The House Judiciary Committee is about to discuss what it calls “The President’s Constitutional Duty to Faithfully Execute the Laws,” focusing on the Obamacare delays, enforcement of immigration laws, and more. As Mediaite notes, the question of whether the president can take unilateral action to cease enforcing laws stretches back at least to last summer, when President Barack Obama said he would stop deporting young undocumented immigrants, an end-run around congressional refusal to pass the DREAM Act.

House Judiciary Committee laying groundwork for Articles of Impeachment. It’s just more frivolous kabuki, but kind of fun. The power of impeachment is reserved to the Senate...like that’s ever going to happen.
The live hearing has concluded.

“Democrats asks whether Obama is guilty of impeachable offenses.
Panel takes a minute of silence to consider whether they wanted to get audited or shot.”
Any response by the panel to that impeachment question?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I believe DOMA was the first law he and Holder refused to enforce.
The first illegal act was denying secured bondholder their legal rights when Obama gave the unions control of GM...

The answer was wishy-washy if best, but it was NOT ‘no’.
Laying the groundwork for articles of Impeachment.
You are correct, sir.
Wonder if there’s a case for quo warranto here? Anyone explored that yet?
For those who are unfamiliar with it:
Quo warranto (Medieval Latin for “by what warrant?”) is a prerogative writ requiring the person to whom it is directed to show what authority they have for exercising some right or power (or “franchise”) they claim to hold.
Why do you believe Obama wants to stack the D.C courts with this Senate maneuver Harry Reid did with the nuclear option? Because that’s where a quo warranto would be heard.
Expert Testifies to Congress that Obama’s ‘Ignoring Laws’ Could Lead to Overthrow of Government
I never studied constitutional law,, but I , as Mrs. Lincoln, have seen this play before. :-]
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Honest Obama.
Bring back reading and civics tests to be allowed to vote.
Make a law that accepting any entitlement benefits is cause for giving up your right to vote for ten years.
Problem solved.
There have been so many I have trouble keeping track.
LOL! The House judiciary committee is the roach motel for owebama scandals. Scandals go in, but they never come out. They should rename themselves the house posturing committee.
You say “do nothing” like it’s a bad thing. Most of the problems we have can be traced directly back to “having to do something”.
What’s really tragic is that if Roe vs. Wade had not been passed, illegal aliens would not be needed by **anyone** because we would have almost 57 million legal citizens that we don’t have now. Illegal immigration has always been about filling up the void that was caused by abortion. Killing off citizens and replacing them with illegals reduces the US down to the level of all the other Third World garbage dumps, which is what the Marxists want. They always believe the solution is to drag everyone else down to their level, instead of allowing us to lift ourselves up to whatever level we can achieve.
Never thought of it that way, thanks for the eye-opener!
