exactly. they are not laws.

they are directives and orders for executive branch agencies.

if they were laws we could send all of congress home.

Boehner? BOEHNER!

Anybody here seen Speaker Boehner?

If you do see him, tell him that he has some Articles of Impeachment to submit before the weekend.

That is irrelevant. He can direct the myriad agencies and directorates to do something via EO and they will do it. This then affects everything: Health, Labor, Environment,Treasury, Interior, Justice, Commerce, Transportation, ad nauseum. Every aspect of our lives is affected.

The sycophants will just quietly rejoice as their dictator turns us into a communist state subservient to global consensus. Fascism is just too right wing, dontchaknow.

Five hours before inauguration time? Only The Won has that kind of authority (remember “Office of the President Elect”?)

At least Hitler and Mussolini had the trains running on time. A complete failure and currently the most hated man on the planet.

Gee, wonder what is next !

Barack will do what he wants to do during his final hurrah.

He isn't afraid of the voters as he's not running again. He's not afraid of the houses of Congress as they can do nothing about executive orders.

And how can he be concerned about an unstable Chief Justice and an iffy highest court that's giving him almost carte blanche right now.....

And most importantly, he's not afraid of the MSM because they are firmly in his back pocket and can be counted on to protect him no matter what marxist outrages he produces.

Obama is indeed in the catbird seat these days....and he knows it. That explains his cocky remarks today.

The trains were on time, because the conductors lied.

Yes. The early de-usurper staff will have zero’s worm EOs ready to strip off like the morning mustache on Cameron Diaz.

The American people believe in executive orders by liberals and always have at least since Andrew Jackson.

It’s not just the media that protects him, but the
American people who will never admit they erred with Obama.

EO’s are not laws, I hope people know this

They have the effect of law and require a super majority of Both Houses to overturn, but you are correct, they are not laws, actually they are more like Constitutional Amendments.

The government can enforce any law, regulation or damnable scheme it wants to, because it has the power to do so, the law be damned.
