completely until such time as the president withdraws his executive aggrandizement.

RATIONALE--Obama's temporary amnesty E/O requires temporary suspension of the rule. That should also include Congress passing laws without the president signing the bill.

If it is okay for the president to overreach, then it is okay for Congress to overreach. Obama forgets that the Congress can also say, “We have been patient.”
