No....no need to go back and “rethink that one”. I’d already heard about Hal Rogers’ claim, yesterday.
I happen to DISAGREE with Rogers and AGREE with Rep Steve King and Sen Jeff Sessions....
...Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who wants to defund the order, said he didn’t buy the argument from appropriators.
“I just don’t believe that,” he told reporters.
“They’re contriving red herring arguments to get to the point that enough members will walk out of this Congress and go home for Thanksgiving saying, ‘Well, there’s nothing we can do.’ “
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) also dismissed the argument and said lawmakers could attach language to an appropriations bill that would result in defunding the order.
“The American people’s Congress has the power and every right to deny funding for unworthy activities,” he said. “It is a routine and constitutional application of congressional power. There is no question that Congress has the power to block this expenditure and no doubt that it can be done.”
And....speaking of Hal Rogers “cover for amnesty” claim....isn’t this rich?
Dem: ‘Excellent’ that GOP panel called defunding ‘impossible’
...Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) on Friday said her Republican counterpart in the House provided an “excellent” analysis of the reasons why Congress couldn’t block President Obama’s immigration action through appropriations.
“I thought [House Appropriations Committee] Chairman Hal Rogers [R-Ky.] put out an excellent statement. I support his analysis.
Sorry, Kack...I’ll stand with Rep King and Sen Sessions, over Hal RINO Rogers and the Dims. Now...whether or not Bonehead will actually follow through with defunding ANY of 0bola’s lawless policies, is quite another thing.
We will see..
