I wanted to get this out there. The President has the power to grant pardons for offenses against the United States. He does not have the power to grant citizenship or residency, to my knowledge. Rush is talking to a guy right now about this.

I hope he does try.
may the streets of DC be filled with illegals celebrating
when the crowds of patriots and veterans collide with them.
let the chips fall where they may.
Law is irrelevant.
Obama says so.

Obama: I am pardoning all illegals.
American People: Yes, and pardon us while we kick their asses out.

Obama should be removed from office by order of military Generals then...because that is treasonous.

Rush is doubling down on claiming that the pardon could be made prospective. That, I believe, is wrong. You can't pardon someone for future crimes. Can you imagine?
Obama: Eric Holder, you are hereby pardoned for murdering our enemies in the future. He mentioned the example of the draft dodgers that Carter pardoned. At the time of that pardon, the crime committed was refusing to appear for the draft when they were drafted, years earlier. When they returned, that crime was pardoned, and they were not committing new crimes by not complying with a draft that no longer existed.
Rush's 99.8% rate of being right is going to take a hit on this.

Rush was just reporting a prediction in a column he read. It’s not Rush’s prediction.

I think Obama will use it as a bluff to get stupid people like Boehner and McConnell to act. I don’t think he would use it at this time. I do believe he will have no qualms in issuing the pardon during the lame duck session in December 2016, if a Republican is coming in. That is when he will be at his most dangerous.

So, illegals, if he grants this pardon head for home that same day and save yourselves a lot of future grief.
Then you can get in line and apply to come legally like everyone else.
To: Defiant
Let him do it, call this weasel’s bluff....
The illegals are not US citizens so they cannot be “Pardoned”.. Pardoning an illegal would be like pardoning an enemy combatant...
It would be an act of TREASON!

He just had a caller who was making the same point I was, and he disputed the caller. He said he would have to check on it, but then a few minutes later, came back on to mention the draft dodger thing as a precedent for pardoning future crimes. He is accepting the notion that a pardon could make the illegals legal. I believe he will change his mind on that once Mark Levin gets hold of him.

I think the GOP should insist that all DREAMers arriving after June 1th be transported to Washington DC and be required to stay there.

To: Defiant
The illegals will believe they have been granted amnesty and are now legal and that is all that matters.
Tell them different and there will be race riots in every city of the US.
The only thing a community organizer is good for is orchestrating civil unrest.

Its a prediction from Steve Hayward at Powerlineblog.com Is the prediction based on anything solid, or did he pull it out of his nether regions?
