It don't work that way. No government paper-pusher is going to risk his freedom and easy money on a verbal order. Gotta have an EO for the flunkies.

Obama can do this now. Democraps still run the senate so Harry Reid has 6 more weeks to provide cover. Obama isn’t done by a long shot. Immigration was the opening salvo.

Now the fun begins because the CR is to end on 12/11

Obama can do what? I haven't seen any action besides yammering from him.

You seen an EO?

How many here predicted just this type of leadership from the Republicans. Would rejecting a few rinos have made any difference at this point? But we were Reid, Obama, and Pelosi supporters because we predicted a weak Republican Congress would do more damage than throwing out some of the weak links. McConnell, and Boehner will give Obama everything he wants because they are scared to death of a government shutdown. Obama knows they are too frightened to fight so he is gloating over his unconstitutional action on illegal immigration by coming out this morning and saying he hoped the Republicans wouldn’t try to stop him due to a single disagreement. Someplace I am certain he is saying to Republican leaders, “Yeah, what are you going to do about it?” Unfortunately we know, they will grovel, and accuse each other. We already have a few highly placed rinos ultimately defending his actions by claiming Congress needs to pass an amnesty bill. I sincerely hope I will be eating these words in a couple weeks, but it doesn’t look good. The infighting is going to do even more damage to the party.

I'd like to see the States be proactive; push the issue: declare a state of invasion and start calling up their National Guard to address the situation while demanding the federal government honor Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution — this would bring everything to a head: either the States have the power to protect their citizens or they are wholly subservient to the federal government; either the federal government will honor the explicit and unambiguous words of the Constitution or they will not.

Would it cause a civil war?
I think only if the Federal Government tried to use military might against the States that would exercise their sovereignty.

“Republican Party Cowards”

Referencing the two-word phrase “Republican Party” and the word “Cowards”.....

I HATE redundancy!

Makes you wonder if all of these people are more angry at Obama or the GOP for not hanging him from a tree because he said stuff.

Nothing has been done to even target. But damn the GOP for not having him arrested within 24 hours.

And btw, where are all of the conservatives in the peanut gallery? Should not we be in the streets? There seems to be lots of us that can complain behind a keyboard.

I don't care at all about the Republican party. I'm a conservative, not a Republican. That party needs to go the way of the Whigs if it can't get conservative.

It is worth noting that the house has ALREADY passed immigration bills that he and Reid wouldn't accept.

I was out last election, working to get rid of liberal Republicans in my State government.

Slowly, that is working. Now it's time for Cornyn and Straus. That will take some time.

Interesting theory, but I do not believe paper pushers are smart enough to ask to see the actual EO before swinging into action. Especially since its in their personal interest to do so.

Besides, who's gonna prosecute a paper pusher for acting on what they believe is their job?

He needs an EO to do anything. There isn't an EO. Lots of arm-waving, but no EO.

But since time is of the essence here, whats to stop the government machine from acting as if there is an EO?

Whether or not there is certainly won't stop the avalanche at the border coming in response, at least.

You don't deal with the south-of-the-border types daily, obviously. They won't be rushing the border any more than they already have, until everything is nailed down.

Time is only of the essence to you, apparently. I'm ok with waiting forever for him to promulgate an unlawful EO. Time wasn't important to the Dems, back when they had the house and senate.

If they see a chance to stampede the low-info republican types, they will take advantage of that.

The contentious nature of your response aside, I guess we'll both have to wait a few weeks to see if any definite action by the federal government materializes in support of the president's declaration.

I suspect we won't have to wait that long.

There was no EO. That would drive actual action.

The GOP morons chided Obama for taking most of the military options off the table in dealing with ISIS yet they have essentially the same thing in dealing with Obama. ISIS neither fears or respects the US and Obama neither fear or respect the GOP, both with good reason.

I imagine Boehner is drunk by now and having a good cry....
