President Obama's announcement tonight may bring a “constitutional crisis,” in the words of Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), but Republicans in Congress haven't the damndest idea what they'll do about it.
As they departed the House floor, many en route to the airport for a Thanksgiving recess, many GOP lawmakers seemed as interested in explaining why options floated by colleagues from their own party wouldn't work as denouncing what they describe as an unprecedented power grab by a president they just decimated at the ballot box.
“That's the hundred million dollar question,” said Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-OH), “How do you stop an inaction? That's the tough question that I don't have the answer to today....Just to go a step further: 'shut the government down.' That doesn't stop this inaction. Don't fund immigration service. That doesn't stop this inaction. How do you stop this inaction?”

Why?
See my tag line.
What do you expect from the other half of the District of Criminal's Uni-Party?
It really is time for a conservative, independent US version of UKIP!
Any one, and I mean, any one, who puts their faith and money into the Pubbies, is a fool.
An unfettered tyranny in the US is coming in 2017 and the Pubbies will be more than happy to just stand by and let it happen. Just watch.
What tag line?
It’s a good thing we get out the vote for the RINOs. I mean, if we were to withhold our vote from the Liberals with Rs after their names, I bet Obama would be able to get away with anything!
I think you’re ASSUMING way too much.
Until the new Congress is in power in January .. there is very little they can do at the moment. What ever they might try to do in the House will be stopped in the Senate.
Stop jumping to conclusions .. before you have any facts to back up your statements.
AND .. HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY “DON’T” HAVE A PLAN ..?? MAYBE .. FOR ONCE, THEY HAVE LEARNED TO KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE DOING .. TO KEEP THE LEFT GUESSING.
I LOVE IT.
Up the thorazine Jack.
I’m not saying I know “the plan” but who would discuss it in the press if there were a plan?
Besides, what’s wrong with not having a plan right when you want one? Why not wait until they hear from constituents?
Seems like you’re trying to discourage FReepers.
What's my point? The "self-paying" argument makes no sense now if it didn't then. Why do the Republicans let Obama write their talking points? Have they ever stood for anything in their lives, except for their paymasters?
They don’t want to
Because they left town for Thanksgiving?
Do you want them to run to the White House and start firing guns at the damn place?
Most of them had already left, but we on FR somehow was expecting some sort of storming of the White House after Impeachment within 24 minutes!
Here is an idea: GET OFF THE DAMN COMPUTER AND START PHONING EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL YOU CAN REACH! You know, like many of us had already done while some of you were looking for another article to blow up on.
They can at least try to fight, this is pathetic.
We need a re-vote because it is a damn shame that these guys won the election
The plan is to let Obama increase the un-Constitutional power and reach of the executive as far as he wants.
I disagree with you. You are jumping the gun.
They’ve kept their mouths shut the whole time Obama has been in office.
The GOP stands for G.IVE O.BAMA P.OWER.
Always has.
What tag line?
Lol... maybe Jack's tagline is representative of the GOPe *Leadership*.... INVISIBLE!!!
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO: You go to the Senate/House websites and you find out what their phone numbers are .. and you call them DAILY IF YOU HAVE TO .. just in order to make them understand we expect them to support and defend America and her LAWS.
Here’s the main switchboard - 202-224-3121202-224-3121 - ask for any representative or senator. Be smart .. have your question or statement written down .. practice it so you won’t be nervous. Don’t call anybody foul names (even though you might want to), and make it short and to the point. AND, call at a different time of day each time.
If you’re not willing to do that .. then you have no argument.
A REPUBLIC (we are not a democracy) is of THE PEOPLE. Except, if the people lay down on the job and don’t tell their elected what they expect; the REPUBLIC will no longer exist.
Oooops....I now see your *new* tagline ;-)
