If he slaps you with a glove, you slap him with a bag a marbles, and so forth.

Slap in the face? Really? Is Treason just too harsh of a word to describe Obama's actions?

With Republican leaders like this it is clear we have already lost. They are in on it.

Agree, the GOP leadership is only angling to come off OK in terms of PR. Their donor base wants more cheap labor. If they can get it while Obama gets blame for overreach, that's OK with the GOP.

Expect lots of speeches and declarations from the GOP. Action? - not so much.

One thing might save us. If 1-2 million illegals jump the border in the next 30-60 days.

Thus the reason for the State Deptartment's new scheme of issuing join-your-amnestied-illegal-relative visas. The new wave will come in quietly via the airports armed with "legal" papers.

If only there were enough patriots in DHS and the Dept. of State who would stand up and say "No. I will not facilitate this illegal scheme".

-Just kidding. I used to work with those folks. Time-serving lefty drones for the most part. They'll have no problem rubber-stamping entire villages of illiterate future gang-bangers into our homeland.

One side is scared, the other is glad of it!

Did someone in America search out all of the cowards and put them in the Republican Party. So far, the only republicans standing up are the people, in government we’ve elected a bunch of marys.

I’m surprised that Michael Medved is really laying into him today on his radio program. He’s usually very mild in his criticism of Obama.

I’m waiting for Boehner to start crying, now that he’s been slapped in the face by the little tyrant.

It is only a slap in the face if it offends. The GOPe want amnesty.

That’s hardly representative of a large number of newly elected people, as well as Jim Jordan, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and many others already there. The question is why did Cruz and Lee sign on to allowing Mitch to stay majority leader? If you say they were corrupted, then it must mean that the government corrupts everything and everyone-—which is patently false because it didn’t do so in the past.

Obama immigration action "slap in the face," top GOP lawmakers say

Right. And those same top GOP lawmakers want to kick Jeff Sessions off Budget, and install Enzi instead.

So what they are really saying is, "this is a slap in the face. But what we really want is for you to knock our teeth out."

Demography is destiny. When you import the third world, you become the third world. True enough.

But when you import the third world and teach them to hate you, well how do you think that turns out?

And what will they do to stop him? Impeachment is “off the table.” Shutting down government is “off the table.” Stupid turds.

Larry. Talk to me.

It's clear that top Republican leadership has ZERO interest in stopping Amnesty. Otherwise, they would not be trying to replace Jeff Sessions (Senate Budget) with Enzi. Otherwise, Ted Cruz had a pretty good idea: Refuse to confirm any appointees whatsoever. Judicial, legislative, anything.

So that won't work. Top GOP Brass does not want it to work.

PJ2 has a good idea: See what you think.

All of the states with Republican legislatures and governors should go into emergency session and pass legislation in their states explicitly denying these illegal aliens access to state programs and services, essentially refusing to recognize Obama's executive order.

State can cite Article I Section 8 "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;" and say that Obama's actions are unconstitutional because: 1) they are not uniform, and 2) the power belongs to Congress, and the states are following the laws passed by Congress.

When Obama pushes back like he did the last time in Arizona, the states can say that the Courts already ruled that there needs to be one set of laws for all the states to follow, and that set comes from Congress.

Get as many states as possible to rush through this legislation, and make Obama fight all the state legislatures and governors over this. Get the states to tell Obama that they no longer recognize his authority to act on immigration.

Anything that Congress wants to do on this matter is just icing on the cake. The states are where the fight is.

30+ state legislatures against 1 arrogant dictator.

Take the fight to Obama via the authority of the states.

Whatchya think?

You did well, friend. It's our only chance at this point, and it's a Hail Mary pass.

I have often wondered what it was like, in Russia, to be a committed communist, and watch your country die.

As a committed capitalist, I am experiencing what they did.

I know how you feel. I don't want my career savings for my retirement to be redistributed to someone who never worked a day for it.

Confiscation of retirement savings can't be too far down the road after this.
