”Your Congress is impotent.
We could give all 57 states
swine flu, tuberculosis, Ebola, cholera,
whooping cough, measles, scabies, and chicken pox
and Congress will snivel
and accept that we made them ... EXEMPT."

Via the Daily Caller, an elegant opening statement from today’s House Rules Committee hearing on Boehner’s separation-of-powers lawsuit. You’ve heard him make this argument before but he’s getting more apocalyptic with each appearance before Congress — and who can blame him? The last time he testified, Obama wasn’t babbling to activists about amnestizing five million illegals with a stroke of his pen. Today Turley calls O’s rhetoric about unilateral action “extreme” and warns the committee that Congress will effectively self-destruct if the executive is allowed to do what he wants whenever there’s gridlock. After all, in a system of limited powers, gridlock produces paralysis, not government by executive diktat; the whole point of checks and balances, he says correctly, is to protect the individual citizen’s liberty by getting the different arms of the federal government to police each other.
If the president can override Congress whenever it’s at an impasse, the minority party will be forced to choose between letting the president do what he wants by executive order and “compromising” by signing onto a bill that lets the president do what he wants in exchange for a few concessions. That’s the end of Congress, and the end of checks and balances.

EXACTLY.
Sloth is the sin of good men doing nothing in the face of evil.
How lazy is Obama’s opposition?

Speaker Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Reid are both being paid by the same people who are behind BHO2: the banksters who control the Federal Reserve and are determined to destroy the United States and establish a One World Govt.
BULLSEYE!!
On Megyn. Kelly now
Which is why Obama is a despot.

Who says they’re opposed?
-— On Megyn. Kelly now ——
Bump
Turley was just on Kelly Files. She played a series of his outtakes from the hearing today and then in person
Before him she interview Ben Carson. He emphasized reading Alinsky, Marx etc. know what THEY are doing. Great program thus far
We’ll have a dictatorship then. But isn’t that what the democrats have wanted all along?
Things Congress could do:
1. Issue resolutions declaring Obama’s executive orders unlawful and saying that people do not need to follow them, or in the case where Obama is illegally relieving people from legal duties or illegally giving them freebies, declare that such persons will be retroactively liable for such when the illegal Obama orders are overturned..
2. Defund any enforcement mechanism of Obama agencies used to enforce illegal executive orders.
3. Issue directives to federal officers and employees that the executive orders are unlawful and that the officer/employee may face disciplinary action or penalties at some point in the future once the order is invalidated.
4. Publish a list of all of Obama’s actions which are unlawful and which are not binding on folks.
he [Turley] made this same argument when Bush was president and was ignored by Republicans. Now he's making it at Obama's expense and is ignored by Democrats. Odds of him being ignored by the president's party come 2017: Upwards of 100 percent. Candidly, that's one of the reasons I'm going to give Rand Paul a hard look in 2016.
My belief as well.
Turley is pretty liberal, so he is taking a big risk calling for the reining in of Obama
The Black Racists and White Guilt Liberals will be attacking Turley in 3, 2, 1....
Impeach and remove.
Combine Issa’s and Gowdy’s committees into an impeachment committee under Gowdy.
