The most important issue is missing from debate over the coming Obama administration’s “Executive Amnesty for illegal immigrants.”If such an action is taken without even an attempt at impeachment, we will mark that day as the day the U.S. Constitution was murdered.
Certainly some Constitutional forms will hold on another decade or two, but the relevance of Congress to federal policy making, Constitutional branch separation of powers generally, and ultimately the rule of law will be gone. Future generations of Americans will mark the Constitution as a dead letter from that day. Our American birth right to the rule of law and ordered liberty under the Constitution will have been traded for a blatant pursuit of power by any means necessary. Ultimately such power only comes from the barrel of a gun, and here only one side has guns.
That President Obama is dissolving the Constitution for a faster influx of non-white voters so he can dissolve the current declining white majority polity shows a deep love of power, and a deep hatred of any past or current American cultural institutions, that gets in the way of his power.
This isn’t new. Leftists in America have been heading down this road since before the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union started in the 1940’s.
What is new, and the real test here, is acquiescence of the opposition party (Republican) elected elites to this turn of events. They have preemptively surrendered the only real counter to this Executive usurpation of the Legislative power, impeachment of the President, for purported fear of a voter backlash and loss of their new majority in Congress.

It is over.
30 state legislatures against 1 arrogant dictator.
That could work. At the very least, it'd force Obama to show his hand as a true dictator. FWIW, these same states can put more chips on the table by authorizing large numbers of citizens (say, all those with handgun carry licenses) to automatically be part of their respective state militia (NOT the State National Guard, which can be federalized by Obama), and further authorize ANY member of the state militia to acquire, keep and bear full auto weapons. Imagine if 5 million people either bought full autos and/or happy switches? The unmistakable message would be: DON'T TREAD ON US!
Lawless officials begat a lawless citizenry. Tell me which ones I am bound to obey from here on out? The ones they enforce, all of them, or only the ones they can find out about?
That, and there has to be some disobedience from states to the feds, too. A state like Arizona can refuse to follow federal orders when the feds refuse to follow their own laws. The hell with those orders about treatment of immigrants. Pick them up, charge them with theft of state services and illegal entry into Arizona, and defy the stupid federal courts that say they can’t. When the lawlessness is so obvious and antithetical to the interests of the people, no one will blame the states for simply following the legally passed and binding laws of the land instead of the dictates of a tyrant.
Why do you think they're so keen on the NSA's domestic espionage program?
