Cornyn: Obama’s immigration order shows ‘contempt’ for Constitution
The Hill ^ | 11/17/14 | Ramsey Cox

Posted on 11/19/2014 7:51:14 AM PST by jimbo123

en. John Cornyn (R-Texas) blasted President Obama for issuing executive orders on immigration.

“He’s showing contempt for the Constitution, for the voters and basically anyone who disagrees with him,” Cornyn said on the Senate floor Monday.

The Obama administration has announced it will grant nearly 5 million worker visas by the end of the year so that immigrants — some of which have U.S. children — can stay in the United States. Cornyn said that action was something he would expect from a “tin-pot dictator” rather than the president.

Surely the hundreds of thousands of conservatives protesting in front of the White House will prevent him from doing this???

Expect alot of sound & fury from the GOP - with no action - in response to Obama's amnesty EO.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

He's walked all over The Constitution from the beginning and there's been NO repercussions.Some will stamp their feet & raise their voice, but in the end not one dang thing will be done about it.

Why should he stop now?

High crime and mis-demeaner. So Republicans need to get off their lard-aszes and do the job they swore they would do “protect and defend the Constitution”

Once again, the GOP leadership is upset about HOW Obama is going to do this rather than about WHAT he is doing.

Yes, using an executive order to accomplish amnesty shows contempt for the Constitution, but granting amnesty in and of itself shows contempt for the Constitution!

Sorry, GOP, just because you want to call it "immigration reform" and put in a bill with your names on it does NOT make amnesty any better for the country or any less of a travesty against the rule of law!

>>He’s showing contempt for the Constitution<<

Contempt for the constitution would also include NOT impeaching a lawless executive...would it not Johnny?

Zero’s brand new, freshly minted personal army of 5,000,000 who will riot at his orders.

Naw! I am just a paranoid patriot. Never mind.

Obama, his entire administration, and all the idiots (Dems and Repugs alike) should be rounded up, locked up and then strung up one by one - in public. At this point, it hardly matters who fills their shoes. A Cub Scout could do a better job. It can’t get much worse than the direction were currently on.

Let me guess.. he picked Nevada so that the Dims can attempt to lock-down Nevada and nearby Colorado’s 15EVs by means of invasion, right?

Hopefully the voters can see through this.

Meanwhile, the 5 million workers he’s giving visas to will have anchor babies, which means they’re never leaving, visa or no visa. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and the gutless GOP leaders will impotently whine from the sidelines while doing precisely nothing. Why did I vote again?

Look for a prolonged "Indian summer" throughout the U.S. caused by all the hot air from Republicans whining, but nothing else, over Traitorobama's latest treachery.

Still, after everything he’s done, no one in a position of power and influence seems willing to simply state the obvious and take the necessary steps:

Obama, an illegal alien himself, and a Communist, and a Muslim, is - in his narcissistic, sociopathic heart - a tyrant, a traitorous tyrant who means to destroy this country. He will not be stopped without drastic measures.

MOST of what the federal government does is unconstitutional.

Put your $$ where your mouth is, Cornball!

Where is your *conservative* coalition who will put strong pressure on Bonehead to draw up the Articles of Impeachment against 0bola’s lawlessness?
