And our rogue POTUS. We all know the heads of the judiciary and the head of the executive have been totally lawless in handling Obamacare. But what will the legislative branch do about it? The Constitutional remedy is impeachment; is that going to happen anytime soon?

When Ted Cruz is elected POTUS in 201, I’ll bet you both the $Million dollars and the farm I don’t have that he will nominate Senator Lee to SCOTUS.

Biden’s first question would likely be, “Why are you trying to defund Amtrak? I have ridden it twice a day for 30 years from DC to Scranton...”

Lee Calling out Obama - using words like King, despot (hey, let’s try tinpot dictator!)

Just because a law has been passed does not mean it must be funded. Congress can’t bind a future Congress like that.

"What can we do about our rogue SCOTUS"

Nothing at all - blackmail, and threats, OR - big pays under the table are three things we will never be able to prove, I'm so sorry to say.

I am only saying Ted has that Charisma that is necessary to win Presidential general elections.

Mike Lee does not.
That does not make Mr Lee any less.

Want to educate your children about civics?...... Don’t need CSCOPE, just a couple of hours watching Sen. Ted Cruz Sen. Mike Lee discuss Obamacare.

My son just said “watching Ted Cruz is more educational than a four year poly sci degree!”

Impeach them for usurping the power of the house for their own ends, unconstitutionally.

I thought that would be an appropriate remedy too so did a little research. Only one Supreme Court justice faced impeachment and the vote failed. Not one has been impeached since. IIR,that was in 1819 or abouts. For whatever reason, congress just won't do it.

Gingrich had a plan...I don’t know if his paper on it is still up somewhere.

Yes, I completely agree and I find Senator Lee very charming and down home.

He’s a true American patriot and he speaks striaght from his heart with a knowledge of our constitution that’s exceptional.
