Above is a video from Napolitano basically saying this is impossible but we’ve seen Congress do all sorts of legal and illegal tricks (remember the healthcare bill shenanigans?) so who knows how it will play out.
He’s too stupid to be an idiot.
Epic fail...epic...
When elected officials publicly say something so contrary to the Constitution they should be tried for treason. He is violating his oath of office. He is an enemy of the Constitution and should be tried and if convicted, shot for treason.
The money flow is the life blood to a politician. The Conservative can survive but the Liberal is lost. The argument is that the Fed-Gov spends too much and the Dems are desperate to maintain that the Fed-Gov needs to keep spending at this current rate. Take this argument to the people.
That’s right Jimmy, let’s have the Kenyan guy continue to trample on OUR Constitution.
Lincoln didn’t free any slaves, with the possible exception of his wife’s pair. the emacipation proclamation only referred to slaves in state in open rebellion - where Lincoln had no authority. slavery ended with teh 14th ammendment, passed AFTER his death.
Stamp Act of 1773
The word Unbefrickinlievable is becoming trite, but it fits these assclowns every time.
GO FOR IT KING OBAMA!!!!! That ought to cement your reelection chances.
Clyburn has been ready for a rubber room for a long time.
Lincoln issued the Proclamation under his authority as "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" under Article II, section 2 of the United States Constitution.[3] As such, he had the martial power to suspend civil law in those states which were in rebellion. He did not have Commander-in-Chief authority over the four slave-holding states that had not seceded: Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware. The Emancipation Proclamation was never challenged in court. To ensure the abolition of slavery everywhere in the U.S., Lincoln pushed for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. Congress passed it by the necessary 2/3 vote in February 1865 and it was ratified by the states by December 1865.[4]
Note that the Emancipation Proclamation was a war-time effort, and only applied to states that were in rebellion against the Union, and thus did not apply to all the slaveholding states.
As far as I know, there are currently no US states in open armed rebellion against the United States, and thus the President has no CIC justification to invoke.
And why is this tied so closely to so many race issues in his mind?
Because it is a PAYOFF for Obama’s black supporters.
Clyburn’s a Clymer?
who’da thought...
“Executive Orders” only apply to the Executive Branch of government and the actions contained within that branch. That is why Truman’s military desegregation order was effective and legal. Since the EO they are proposing encroaches on the specific Constitutional powers given to the Legislative Branch, said EO is un-Constitutional on its face.
He should use the same executive authority to institutionalize Jim Clyburn as a threat to society.
Ironic and hypocritical. Bringing up the Emancipation Proclamation while enslaving the taxpayers and our posterity. WHO votes these d!ckheads into office!?
