WH Official Palmieri: Obama’s Not ‘Tearing Up the Constitution’ on Immigration
mediaite ^ | Nov. 20, 2014 | Evan McMurry

White House Director of Communications Jennifer Palmieri affirmed to Morning Joe Thursday morning that President Barack Obama’s proposed executive action carving out legal protection for undocumented immigrations currently residing in the United States was within his constitutional powers, and did not represent an executive power grab of regal dimensions.

“He’s not king,” Palmieri said. “He can’t just pick up the piece of legislation that the advocates and he were pushing for and implement that.

It seems to me that is pretty much what he is doing.

“He’s not king,” Palmieri said. “He can’t just pick up the piece of legislation that the advocates and he were pushing for and implement that.

But he can ask members of his own administration, who serve at his pleasure, for their collective opinion and then implement that.

Gruberisms flow like a waterfall.

Imagine the outrage if a Republican president was doing something similar.

He isn’t tearing it up, he is wiping the royal bum with it.

He wiped his nasty ass with that document years ago and flushed it down the Pirate Roberts’ toilet. He does these last assaults on a dying Republic because he knows the republicants will not restrain him.

He's not? Phew. That's a relief. I was getting worried there for a moment. I'm glad that's settled. I feel much better now.

Who said?:

“There is no surer signal that something is true than when it is officially denied by the government.”

Was it Mark Twain?

Right. Nor was he when he “deemed” the Senate in recess. The Kenyan lost that one 9-0.

Has anyone contmeplated going after federal employees that implement Obama’s illegal executive order? If i were in charge of the House or Senate I might consider issuing a warning that any federal employee that violates the laws on the books will be held accountable after all of this shakes out.

It would be interesting to see if some employees refuse to follow Obama and are reprimanded by their superiors. How the Gov. could justify disciplining them when they were simply following the law would be interesting to see play out in a courtroom. Conversely, any employee punished someway by congress for following an illegal obama order could sue but would have to admit they broke the law and followed orders instead.

It didnt work for the Nazi’s, so there is precedent

He’s not going to tear up the Constitution. He is just putting it in a box and closing the lid. It will later be placed in a museum with limited patronage so that future sultans can look at a relic of the bad old days.
