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.

If this Congress allows itself to be neutered, what is to come will be on their heads.
Yes, the hour of truth approaches.
I have read dozens of newspaper articles from the Civil War era that say the exact same thing about A. Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus and the arrest (censorship) of hostile members of the news media of the day.
Yet somehow through those terrible times, and many since then, the Constitution still perseveres and remains relevant. Don't give in to the hopelessness peddled by these drama queens who are only looking to stir up controversy for their own purpose.
The Constitution will continue to endure because of We the American People, not because one marxist, dog-eating faggot in Washington DC says otherwise.
I think it died a while ago by now.
Coming?!
The Constitution isn't being murdered , its under assault with certain laws being ignored altogether , and some bureaus 'over-reaching' their prescribed duties.
It's time for Congress (Senate and House) to stand and deliver ,..or resign !
If the sytem of checks and balances gets broken , ..it is Congress' fault.
I don't quite agree. There is no point in attempting impeachment over executive orders (or just about anything else with the corrupt democrats holding 45 seats in the Senate). Impeachment will fail, and failures are rarely useful. Congress should pass such narrow and parsimonious spending bills that there is no money that can be lawfully used on this unlawful power grab or on any other unilateral executive actions. We need to starve the Beast - stop feeding portions of FedGov that are not specifically authorized under the Enumerated Powers.
What is this Constitution of which you speak? It sounds nice. We should get one.
You can’t defund amnesty. This is going to permanatly change the demographics of the country. It’s ball game.
We need the judicious use of tar and feathers once again.
You can defund anything that gives Obama’s lawless actions permanence. That’s a good start. Failure to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed is something we have to tolerate, but we can deny criminals any paperwork that documents Obama’s indifference to the rule of law.
It’s been dead for years.
You’re right. After what both parties have done for the last hundred years, the best the Constitution can hope for from them is a mercy killing.
Ranting!! The Congressional leadership has allowed the fraud to stay in the WH and now they are going to allow him to write law. The Congressional leaderships continual neglect to enforce Constitutional Law on this muslim fraud in the WH will more than likely result in some very ugly times befalling this country. So it appears it may be a TWOFER, Martial Law declared in MO and the reaffirming coronation of America’s first dictator.
Take a note from Singapore. Send all the libtards to one of their Socialist Utopias. Their choice. Venezuala, Cuba, or North Korea. Pick one.
The murder happened long ago.
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.” ~ Lysander Spooner
“The man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, ‘Limit yourself’; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian.” ~ Rothbard
1st: repeal the 17th amendment.
2nd: ELIMINATE, DOE, DOE, EPA, IRS
FOR STARTERS
Here is what should immediately happen.
States like Arizona should go into emergency session and pass legislation in their states explicitly denying these illegal aliens access to state programs and services, essentially refusing to recognize Obama's executive order.
State can cite Article I Section 8 "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;" and say that Obama's actions are unconstitutional because: 1) they are not uniform, and 2) the power belongs to Congress, and the states are following the laws passed by Congress.
When Obama pushes back like he did the last time in Arizona, the states can say that the Courts already ruled that there needs to be one set of laws for all the states to follow, and that set comes from Congress.
Get as many states as possible to rush through this legislation, and make Obama fight all the state legislatures and governors over this.
30 state legislatures against 1 arrogant dictator.
Take the fight to Obama via the authority of the states.
