WASHINGTON, D.C. -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi argues President Barack Obama has ample authority to take executive actions as many presidents before him have done, including President Abraham Lincoln. “Does the public know the Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order?” Pelosi asked reporters Thursday. “People have to understand how presidents have made change in our country, Congress catching up, and in the case of Ronald Reagan, improving what Congress has done.” Obama is poised to announce his long-anticipated executive actions on immigration Thursday night. Reports indicate he will move to grant legal status to about five million illegal immigrants.

Ok, what is your excuse for Lincoln's actions in Maryland?where he had arrested:

Mayor Brown, U.S. Congressman Henry May, the city council, the police commissioner, and the entire Board of Police, were arrested and imprisoned at Fort McHenry.”

oh! and THEN as if that were not enough!

quote “One third of the members of the Maryland General Assembly were then arrested on September 17, 1861, the first day of the legislature’s new session, to prevent any anti-war votes”

you see that? “to prevent any anti-war votes” !! ahhh Lincoln, what a GREAT GUY!!! *puke*
