"I think the Republicans will lose in court if they go to court. The president clearly has the discretion to tell the Justice Department who he wants to deport and who he wants to not deport, where he wants the emphasis to be, it's clearly within his rights. But more than that, if the Republican party can't control itself, if they, in fact, shut down the government because of this, they'll pay a heavy price. If, in fact, they say, we're not going to do anything about immigration, because the president took this action, they'll look like spoiled children. They'll pay a heavy price. If in fact they say, we're not going to meet the president halfway about anything because he did this, they'll pay a heavy price."

Bring it.
Will the GOPe leadership take advice from this democrat, or will they take advice from MSNBC? I’m not optimistic - unless Ted Cruz forces them to do the right thing.
We are already paying a heavy price. Held nose, voted for McCain. Held nose, voted for Mitt. THEY BOTH LOST! The reach-across-the-aisle RINOs (palatable to the Democrats) LOST. I’m not taking advice from a Dem nor RINO on how to “win” an election. We are already paying the price. The entire Country will be paying the price.
I have a few choice words for the former governor of my home state, but I won’t use them here. I don’t want to be banned.
I’m curious to know if the White House visitor log shows many visits from John McCain and Grahamnesty shortly before this act.
Grind them into the ground!!!!
Yeah, they paid a horrific price for the shutdown last year. /sarc
Email I sent to my congresswoman and both senators today (all Repubs):
Dear ____,
I am writing to express my disgust at the utterly unconstitutional and therefore illegal actions by Barack Obama last night. But I think the Republicans disgust me even more, because they’ve taken the only true constitutional remedy to executive tyranny, impeachment, off the table. If Republicans now do nothing to stop this criminal, they’re less than useless, and he may as well declare himself the emperor they’re letting him become. Needless to say, if this stands, I’ll never vote for another Republican again.
Oh, like they did in the past election?
Memo To Fast Eddie: Shut up and go have another cheesesteak...
If the court says he can, they are corrupt!!!
It will cost them the 2016 elections.
But the time has come for it.
What Dems and RINOs are up for election in the House and Senate for 2016?
Is this “Fast Eddie” Rendell from PA we’re talking about?
Shut it down!
That’s what everyone from Obama to Rove to Brit Hume and Chas. Krauthammer said last December when Obama shut down the government and wouldn’t let the school kids and WWII vets tour their capital. This November the GOP won in a landslide. Can we junk that old media shibboleth now?
If the President has the power, why hasn’t he ordered DOJ and DEA not to arrest and prosecute drug smugglers, dealers and users? Why hasn’t he stopped prosecution of a myriad of CRIMES?
Wholesale discretion for large groups is not within his purview, IMO.
As for what happens to the GOP if they try to stop him, Rendell is dreaming, frankly. And, that is why they (liberals and rabid RINOs) are trying to dissuade the GOP from acting.
If you defund/reduce Obama’s core LIVs (SNAPS, TANF, WICs, SECTION 8, EITC, et al) and you tell them the reason is those 5 million illegals, they’re gonna start thinking right where they should be.
If you can count them, you can deport them. If you give them work permits, you can yank them and deport them. As far as I’m concerned the first Republican running for President that comes out and says he’ll invalidate Hussein’s EO at 12:01 PM January 21, 2017 is one I’ll vote for.
Yea...that’s the ticket: Taking advice from a really dim DIMocRAT. I hope they close it down. However, I think they will roll over and even refuse the Vaseline.
I agree on one point this moonbat said, Obama does have some discretion on deportations. What he has no discretion on is creating green cards and issuing SS cards. Funny the Dem screechers all leave that part out.
