ANybody here that thinks CONgress will do anything substantial against Amnesty or ANY other Scandal IRS,Benghazi,Fast and Furious... too many to list, our President Has Created is just plain crazy. Nothing of the sort will happen, it would have Happened already, there is more than enough evidence to prove guilt in all these cases. NOBODY HAS GONE TO PRISON. As far as I can tell the Republican Leadership is and will remain COMPLICIT in the Lawlessness that is just plain staggering to most Americans. Hell the Leadership began sowing the deeds of defeat on Election Night AFTER they won in Landslide Victories All Across the Country. Short of a Complete Repudiation of The Republican Leadership by a Large Percentage of true AMERICANS in CONgress, What can Mere Citizens do against an Emperor?
Ok, now what do we do?

I haven’t had my fill of whining yet.
I posted this in another thread...
I’ve been thinking of all the options that Congress has in this situation and I can think of only the following lawful alternatives:
1) IMPEACH ( which will be useless since we do not have the numbers to convict and remove ).
2) POWER OF THE PURSE, which will again result in a test of wills ultimately resulting in another government shutdown.
Other than those two, I can only think of a third peaceful option....
A type of under-reaction (yes you read it right). It is simply a detached acknowledgment of the president’s ploy, coupled with a tone that suggests Congress’ intention to make it irrelevant.
Draft an immigration bill that makes sense, and do it very early in 2015 so every GOP presidential candidate can run on it.
Newly elected and incumbent Republicans should be working on it right now and straight through the holidays so that the first big story of the new year can be the best response conservatives can muster— not the doomed drama of impeachment or a flurry of well-intentioned but probably equally doomed lawsuits, but a POSITIVE AGENDA that will bring additional Americans on board for a Republican wave lasting the rest of the decade.
It can be phrased with a simplicity that will resonate with even the least-informed voter: Confirmable border security first, then a gradual non-amnesty path toward legal status for non-criminals with a willingness to assimilate.
This will means English fluency in addition to fines and back taxes. BUT ONLY AFTER BORDERS HAVE BEEN MADE SECURE.
Not one of them moves one day toward legal status until we get that full year of demonstrable border security. No deals, and no surrender. No legal status in return for the promise of border security— we have been hosed too many times. Secure border first, then we begin step one of the path to legal status.
Barack Obama will veto this, invoking as many heart-rending anecdotes as he can pack into his terse refusal. He will thus become The President of No, obstructing the first immigration reforms real majorities of Americans— and both houses of Congress— can embrace.
LET HIM. At least the American people shall have been given a clear and discernible choice.
Other than that, I can’t think of any better option short of revolution.
“There’s a humming in the restless summer air...”
But if taken in toto, these scandals will take their toll. The tide is turning.
When y’all decide to get serious and head to DC with an army, give me a shout. Until then, I’m gonna sit back and laugh at all the RINO lovers who think somehow someway the GOPe is going to do something about this.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States
WARNING: The U.S. Constitution has been compromised. This will not stand!
There's a long wait where a train don't come.
Anyone that votes for a liberal republican is a liberal.

nothing, the president is as powerful or more so than a king IF the congress wont check his power with their own.
And since they refuse to do so, we now have king that can do ANYTHING.
The Obama voters are finally getting what they voted for. On election day I had a Black guy complaining how the Mexicans came in and took over. They took the jobs, they get everything gave to them [foodstamps, housing, medical, welfare, etc.] they don’t pay taxes, on and on for about 15 minutes. It made my day , in fact, it made my year. The only thing missing was that he could not connect the dots and realize that it was his voting for and supporting the Democrat Party that brought it about.
Starve the beast.
Founders were geniuses, but I question this 2 month period after electoral defeat when they can scorch the earth before leaving office!
Simple answer. It's been done before. But, most don't want to go there. So we sit and eventually accept the unthinkable.
Conserve your ammo. Clean and practice because sooner, rather than later this house of cards is going to collapse. when it does just hold your position while they kill each other off. Then take care of who is left. And remember: Nits make lice.
Concur.
Up to this point in time it is standing. By the time the Republicans take control of Congress, the media will ensure that it has been forgotten.
We need to remove impeachment from the Constitution; the framers made it an impossible hurdle. The framers should have defined “natural born citizen” too. The framers left out so much and did not predict the eventual mobs, like what Paris had in the days of the kings.
