Heard that. I’m spitting blood I’m so mad!
Using border security as a quid pro quo to secure amnesty is cynical even for this most cynical of presidents. Border security is a major duty of the President, and is part of the role he accepted when he took his oath of office.
Not policing the border because you want millions of illegals to get amnesty (and become reliable democrat voters for generations) is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind a couple of centuries ago. It reeks of the type of small town corruption wherein a sheriff might say, “I won’t arrest any criminals unless the town council allows my brother-in-law to build that new shopping center on public land.”

Here’s What House GOP Could Do When Obama Issues His Immigration Order
http://www.nationaljournal.com/congress/here-s-what-house-gop-could-do-when-obama-issues-his-immigration-order-20141116
Excerpt:
If Obama announces his executive order next Friday at noon, the House could stay in session for as long as needed rather than beginning the planned Thanksgiving recess. The chamber could pass a resolution rejecting the president’s actions. Then House Republicans would focus on appropriations.
The current funding bill is set to sunset Dec. 11, and lawmakers are jockeying over passing another short-term continuing resolution or a longer-term package. The House could attach a rider prohibiting enforcement of Obama’s order, or it could not provide money to departments that would respond to executive action.
This strategy aligns with a letter that Salmon, along with at least 62 cosigners, sent House Appropriations Chairman Harold Rogers and ranking member Nita Lowey. It urges them to insert language into any spending bill prohibiting the use of appropriated money for executive action that would create additional work permits or green cards. Essentially, Congress’s power of the purse would be Obama’s punishment.
Third party time! Get it up and running by January 2016. Republicans will be gone one way or another soon enough, after the illegals start voting.
Lets see out of 54 R voting senators the GOP-e will need...
Don’t know what the tie breaking procedures are, but the Chamber of Farce would need 28 Rs voting for someone else.
We can assume who they likely will be. I’ll start.
McConnell
McCain
Graham
Rubio
Corker(TN weak sister)
Alexander (other TN weak sister)
Cochran (puppet)
Flake
Enzi
There’s 8. They need 20 more to vote for Enzi...
So what? Obama would just declare some emergency and accounting gimmick and spend the money anyway.
Obama delenda est.
Thanks for the info.
According to Heritage Action Scorecard, Cornyn is more conservative than Enzi.
Rush said today that Mitch is trying to back door Enzi into Sessions’ rightful chairmanship. If true that leaves little doubt what the GOPe has planned for us dummies that put them in power.
Some other possible GOP/GOPe traitorous senators:
Susan Collins
Lisa Murkowski
Mark Kirk
Johnny Isakson
Rob Portman
Orrin Hatch
Rand Paul
Enzi to challenge Sessions for Senate Budget chairmanship
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3228812/posts
Bttt
Bttt
But if Mike Enzi has his was Sessions will be a man without a committee chairmanship.
I believe it's the members of the committee who vote for chairman, not members of the entire caucus. The Republican members right now are Enzi, Sessions, Grassley, Ayotte, Crapo, Graham, Portman, Toomey, Johnson and Wicker. Becoming the majority will add two Republicans to the committee. Republicans chosen by McConnell. If Sessions is serious about shutting down the government with additions to the budget then I don't see McConnell letting him chair the committee. There are already 7 or 8 votes against him. McConnell will add two more.
It worse than I thought. It’s going to take less votes to remove Sessions.
From linked article. “Although seniority can govern committee chairmanships in the Senate, any member — junior or not — can challenge for the gavel. Such campaigns are decided by the Republican members of the committee, only. “

Yes, just saw that.
Then I think we can agree that pigs will fly before the GOP establishment lets Sessions be committee chair.
