If they ever have the White House and both houses of Congress again, the GOP needs to reign in these executive agencies that think they can make laws with a stroke of the Presidents pen.

Speaking of which, we now need to focus on the lawyers and judges.

The ***ONLY*** thing Republicans can do is CUT HIS BUDGET.

Since they've already surrendered the budget fight, get used to the tyranny. :)

The goal: Obama - A pResident of One. Isolate and Contain.

“...deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles.”....

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Caged animal. Tantrum. Call it what you want. Two more years of the most asinine government nobody on this forum can even imagine.

“Obama announced yet another initiative Wednesday in Beijing, where he and Chinese President Xi Jinping jointly committed to targets for the two nations to curb their carbon emissions during the next two decades.”

China, due to their poor safety controls has hundreds (thousands?) of coal mine fires burning (almost impossible to put out once they start burning underground).

China's burning coal mines put out as much CO2 in a year as all of America's cars and trucks.

Of course, CO2 has nothing to do with it - but it makes it even more ridicules to think that China will be reducing its CO2 output.

“Caged animal. Tantrum”

Wait until people’s electric bills double and triple.

Obama is counting on a compliant press making sure Republicans are blamed for it.

Notice how they are saying that McConnell will cave, because he “wants to get things done.”

He has just been reelected, and he is old enough to retire in six years. Why should he care?

Has caving to Democrat desires become so important to him?

Obama doesn’t give a crap about “climate change” except as another pretext to achieve his real goal - destroying the historic American nation.

Obama will complete his transformation of America, period. Dictator, tyrant, king.

(1) Gut the EPA
(2) Issue a House-Senate "Speaker's Statement" to the States that Obama's orders do not carry the power of law, do not represent the will of Congress, and thus can be ignored.

I envision these "Speaker's Statements" can also be used to prevent states from accepting Obama's executive orders on amnesty, by denying illegals work permits, benefits, or licenses, and instructing local law enforcement to apprehend them subject to the 1996 immigration law. The Speaker needs to begin to assert Prime Minister-like authority separate from the President and Courts, and push back hard, including full subpoena, enforcement and imprisonment powers of the House.

These are all in effect regressive tax increases that will hit the poor the most. Republicans need to remind the poor of this at all opportunities.

Constitutional amendment time.

Marriage Amendment
Balanced Budget Amendment
?

And maybe some clarification on the 14th amendment so it goes back to meaning what it originally meant and not what the courts have rewritten it to mean.

Legality isn’t an issue. As long as the media is on board with it.
