Obama: If Congress Blocks My Iran Deal, I’ll Ignore The Law & Do It Anyway
http://rightwingnews.com/legal/obama-if-congress-blocks-my-iran-deal-ill-ignore-the-law-do-it-anyway/ ^

How very fascist. So, Obama is saying that if Congress doesn’t play ball on approving the Iran deal, he might just go ahead and do it anyway. That violates the Constitution and the law. Technically he can’t do it – oh, but he will. Notice how Kerry sidestepped the issue? If Obama does this and isn’t made to answer for it or stopped, that’s the end of our Constitutional Republic and the actual beginning of a dictatorship. Even if a conservative is elected in 2016, by then $150 to 200 billion will have gone to Iran, effectively arming our enemies for our destruction. This president has gone rogue and we must reign him in – legally and physically if need be.

FROM THE BLAZE:

"Following a White House meeting, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) seemingly suggested this week that President Barack Obama might be prepared to go “beyond what’s allowed by law” to push through the Iran nuclear deal.

The Hill reported Wednesday that Sherman said Obama appeared ready to ignore Congress if members don’t sign off on the deal. The comments came after the president invited top Democrats to the White House to give them a personal presentation on the Iran deal.

“The main meat of what he said is, ‘If Congress overrides my veto, you do not get a U.S. foreign policy that reflects that vote. What you get is you pass this law and I, as president, will do everything possible to go in the other direction,’” Sherman said, according to The Hill.

“He’s with the deal — he’s not with Congress,” the California congressman added. “At least to the fullest extent allowed by law, and possibly beyond what’s allowed by law.”

According to The Hill, Sherman suggested Obama may just refuse to enforce the law.

Sherman, who has appeared skeptical of the deal, previously grilled Secretary of State John Kerry about whether the administration would follow the “law” if Congress moved to override a veto to block the deal.

At the time, Kerry ducked the question, saying he was “not going to deal with a hypothetical.”

When you eliminate impeachment as a possibility and both sides of the political aisle are complicit in a Marxist agenda, you get this type of behavior. Obama is a narcissist with delusions of grandeur and a pen and a phone. Of course he won’t obey the law… he’ll flaunt it whenever he can get away with it. If leaders won’t go along with him, he’ll blackmail them or use leverage of some sort against them to get these so-called leaders to see things his way. This type of bowing before our enemies such as Iran, Russia and China will get millions of Americans killed. Obama knows and doesn’t care. This is treason you are watching unfold in the Oval Office.

good to see another RINO leave. Ive only been here a short time and have learned to just skip past your liberal dribble. I guess the first amendment only applies to you.

As long as the flaccid congress and senate refuse to impeach and convict this criminal, he can and will do anything he wants.

It’s as simple as that.

Whenever I post, I consider how my post will affect the reputation of Free Republic.

Remember, an edgy post can be screen-captured by a troll before the mod’s can take it down. Then that post can be used across the Internet to smear this site. I've seen that happen.

I'm not advocating self-censdorship at all. But a post here reflects on more than just the poster.

Just something to think about.

the Muslim radicals will rise up. The POS will impose maritial law and there is no elections take place. lets just wait and see what will happen. Up here in the North the wasps and hornets have been building their nests at the lowest points

So, you're implying that the stinging-insect terrorist cells are also gearing up.

“Michelle could step in. This country is so messed up that she’d probably win the general election.”

Either the imposter or mooch could win the next election, I think they’re way too comfortable with every single perk that they can soak America for and will much resist evacuating their current public housing arrangement.

It's not a treaty.

It's a private agreement between the Mullahs and Obama.

I see your point. I understand the frustration some of us have, and should not be put to print. There is nothing that can or will be done for the lawlessness the leaders of our nation have displayed. The bad part is that the “checks” part of the Balances, are in it together. Mark my words...Nothing will be done. For example: fast and furious, IRS, Bengazi, etc. Lots of meetings and no convictions.

March and fight in the streets.
If congress won’t we should.

He's baiting us, if a number of conservatives "take to the streets", expect him to declare "Martial Law" and release DHS to start rounding up the "domestic terrorists".

A campaign of subtle moves would work better then a rock throwing riot in the streets. Become sand in the gears of his administration...

You're right about that, and I see your point as well. We can't even vote the bums out. With few exceptions, money and power decide modern American elections. These truly are very frustrating times.

Oh, I’m still here. But you’ll note that post 28 is not.

You might want to rethink your definition of RINO, and your understanding of the First Amendment as well.

Or are you just skipping past my “liberal dribble” again?

I agree. It takes some intestinal fortitude to call out some of the bigger jerks in here when they go over the line...

The time has come to start interdicting this jackass. When he speaks of breaking the law and proceeding with what he wants, the Republicans better start standing in his way. This clown has been doing this for 6 and 1/2 years and it’s time it’s stopped.

He has already said he’ll ignore the law. Where is the Republican with enough fortitude to tell him no you will not ignore the law. If you do we’ll be down on you this time.

Good point. And not just the reputation, but the quality of the discussions.

Just as bad money drives out good in economic theory, bad commentary drives out good in policy discussions.

Responsible people don’t want to be associated with commentary that goes beyond the pale. If comments like that are allowed to stand, responsible people will leave and you’ll be left with sewage comments.

The Left hasn’t quite figured this out and will allow nearly everything to stand on some sites. The result it a collection of comments not worth reading because responsible liberals (yes, they exist) just bow out rather than be associated with the existing comments.

For a long time I have believed that this President wants to be IMPEACHED.

I believe that it is part of his hatred. He is humiliating the Repubs and enjoying it. And yes, the sympathy he would get for being impeached would give him power, al la riots and protests.

then Congress should simply declare War on Iran

Devious to the max. You must have been a democrat at one time to learn how to fight like that. Our losers would never be so cleaver.

There is no other explanation for his action and comments.

WRONG!.. He is a MUSLIM who the American people ELECTED and now he is running FULL SCALE interference for his RADICAL MUSLIM brothers while everyone mumbles and grumbles, but does NOTHING for fear of being called a RACIST.

Take a look at the proposed Iran agreement. He is GIVING them nearly 20 BILLION dollars in cash, gold and other contingencies. He is in effect.. FINANCING TERRORISM with our tax dollars.

Worse.

He is equipping an Islamic enemy with nukes and finances to ensure the deaths of millions of Americans and our allies by their hand.

The 'agreement' itself provides that we secure, protect and interdict any attempts to stop the Iranian nuke program and/or their development of ICBM delivery systems - which are intended for US here. (SCUDs can hit all of Israel, ICBMs are for use on American soil).

The math is not hard to anyone with any common sense left.

Obama is handing a terrorist regime the money and means to wipe out "The Great Satan".

Fact. Screw discourse when our heads and those of our children have all been handed over by this cretin in the White House to our enemies on a silver platter WE ARE PAYING FOR.

In short, we are funding our own genocide that Obama has single-handedly established.
