Sessions: Obama Making Congress ‘A Museum Piece’

Nationalreview.com ^ | 16 Jan 2015 | Joel Gehrke

[W.]

Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) urged colleagues not to oppose the House-passed legislation blocking President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, warning that Congress will be “a museum piece” if they do.

“A vote against the House bill is a vote to turn the Congress into a museum piece,” Sessions said Friday following a congressional retreat in which it become apparent that Republicans are nervous about using the Department of Homeland Security funding as leverage to stop the immigration policies.

“A ‘no’ vote is to acquiesce to the greatest erosion of Congress’ lawmaking authority in my lifetime.

Business as usual for the you-know-what. A comment:

"The viewing galleries on Capitol Hill should be packed with spectators on a daily basis and the elected, self-anointed ones must be made to know exactly why. And it's not that far from manning the galleries to holding the pitchforks!"

[Tennessee Nana]

well there are still some antiquities serving in congress ...

Harry Reid for one..

[EBH]

Sadly, I disagree.

Obama is NOT making congress a museum piece.

Congress is doing it all themselves by being to scared to dethrone the usurper and his regime.

[dforest]

Dittos to that.

Congress is also shirking their oaths to the people by allowing Obama to become a dictator.

[Cowboy Bob]

Congress is afraid of opposing Obama. Why?

They are afraid of being called “Racists.”

By whom?

White people, mostly.

Blacks make up 12% of the population. Why is 88% of the population afraid of 12% that have never done anything, and can’t survive without handouts (welfare) from the majority.

I just wish someone would stand up and say “Yes, I’m racist...so what?” Jesse Jackson used to shake down Wall Street and demand money, or he would accuse them of being racists. One company finally stood up to him...and now Jesse doesn’t shake down Wall Street.

I do see the day coming when politicians will tell the Blacks to STFU when they cry “racism.” As more and more white people flee the Democrat Party, and as the Democrat Party becomes the Black Panther Party, their rants and complaints will fall on death ears.

I am so sick and tired of our elected officials quivering and peeing in their pants because 12% of the population is making demands upon them.

[sargon]

Blacks make up 12% of the population. Why is 88% of the population afraid of 12% that have never done anything, and can’t survive without handouts (welfare) from the majority.

OK, so the entire black population (12%) has "never done anything, and can’t survive without handouts (welfare) from the majority"?

[W.]

Yes, and the old farts on Capitol Hill grow wealthier supposedly doing s low-buck job. Disgusting how Washington has been corrupted by greedy idiots who are concerned only with money and power.

[W.]

The liberals have successfully transferred their white guilt by parroting it, using Goebbel’s theory of repeating a lie often enough and it is taken as fact. I offer as an example once recently catching myself almost not wanting to ‘lick the beaters’ as they had raw eggs in the baking mix. For a moment I forgot my childhood of living for such things, and never falling ill from it... Now from where did I ever get that mindset?

[ronnie raygun]

The cowards are sitting back and allowing this imposter to do this, are they being influenced by outside criminals foreign and domestic?

[Diogenesis]

Obama thought he would have to remove the Congress,
but the EXEMPT are SO selfserving, SO greedy,
SO treasonous, that the EXEMPT just laid on the floor
and eagerly licked his rear end, in unison with the
Weeper of the House.

[Hostage]

Last December Boehner knew the defunding of Executive Amnesty would fail as ultimately Obama would veto it.

As of the end of next month DHS is defunded but I don’t think it will have any effect.

The only effectively immediate forces that could stop the consequences of Executive Amnesty are preliminary injunction motions in federal courts. I don’t believe even a mass rallying of Americans in aggressive demonstrations would stop the absorption of 5 to 10 million foreign aliens into the American system.

Senator Sessions is a rare principled member of Congress who should be Senate Majority Leader but is not because of the financial persons behind the US Chamber of Commerce and other left-wing financiers who are opposed to American conservatism.

[Rodamala]

DHS should not exist. Defund it forever.

[CheneyClone]

0bama tells congress if they won’t take action then he will, he’s got a pen and a phone.

0bama tells congress to take no action, to hold their fire, give him more time.

The lack of a backbone or leadership in congress is making them irrelevant.

