FULL TITLE: "Obama Is Preparing To Make One Of The Boldest Moves Of His Presidency — And It Could Stretch The Scope Of Executive Power"

By the end of the summer, President Barack Obama will make what some activists and legal experts say could be the "boldest move" of his presidency as he prepares to move without Congress on immigration reform.

The coming executive actions to change immigration policy could become the defining moment in a second term marred by congressional gridlock. A mid fierce debate over the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border they also could set up a potential political firestorm

“Let him do it.” and then sit back and watch the Labor Unions and the Blacks go apeshit against the Democratic party, because really they are the ones who get hurt the most by 10 million freshly legalized unskilled workers.


REally? How so?

The unions are licking their chops, just waiting to chomp on all of those newly unionized workers’ dues. And the FreeSh*!™ folks are licking their chops thinking about all of the new taxes going towards their couch sitting *fees*.

You have to also consider that those who don’t live near a border state have NOT been seeing the overwhelming invasion we have lived with. Almost daily on Houston news they show a home that has been used to imprison upwards of 60-80 men and women until family members pay off the coyotes for bringing them into the US. It is rampant - and then we feel sorry for those who have been held like animals - who then go out and drive drunk without a license or insurance and run when they kill and American on the road.....it is unreal

If he does anything we win.

First of all, anything done by executive action, can be undone by only executive action.

2nd of all, if he does anything he will enrage all conservatives and a large percentage of Democrats, leading to a landslide for us in November.

As long as we don't push impeachment until after November, he will be handing us a gift.

What can we do beyond calling our reps and voting conservative?

Go after CoC members?
Only do business with businesses that use E-Verify?

So a poll came out today showing only 27% agree with his handling of immigration,now he is going to give millions of them amnesty?
That should be something with the midterms coming up.
The voters in Kentucky are going to vote for the Democrat because she got the endorsement of the United Mine workers?
She is a freakin Democrat you boobs,if Harry Reid is still majority leader in the Senate because you elected a Democrat then you can kiss your jobs goodbye,Harry Reid is going to change his mind for her? What a bunch of dolts,you deserve to lose your jobs,idiots

Call for Congress to do its constitutional duty and impeach Obama. He won’t be convicted, but someone has to defend the Constitution. Members of Congress have sworn to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. This goes beyond partisan politics. It is a constitutional crisis that threatens the very survival of the Republic.

What you stated (military removal of Obama) is FAR less likely than impeachment. In fact what you stated would never happen. The military will not remove a civilian President.

I agree that impeachment does not seem likely as of now given the spineless Republicans in charge. However it is at least possible with proper leadership. The first and second steps however do not involve impeachment. The first step is to call for impeachment hearings. That is where we are now. The second step is to conduct impeachment hearings to summarize and document the crimes.

Immigration reform or surrender. If we don't have borders then we don't have territory. Without territory we don't have a nation. Obama does not understand. He is not a real American and does not identify with this nation nor the constitution he swore to support and defend.

Hey, it’s just a “bold move,” according to the press.

“as he prepares to move without Congress on immigration reform”

Translated for Time magazine non-subscribers:
as he contemplates usurping the role of another, coequal branch of government in a blatantly unconstitutional power-grab, much like tyrant monarch Henry VIII issuing arbitrary edicts to suit his own insane, megalomaniac needs due to sad `Daddy issues’.

Why aren’t the people of the great state of Texas fighting back?

Didn’t the Gov send out the National Guard?

When should/do the “We the People” fight back?
