He wasn't enforcing immigration laws before. What changed?

2 memos on immigration. He also had memos on ACA. He's going to the supreme court over the ACA mandated state exchanges.

Sure, he may be lawless, but he does have to leave a paper trail that can be used to stop him.

So, nothing changed. He's still not going to deport illegals. Just like he was doing before that toothless 'fact-sheet'.

A snake doesn’t “brawl”. Congress will have to seek the lowest levels to deal with Obama.

His executive Actions on Amnesty and ACA are happening now.

The Supremes could tell him to stop but I doubt that will stop his agencies filled with thousands of Gruber-types, from doing what they are being instructed to do by Obama.

Obama needs to be impeached and he needs to be removed. Anything short of that and you will see an executive branch executing its own laws.

Obama's agencies are now executing the 24 illegal changes that Obama made to the ACA. They will now be doing the same for Obama's new Amnesty rules.

You can keep thinking that nothing has changed, but Obama's executive agencies execute his lawless changes.

I have no problem with impeaching and removing him, except that I don't think Congress will do it.

But posting toothless 'fact sheets' that don't tell anyone in the executive branch to do anything doesn't help.

It's much better to stick with facts where he HAS directed the executive branch to break the law.

He can't be controlled over what he says. Just over what he does.

Not without written direction. And that 'fact sheet' doesn't direct the executive branch to do anything.

The reason the ACA is going in front of the Supreme Court is because he did direct unconstitutional behavior.

Brawlers are what the GOP needs.

Agreed. We need more lawmakers like Ted Cruz. My vote for POTUS in 2016.

You don't think he is issuing directives for Amnesty to his agencies? Do you think Obama posts all of his directives on his WH website?

The reason the ACA is going in front of the Supreme Court is because he did direct unconstitutional behavior.

Can you document all of Obama's unconstitutional directives on ACA?

Re: “Last of the Left”

Dream on, Conservatives.

There is no serious GOP plan to stop Amnesty or the massive number of LEGAL immigrants (1.1 million in 2013) who arrive in America each year.

There is no serious GOP plan to stop ObamaCare, just “Mend it, don't end it.”

There is no serious GOP plan to restrain spending or debt.

There is no serious GOP plan to deal with the unsustainable spending on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid - except to keep importing a million new low skill foreign workers each year.

In other words, the GOP leadership has no serious plan to stop the “Left” because our leadership basically supports the policies and the goals of the Left.

Don’t get your hopes up.

Boehner and McConnell are Establishment Republicans. They won’t do a damn thing to halt or reverse Obama’s imperial rule.

Harry Reid will have more power in the minority than he did in the majority, given that he’s up against weak fish like those two.

Funny how world leaders laugh at Obama, yet our Republicans cower in fear of him.

Certainly not presently with Reid in charge of hearings in the Senate.

However, you're not taking into account the inevitability of MORE Obama scandals.

Depending on what else comes to light and depending on if the people especially in blue dog areas want to get rid of him, impeachment and removal is still a possibility. We need 12 Senate Dems to agree to remove.

Obama doesn't use EOs. It's even worse than that. He issues directives to his agencies.

Aren't "his agencies" part of the executive branch? Aren't "directives" from the president "executive" orders?

Agreed. Cruz is about the only pubbie I’ll vote for. Bush, Romney, etc, I’m staying home again.

Semantics.

What's important is that the Constitution grants power to the president to issue orders to implement or execute federal laws.

The Constitution doesn't grant powers to the president to issue orders to implement new laws.

Maybe not, but unelected bureaucRATs have been doing exactly that for decades.

He’s just giving them “guidance”.