.....the old farts on Capitol Hill grow wealthier. Disgusting how Washington has been corrupted by greedy lawmakers who are concerned only with money and power.....

CASE IN POINT: The US Postal Service plans to sell 56 buildings — the real estate company of Sen Finestein's husband, Richard Blum, is set to pocket about $1 billion in commissions.

Blum’s company, CBRE, was selected in March 2011 as the sole real estate agent on sales expected to fetch $19 billion.----Blum is on CBRE’s board and served as chairman from 2001 to 2014. This feat of federal spousal support was ignored after Feinstein’s office said the senator, whose wealth is pegged at $70 million, had nothing to do with the USPS decisions. (NY POST --PAGE SIX)

=================================================

CASE IN POINT---DUMBOCRATS' LAST HURRAH----WALKING WOUNDED AFTER MIDTERM DEFEAT---The calculating Sen Diane Feinstein (Dem-Cali) made a show of the CIA's supposed use of torture. Di/Fi calculatedly cherry-picked the CIA terror report. She used the torture report as a slapdown---as a weapon to save her Dumbocrat ***......... to stop the CIA's investigation of her dirty arms-related deals.

BACKSTORY: Back in Sept 2014, Senate intel head Di/Fi was whining about the CIA looking through her computers and taking documents. Clearly, the CIA had plenty on her----even BEFORE the shocking Chi/Com missile scandal broke.

Di/Fi's known aversion to guns did not prevent her from honoring Lee's co-defendant, Raymond Chow---Chow is the key figure in Cali's Demorat state Sen Leland Yee's shocking missile deal w/ China (Yee is a notorious grabber of American guns).

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:

<><>Feinstein heads the Senate Intel Committee;

<><> Her hubby Richard Blum made million as the lawyer for Chinese interests;

<><> gun-grabber Leland Yee knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc;

<><> Co-conspirator Raymond Chow was jailed, then freed when he professed to be a “really nice guy”.... honored by Di/Fi for working with local Chinese youths.

====================================================

EVERYBODY KNOWS THE DI/FI STORY COULD DWARF YEE'S ARMS DEAL: Taxpayers demand and investigation of Di/Fi's intel activities.

<><> Did Di use her access to valuable US security data improperly?

<><> Hubby Richard Blum made millions in China deals in past years. How'd he do that?

<><> Is hubby cutting new deals w/ the Chi/Coms?

"... a congressional retreat in which it become apparent that Republicans are nervous about using the Department of Homeland Security funding as leverage to stop the immigration policies."

GOP = Obama = GOP - what difference does it make now, screech Dame Hillary.

The nervous Republicans are the same ones who voted for this just one month ago. We told them it was stupid, but they knew better.

We oughta officially change the name of the GOP to the Country Club Party (Members Only). They represent themselves and no one else. What's good for the Country Club is good for America. Yeah!

You know, this is the last chance for the GOP, home of the Bush's (GW, W and JEB), Juan "war is my first option" McCain, Chris Christie, Lindsey Graham, Romney, Rubio (I'll betray you once, twice, three times), the Maine Girl's, Flake (no need to pun here) and a whole host of lying, scheming, phonies. I'm just surprised they're going full suicide bomber so quickly. I'd thought they'd try to hide. But I guess they are convinced that the last election showed, that people have no where else to go.

Those are famous last words for innumerable politicians, products and companies.

Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu, Buenos Noches, Good-bye.

Review the Pat Caddell poll at leisure in your retirement.

Palin save the country, start a new party.

Sessions, as much as I like him is wrong...they are letting it happen as they haven’t the courage to call out the sleeper c3ll in the WH.

[W.]

My calculator says 56 buildings divided by $19 billion is $339.2 million each. Where are these postal Taj Mahals at, anyway?

[W.]

I say it’s time for politicians to sign a pre-nup financial agreement. You leave with your salary earned, and that’s it, and don’t let us catch you with an overage, or else. And we should strip all the pols of their ill-gotten gains, past and present as well, every last dime! And one wonders why a person spends millions to get a job paying a low six-figure salary...

[Jabba the Nutt]

Instapundit has a proposed tax to take 50% of the earnings of politicians, staff and administration employees, when the switch over to lobbying. They’re making their money based on what they learned in government and their connections. They profit, we pay. Enough.
