Incoming Virginia congressman Dave Brat, whose historic GOP primary victory over then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor shook up Washington’s power structure this summer, is blasting President Obama’s executive fiat on immigration reform as "morally vacuous" – while stopping short of calling for impeachment.

“It is easy to sit in the rarefied environs of academia, in the ivory towers of a college campus, with no accountability and no consequence,” said Cantor, sniping at Brat.

Maybe Cantor could have made these arguments if he spent more time in the rarified environs of academia.

I notice a lot of the no votes against Boehner's bill were from Texas, Tennessee and Virginia

“One to watch.”

Agree Jim. He doesn’t owe the Tea Party, or, more specifically, the organizations that now control the Tea Party, and he certainly doesn’t owe the Republican Establishment a damn thing, considering how they all laughed him off when he went after Cantor.

...so he can say whatever he wants to, without having to look over his shoulder. The one concern that anyone in his position does have is being set-up for a criminal accusation. That’s about the only way anyone will silence him.

Anybody who knows what the word vacuous means already knows that.

Has Obama signed the order yet, or is he trying to pull a law trick to fool Americans into believing that he signed the order, when he hasn't?
