House Speaker John Boehner told reporters, “I’ve made clear to the president that if he acts unilaterally on his own outside of his authority, he will poison the well, and there will be no chance for immigration reform moving in this Congress.”
Why? If obama acts unilaterally Congress will curl into the fetal position and cry? What does that mean? Why can’t this Republican Congress function whether obama acts or not? Why don’t Republicans already have a plan? What have they been doing?
The Constitution-in-liberals’-minds does *not* “say” that the President cannot decree taxes. Chief Justice John Roberts may be expected to declare the “executive order” to be a tax.
And so convoluted - ignoring the principles of original intent and enumeration of powers - the Supreme Court will continue to back government by executive and “judicial” decrees.
Actually, Elections to Not Have consequences as evidenced by yesterday’s 7-2 SCOTUS decision to approve Gay Marriage in the State of Kansas.
Obama appointments, G.W. Bush appointment, Clinton appointments, a H.W. Bush appointment and a Reagan appointment all voted for Gay Marriage.
Elections have no consequences except oppress.
I do not think this outcome is a slam dunk.
In fact its counter intuitive. Native born asians and latinos have no reason to want millions more illegals flooding into their communities taking their jobs and utilizing their resources. Unless they're willing to overlook all of the negative consequences simply in order to have more folks in the country who look like them (and not much more in common).
I'm sure there are such racists as there are in any community, but those people likely vote democrat already.
They'll change their tune if there's a Republican President. And they'll change it back the next time there's a rat. HYPOCRISY is the mother's milk of politics.
