Lawlessness is now being practiced by BOTH parties AND the defacto dictatorship they have empowered. It's almost as if the GOP leadership are actually part of Obama's team.
It will remain to be seen whether or not the Conservatives in the House will stand on principles and block the actual vote come January, but considering what is already being done by the GOP leadership to neuter any opposition to Obama I'm pretty sure silencing and marginalizing Conservatives is job #1.
Conservatism may already have been rendered politically irrelevant by the very party leadership we were threatened to vote for by the party hacks among us.
Are they smarter than the new people - or just more susceptible to bullying and threats from the Old Bulls?
Conservatives win big and are already ready to whine about losing!
That is what I told someone a couple of days ago. Don’t expect much because the same people are in the same positions.
Ballots clearly are not doing the job....
Conservatives in Congress are much like the white race nowadays
All hat...no cattle
“So Boehner is telling Obama that he will have the green light to pass amnesty, but asked for permission to try one more time to pass it legislatively?”
It is not at all what he said, imo. Boehner simply asked Obama to at least wait until a proper bill can be prepared for immigration reform. If that bill cannot be reconciled by both Houses to the satisfaction of the president than as Boehner said Obama can “do what you have to do”. This is not permission since Boehner nor anyone else cannot stop Obama from issuing an EO, any EO on anything. Whether the EO is legal is for the courts to determine.
