Since Mitch is going to restore the filibuster rules to where they were, why would Dems ever have to worry about this?
I agree with you. I would love to see a President Cruz! I think he’s the real conservative deal.
And this is why impeachment may not be an option but a requirement. If 0bama is allowed to get away with this, then you can bet the farm EOs will be used again, and again. Imagine the worst possible situation, now triple it.
If the MSM did their job,we would never have gotten to this point.
Let the record show, whatever Obama gets away with, the next Republican President is duty bound to copy. Power must at minimum not be different depending on which party holds power.
I didn’t know WaPo had it in them.
He should not restore it. We cannot allow a situation where Dems in power have MORE power that Republicans in power. Republicans must not let the Democrats get away with that double standard or WE THE PEOPLE are robbed.
Impeached? He could behead a troop of girl scouts on the White House lawn during the Easter Egg roll, butcher them, barbecue them and serve them to all the participants and he still wouldn’t be impeached. And if you criticized him about it, the press would say “it’s a black thing” and accuse you of being a racist tea bagging rethuglican for bringing it up while licking their fingers and asking Michelle what kind of “awesome” spice rub they’re using and beg for more of that “delicious” macaroni & cheese and a refill of their grape Kool-aid.
If we get a GOP president in 2017, I’d want him to list the sins of the Obama Administration (using the IRS for political purposes, using the NSA as a spying post on Americans and the media, failing to prosecute administration wrongdoing, etc.) and publicly explain to America and the Democrats that since the Democrats were able to do these without punishment or consequence, the Republicans will openly do the same thing (pause while liberal heads explode) unless they turn over the Holders, Lerners, Grubers, Jarretts and others to receive jail terms of no less than four years without probation or parole.
It would amount to a huge bluff but it might call attention to the American public how lawless this administration was because the only way Democrats can express their outrage is to also admit that they were massively violating the law. Otherwise, why would they be upset if Republicans take the same liberties that the Obama Administration did?
Only Cruz would have the guts to do such a thing, take the heat for it and then make liberals think he means it.
Of course. It's why the GOP won the midterms too dontchaknow. You can always bet on the Dems using something well past it's expiration date, and that one is only working with the true believers on the left and the irrationally nervous on the right.
Republicans need to make it clear what Obama does with a stroke of a pen can and will be undone with a stroke of a pen.
Let illegals worry about getting their name on a list that can then be used to deport them.
Yes I agree. But also we need to not let the Dems have more power that everyone else. What is good for them is good for us. Everyone MUST play by the same rules.
If Dems had any concern about what they were doing being used against them, they never would have done the IRS thing. They think they are untouchable now... and making sure they stay untouchable is why they want 30 million new Dem voters as soon as possible.
ONly think is, some things you can’t undo. I don’t think once given, you can take back amnesty. So they will have to learn this lesson on some other subject.
I do not want to see a President Cruz. I want a Senate Majority leader Cruz. For the next couple of decades.
I would vote for that, too.
So, the WaPo has no problem with a lawless presidency, they just don't want a conservative president to use the same tactics. But they're wasting their breath regardless because Obama won't listen to whitey.
“Newly elected President Ted Cruz”.
Sounds good to me.
If Obama gets away with this, THERE WONT BE ANYMORE Republican presidents. That’s the whole point!
