As he has promised to do for months, President Obama launched a broadside against the U.S. Constitution last night, introducing a plan to enact executive amnesty despite having zero legal authority to do so under our founding document’s Article II, Sect. 2 powers governing the Executive Branch. So much for swearing to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

What do they care? No one represents the American people. No one!
“No one represents the American people. No one!”
Dead right, no one!
We should disband Congress. It represents Mexico far more than it represent Americans!
According to the GOP, Congress cannot protect us from tyranny in any way, so why have it? Why are we paying for an institution of government that does not represent us and cannot protect our liberties?
“As he has promised to do for months...”
Exactly. Meaning, the GOPe had months to prepare an immediate and definitive response to the wannabe emperor.
The only immediate was the whine. The only thing definitive was the cowardice at responding to a Constitutional crisis.
I think it’s very apparent now that bipartisanship is only an illusion. Now there are only three major categories of people in the U.S: citizen producers, citizen takers / recipients, and elites. The politicians are in the elites group and the only way you can bring them back to reality is remove them from office.
What now? Lol. We do the same thing we always do: bend over and take it up the tailpipe. What’s different with this than with Obolacare? No difference. Both a major swipe at the COnstitution. We did nothing then. We’ll do nothing now.
It’s NOT that he is violating the Constitution, it’s that he actively engaged in a plan to harm America. Impeachable? If treason isn’t impeachable NOTHING is.
WE won’t know until later this afternoon. All that announcement stuff last night...words, just words.
What we really need to see is not the speech, but the thing he is signing today with all the details. The speech last night was a distraction, people won’t read what he signs today and there could be/will be significant differences.
He is counting on the voters to be stupid again, take him at his word, not fact check him...watch...
However you can argue that there is no crisis as the GOPe actually supports the Regime's actions. The GOPe wanted amnesty, but now they have got what they wanted without having to take a stand by actually voting for it. The GOPe can pander to conservatives with their whining, while patting themselves on the back for their good fortune.
Obama knows full well the supine Republican leadership will make a lot of noise but effectively accomplish little. Despite the recent election Obama has re-taken control of the government because his ideology (and ego) drives him while the Republican 'leadership' is to comfortable with the status quo to seriously attempt stopping Obama.
Welcome to the U.S. Banana Republic.
Spot on!
Orders federal workers to break existing law.
I just cannot understand how any Republican in the House or Senate could possibly elect either of those two as their leader.
It’s an Executive Action - which indicates a suggestion.
If this becomes an Executive Order then Congess has 90 days to pass a Bill, which is then Vetoed and then Congress over-rides the Veto.
Don’t want it? Apply pressure to the House / Senate
mConnell is saying his and the senate’s job is to “fund” government, cochran the new “Appropiations committee” chairman says he will not attempt to stop funding obama’s illegal amnesty order, ready to deprive Senator Jeff sessions of a committee chairmanship. Before the election republicans were campaging to stop obama and obamacare and his illegal amnesty, not three weeks from the election they are saying we are here to serve obama. Thank God for the few real Conservative Republicans we have left.
This is a two-tier society with respect to Law.
The People and the EXEMPT.
One VERY IMPORTANT ITEM is being missed here, folks.
Obama just handed MILLIONS of illegals the Earned Income Tax Credit Subsidy. They will not be paying taxes.
But YOU will...
