I hope president Cruz refuses to prosecute anyone violating the abortion protester buffer zones !

Then he can unilaterally sell the Arctic national wildlife refuge to Exxon, and build an oil pipeline right through Nancy Pelosi house!

Refuse to prosecute any and all white supremacists who stand outside of black polling areas with weapons and threatening people!

Then he can unilaterally throw every sodomite in the military into a military brig.

Deny government contracts to any business who has used racial quotas in the past or present.

Unilaterally take funds designated for head start programs and divert them to the coffers of pro life groups

Fire the entire workforce at the civil rights division, hire all new people then start sicking them on the NFL and Black Entertainment Network, The Miss Black America Pageant, ect... for discrimination against white in hiring.

Then direct the IRS to start targeting all liberal groups with audits.

that would be a good START to even the score of what Obola has done the last 6 years!!!!

I didn’t know WaPo had it in them.

The Washington Post is afraid for themselves. This last election highlighted the fact liberal elites are a small part of the population - without lower class blacks and illegals to prop them up they don't have power.

Why would that matter?

Because the law - AND the Constitution - are set up to protect the politically powerless. The powerful in every culture can protect themselves. For the first time since the early 70's the Washington Post is feeling threatened. An out of control President - either Obama or some imaginary Republican could take THEM down with a stroke of the pen. And that's their concern... IMHO

EOs aren’t law and one presidents EO is undone with a stroke of a pen by a following president all the time.

Obama might give amnesty while he’s president but his EOs aren’t binding for the next president unless the next president want’s it.

Same with a pardon.

He might pardon them for their past crime but 1 second later they just committed another crime, they are still in the country illegally, and a president can’t pardon someone for future crimes.

Canary in the coal mine. WaPo is definitely picking up on the well-justified fear from rank and file Democrats over executive amnesty.

Cruz is an actual constitutional scholar. He wouldn't violate it. He would, however, undo any unconstitutional actions committed by his predecessor.

Good to see the WaPo is envisioning Cruz as President. I am, too. He is the one they fear, and the attacks will be relentless.

LOL - to make it PERFECT we'd have to have the press with US - and anytime a citizen objected to our heavy handed thuggery the press - NBC, ABC, CBS, Washington Post, New York Times and LA Times would have to mock and make fun those citizens.

Even if we tried it would be difficult to be as thuggy and totalitarian as the horrors on the left.

If the Sultan gets away with Amnesty, expect Citizenship by EO. If Amnesty is not stopped by congress, neither will Citizenship and instant voting rights be stopped.

et the record show that the Republicans selected Boehner and McConnell to lead them in Congress. Let the record show that the Republican Party is not serious.

This is not an advocacy for it, but I honestly think the only fitting thing to do would be to burn the Washington Post to the ground, and every other paper and media entity that sold this nation out decades ago right along with it.

What did they think their advocacy would ultimately result in other than the destruction of our nation?

Well, they’ve accomplished it. Now they’re having a tinge of guilt. Gag me with a pitch-fork.

We have a rogue president. We told them who this man was. They couldn’t have cared less. And now here we are, so far outside the bounds of constitutionality that even they can’t believe what they are seeing.

In a word, pitiful.

These entities do not deserve to exist. Someone should raise a monument on each site, and reveal their record and why they no longer exist, as a warning to future generations what to avoid before their nation dies.

The person to run on the Republican ticket for 2016 is whomever the Washington Compost fears the most.

” This is not an advocacy for it, but I honestly think the only fitting thing to do would be to burn the Washington Post to the ground, and every other paper and media entity that sold this nation out decades ago right along with it.”

Advocating treason should have consequences.

All amnesty can do is forgive past crimes. It can’t grant citizenship or permanent resident status. It would take a law passed by congress to do that.

They couldn’t be charged for entering the country illegally, but they could be forced to leave.

What a failure of imagination.

EPA is an executive agency. A conservative President could decimate its agenda.

If an Israeli supporting President invaded “Palestine”, how much damage could be done before the War Powers Act kicks in? Hell, if the President ordered troops to quarantine Mecca, could Congress stop it? Bomb Mecca?

Refuse to name an Ambassador to the UN? Tell Customs to refuse to issue Visas to anybody working at the UN?

Use existing law to actually close the border, revoke previous EO, and task INS with aggressively deportation.

The list is endless and contrary to Morrissey’s opinion, need not constrain a Constitution loving President.

Only thing is, some things you can’t undo. I don’t think once given, you can take back amnesty.

He is not going to grant amnesty. I wish people would stop repeating fictitious statements. He is going to direct the federal government to stop deporting illegals. That is way different than actually granting amnesty.

Order the ATF to stop enforcing any gun laws and shut down the background check system.

Open every wildlife refuge to hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Turn the national parks into an ORV playground.

Log off the old growth forests in the NW and use the lumber to make woodduck boxes and hunting blinds.

Remove Ethanol from gasoline and limit the EPA to regulating city sewage systems.

Dam that CA river and stock something that will eat that crappy little delta smelt, Muskies perhaps?

That would keep liberal heads spinning for awhile.
