Obama can get away with it because the Democrats in Congress applaud him, and the press either applauds his actions or keeps silent about them. We've had a two-party system almost continuously since the 1790s but usually the ideological discipline has not been as strong as it is now.

Democrats seem to think that all future Presidents will be Democrats. They are trying to make sure of that with amnesty.

“The irony is that he didn’t have to circumvent Congress” to achieve his own goals.

Really Turley? You honestly believe that Mr. Turley? Turley is a liar; he truly p*sses me off. This intellectual Marxist is a fraud.

I would love to debate this clown.

He speaks of all these bromides about the Constitution but he is a lying fraud. This Mr Turley states that he reveres the Constitution.

If Mr Turley had any respect at all for the Constitution he would be demanding the impeachment and removal of Obama.

Since he doesn't he should be mocked and scorned..

Dangerously unconstitutional for the last five years guess how bad it will get in the next three democrats will not give up their agenda.

Then, “it will be hard for people to reject, who were silent today.” It would, he argued, be the “height of hypocrisy.”

Um...these are Democrats you are talking about. They hit new heights of hypocrisy three times a week, already - they will have no problem turing on a dime and blasting the "Imperial Presidency of Jeb Bush" with abandon.

What he meant was Bambi could have gotten much of his program through Congress if he wanted. With Congress applauding his State of the Union takeover speech it is no wonder he doesn't care.
BTW Turley is one big time lefty. If he is critical, and he is, that is a crack in the liberal armor. In fact if you read between the lines he is raking Bambi over the coals.
With liberals it is like understanding anything that comes out of Red China of Russia. There are many levels of meaning that need to be understood when they talk.

“”Some argue that the Founders [or as he called them, the Framers] did not write the Constitution during poisonous times. Turley responded and said, “This Constitution was written during poisonous political times.” The Founders “didn’t like wars…they didn’t like executives getting us into wars.” Yet, “Look what happened in Libya…we must be reading different works” if you think the Founders would approve of an intervention in Libya””

The afounders were smart enough to not be compelled to be drafted to the. british even if some of them were of British origin, and same with the Dutch etc...

No, we have an emotional and muslim black retarded version of La Causa Nostra for Sicilly
