Reading her obit has been on my bucket list for a long time.
Democrats really do have twisted minds
The Emancipation Proclamation was a tactic to cause a slave uprising in the south and border states, it did nothing to free the slaves in Union States. That took the 13th amendment.
The Legislative Branch — who the hell needs it?
Nanners is nuttier than squirrel poop.
Try 13th amendment , Dummy
an amendment to the Constitution ended slavery, does she think that was an EO too?
the traitor Lincoln also imprisoned members of congress who disagreed with him...
I guess you would support that too! huh Nancy! (she probably would as long as it was a democrat!)
Must need more workers for her vineyards...
lol Is that crazy old bitch finally getting senile too?
It was a SPEECH!
That sound you all just heard, were our founding fathers rolling over in their grave
Which is why it was only valid in states that were in the act of rebellion.
Congress later had to do a Constitutional Amendment otherwise it would not have been valid after the war ended.
Is Nancy dearest suggesting that the country is in a state of civil war?
Japanese internment was an executive order also.
Is Nancy saying that the 50 states are in rebellion against the United States because the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves who were in states that were in rebellion against the United States.
The national archives, which holds the Emancipation Proclamation, shows Pelosi’s argument about the document is a spurious deflection

and just as the proclamation freed only Southern slaves, so Obamacare is a sham designed for personal political benefit.
It was an executive order backed by a lot of discussion and legislation, which was obviously going to go nowhere unless the Dems decided to play ball...which they would not, because the Democrat Party was the party of slavery.
They love their snarky little false moral equivalency.
Remember ‘Jesus was a community unity organizer too’ during the 2008 campaign?
I’m surprised Natzy P. remembers to breathe. Looks like we’re gonna need to institute an IQ test for elected officials.
The Emancipation Proclamation was a war order and it only applied to the states in rebellion. Slavery was not outlawed in the United States...not until after the war I think.
Lincoln, iow, did not have the authority to end slavery.
And he knew it.
