And STILL no voices of outrage and fighting back from Republicans! Don't they get it? You don't deal with the devil!

I understand the feeling, and share it, because nothing short of arrest tomorrow will begin to perk any actual optimism. . . But did you read Huckabee or Cruz, for starters? Perry? (Not to mention Scalia.) They're talking like Andrew Jackson—something I've never heard in my lifetime, except from myself.

The expression "violated their oaths"—that's High Crimes talk. But more than that, it's a credibility destroyer from which there is no going back. Instead of, "The Court has spoken, it's the law of the land, we'll work with it," it's the first time someone's actually said we should ignore the Supreme Court, since it has no jurisdiction in this. It's been un-sayable until now.

Shock of your life
Take 1 minute to comprehend what you read below.

During our lifetimes, all Presidents have issued Executive Orders. For various reasons, some have issued more than others. These things will directly affect us all, in years to come.

Question is: Do YOU care enough to send this, ‘shocking info,’ to people you love

Ike - 2 in 8 year

Kennedy - 4 in 3 year

LBJ - 4 in 5 years

Nixon - 1 in 6 years

Ford - 3 in 2 years

Carter - 3 in 4 years

Reagan - 5 in 8 years

Bush - 3 in 4 years

Clinton - 15 in 8 years

George W. Bush - 62 in 8 years

Obama - 923 in 3 1/2 years! More than 1000+ and counting Executive Orders in 6 years...

Read some of them below – unbelievable!

Next step -dictatorship. (Looks like we are there already!).

If you don’t get the implications, you’re not paying attention. How come all the other presidents in the past 100 years have not found it necessary to INCREASE GOVERNMENT’S POWER OVER THE PEOPLE with more than 1,000 Executive Orders? This is really very scary.

And most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.

“YES, THERE IS A REASON THAT THIS PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED TO TAKE CONTROL AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.

Even some Democrats in the House have turned on him, plus a very small number of Democrat Senators have questioned him. Rightfully so. -

WHAT IS OBAMA REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH????

Remember what he told Russia ‘s Putin: “I’ll be more flexible after I’m reelected? Now look at these:

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 — allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 — allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 — allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 — allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 — allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 — allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare function

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 — designates the registration of all persons. Postmaster General to operate a national registration.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 — allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 — allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 — allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11049 — assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issued over a fifteen year period.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 — specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 — grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 11921 — allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution, of energ y sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. Financial institution in any undefined national emergency.

It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months.

Feel free to verify the “executive orders” at will. ....and these are just the major ones.

I’m sure you’ve all heard the tale of the “Frog in the Pot”... Watch Obama’s actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you where America is headed.

Obama has issued executive orders that seek to “harmonize” U.S. Economic regulations with the rest of the world. These executive orders are yet another incremental step that is pushing us closer to a North American Union and a one world economic system.

Obama used the stage at the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s I have a dream speech to announce two new executive orders infringing on your second amendment rights..

The first bans the importation of antique military firearms for sale to sportsman and collectors. He intentionally mislabels them military grade weapons to deceive the sheeple, but make no mistake . . . The order was written specifically to ban the importation of surplus M1 carbines, M1 Garands, 1903 Springfields and other antiques coveted by collectors and sport shooters.

This order is the death knell for the civilian marksmanship program.

Congress had previously passed the sportsman protection act in 1986 which among other things guaranteed that the importation of the historic relics for collectors and the CMP would not be impeded by unreasonable regulations.

Unfortunately, most Americans have absolutely no idea what is happening.

The American people need to understand that Barack Obama is constantly looking for ways to integrate the United States more deeply with the rest of the world.

The globalization of the world economy has accelerated under Obama, and this latest executive order represents a fundamental change in U.S. Economic policy. Now federal regulators will be required to “harmonize” their work with the international community.

And there’s only good times ahead for him because no one in Congress or SOTUS has the self respect and morals to put a stop to it.

Not sure where you got your totals from. The totals below come from: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/executive_orders.php

2014 31
2013 20
2012 39
2011 34
2010 35
2009 38
Total 197

Abraham Lincoln 48
Ulysses S. Grant 217
Theodore Roosevelt 1,081
Dwight D. Eisenhower 484
Ronald Reagan 381
George W. Bush 291

I’m not saying whether Executive Orders are a good or bad thing. Guess it depends on what the hey the order refers to. My preference, would of course be for actual laws to be passed. But looking at some things that Bush issued an executive order about ... would they need to pass an actual law? Or is it administrative areas? I don’t rightly know .. nor have I taken the time to review all EO’s.

But the thing about EO’s is the next president can rescind the previous POTUS’ EO’s.

George W. Bush January 9, 2009 Executive Order 13484 - Amending the Order of Succession Within the Department of Agriculture
George W. Bush January 9, 2009 Executive Order 13485 - Providing an Order of Succession Within the Department of Transportation
George W. Bush January 9, 2009 Executive Order 13486 - Strengthening Laboratory Biosecurity in the United States
