I don't condone anti-self government talk either. We had a revolution to achieve self-goverment -- remember? If our democratically enacted laws are ignored by the chief executive -- whoever that is -- then we no longer have a republic or self-government. That is what is a stake in this debate.

The legislative authority of our government is vested in the people which we exercise through our elected representatives. Our founders gave us a remedy for a President who refuses to fuflfill his oath of office and enforce these laws and whether you like it or not that remedy is impeachment. I'm not willing to give up on our 200 plus year experiment in republican self-government for the sake of "supporting" this President or any other one who betrays the American people's right to decide matters like immigration through their democratically enacted laws.

BRAVO, well written and so on point.
Mr Bush will speak to the Nation on immigration this Monday night..I fear we will hear another : "We must have a guest worker program that leads to citizenship family values do not end at the border", with nothing about securing the border..He is putting the rope of impeachment around his own neck if he continues this OPEN BORDERS support..I hope and Pray he heeds the will of the people and avoids any risk of impeachment-but the ball is in his court.
