Five Ways Congress Should Respond To Obama’s Exec Amnesty-Don’t get mad. Don’t get even. Get nasty.
The American Spectator ^ | November 25, 2014 | Scott McKay

Posted on 11/25/2014 2:23:18 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

"........What Obama has done—asserting the right to legalize millions of trespassers and squatters against the expressed wishes of Congress and in contravention of settled federal law by use of what he and his minions term “prosecutorial discretion”—cannot stand. GOP leadership on Capitol Hill needs to overreact to it in order to set an example....

[SNIP]

1.Yes, Defund The Bogus Fiat Amnesty.The Federalist’s Sean Davis took the squishes to task last week for their attempts to sell impotence, and he was correct on all points:.....

2.Censure.When the Bill Clinton impeachment mess was unfolding in 1998,the Senate Democrats’ response to House Republican talk of impeaching the president was a resolution of censure for his conduct. Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced, with 37 co-sponsors,a pretty stiff bill of particulars of Clinton’s misuse of office, and a personal statement that Clinton was a dirty SOB to boot......

3.Back Off, Or You Get No Appointees.Ted Cruz suggested this to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, and it’s been hinted at both by McConnell and Boehner, Essentially, the Senate would approve none of the president’s appointees, with the exception of positions related to national security,until he rescinds his immigration executive order.......

4.The State of The Union Is Broken. Another idea comes from Joel Pollak at Breitbart News:Congress should indicate to President Obama that his presence is not welcome on Capitol Hill as long as his “executive amnesty” remains in place. The gesture would, no doubt, be perceived as rude, but it is appropriate—and would be far less jarring or uncomfortable than the hostile reception Obama would likely receive in person. In lieu of an address, Congress would offer to read aloud whatever document Obama saw fit to send through......

5.Mr. President, Go To Your Room.This one is my idea:kill the White House travel budget until the president rescinds the fiat amnesty.....

how about holding real hearings as to where all of the stimulus money went. Attack the real power base which would be the donors that gave pennies to the dems and got millions back from the tax payers.

“prosecutorial discretion”

******

Could someone please tell me how President Obama could use “prosecutorial discretion” to greatly increase the number of foreign Tech workers as he used it to justify giving 5,000,000 illegals work visas? I don't understand how he can do it. Thanks.

Actually, there is a sixth method. The State of the Union address is roughly eight weeks away. The Constitution only says that the President give a “status” of the Union....but it does not say it must be done in the House, or that it be verbal (it can be written, as I understand it).

The House could meet and agree to deny the President an opportunity to give the address within their chamber. It’d probably draw lots of negative journalistic commentary, but it’s perfectly legit.

I think the President would sit there for hours....trying to figure a gimmick around this, but there simply aren’t any. Without the address....his theater character is non-existent.

Boehner is wussified. He will never do any one of these five. In fact Boehner hopes to isolate and ignore the Tea Party
caucus of the House, and work to have then all de-elected.Boehner will attack the conservatives in the House more stringently that he attacks Obama.

Boehner talks tough for the media but does NOTHING to isolate the president on the issue of unconstitutional conduct.Boehner so far is very bad ju jube for America.

congress doesn’t control the purse strings.. they control the budget.

we haven’t had a budget since 0bama took office.

0bama gets money by ordering more printed (or just adjusting figures on the balance sheet)

charge him, impeach him, and convict him. that’s the course set out by the Constitution.

"THE PRESIDENT SAID" illegal immigrants (hiding in the shadows)---including criminals---are encouraged to come forward to fill out APPLICATIONS for temporary residency

The "tolerant and compassionate" Obama govt will record all their information including illegals' documents from their homelands: copies of their matricular cards, passports, names of family members, number of children, places of residence in the USA, as well as in their homelands, including full biometrics, fingerprints, DNA etc. etc. etc.....

Remember people, "THE PRESIDENT SAID" illegals should give federal operatives (named above) all their relevant info so that 5 million illegals "could come out of the shadows and stay." (sniffle)

==================================================

Oh, BTW, all info will be data-mined w/ existing federal and state info.....heaven knows what we'll find:

Multiple identities,

voting registrations,

multiple SS nos, multiple drivers' licenses,

multiple EBT cards,

EITC applications,

real estate holdings here, and in their homelands,

investment accounts,

American Express platinum cards,

bank accounts,

bank cards,

debit cards,

wire-transfers to offshore banks,

memberships in violent organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt

.......etc, etc, etc, and so on and forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.......

I agree with the “blow off the State of the Union”. It’s become nothing but a big photo op for everyone and is no longer productive. Empty seats would be an effective means of protest.

The GOP must stop lining up for battle like the Redcoats, then, as expected, get mowed down - doing that tends to “wussify” your efforts.

Time to be smart.

Like Tuco’s good advice: “If you’re going to shoot -SHOOT! Don’t talk.

The list above puts good bullets in the Chamber.

The GOP is igboring Obama and they are just taking the incoming damage from the Obamna demographic war machine.Its like Obama laying seige to the GOP castle.

The GOP intends to outwait Obama for 2 years and then pick up the pieces. Thats the plan.

It sucks.We should be laying it to Obama just as the 5 bullet points indicate.But it just won’t happen given the wussified, elitist, non-Tea Party personalities who now control the House and Senate.Unless there is an upset of the leadership in the House and Senate....its crickets chirping for 2 more years. This will give Hillery a damn good shot at the presidency while the GOP is stuck with drone candidates like Jeb Bush.

We as a people want people in office like Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz , Alan West and others.But the GOP is eating its own. The important fight for the fuuture is not against lame duck Obama, its against the do nothings who control the GOP.Now the GOP establishment is going after Ted Cruz like they screwed Alan West by allowing a jockying of electoral districts in Florida instead of protecting West? What a bunch of GOP rino-pricks.Until these RINOS are gone, petty fascists like Obama will run circles around Boehner and McConnell.

Again, all of my money is going to Sarah PAC. Not one red cent will go to the GOP.

It is a start. De-fund everything they can. No appointees even if he backs off on amnesty. That is the permanent cost to his administration, they are done. Travel budget, gone. No more golf, period. Make the little commie - fascist miserable. Can you imagine how wookie would bitch at him if she couldn’t play queen anymore?
