You just legislatively cut your own throats

Hey, Congress, if you’re looking around for who to blame for causing all the uproar about unconstitutional edicts, executive orders and administrative mandates please stop pointing your collective finger at Obama. You should be looking in a mirror for creating unconstitutional legislation in the first place.

Granted, Obama is the man with his finger on the trigger, so to speak, but (again and forever more) collectively you, Congress, gave him the gun and the ammo. How many times have you written laws that allowed the sitting Secretary-of-Whatever-Department-of-the-Administration to implement their ideology rather than limiting themselves to administer laws that have been created at your direction? You gave the sitting President the power to work around Congress by defining in legislation (that Congress itself wrote) that his (or in the future possibly her) administration will not merely administer and enforce law, but will have the authority to create and interpret law.

The Republicans couldn’t lead or legislate themselves out of a sh**house.
