Many might say they prefer an honest adversary to a treacherous ally. Many House conservatives should be reevaluating their relationships after their own “leadership” betrayed them by covertly changing a bill designed to stop Obama’s amnesty into a bill that now effectively legalizes it.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart, Rep. Louis Gohmert revealed that Speaker John Boehner and his Establishment cronies secretly changed H.R. 5759 first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) and kept their amended language quiet. He says most of the 216 Republicans who voted on the bill had no idea it had been dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.

“I was a cosponsor of the original Yoho bill. I thought it was a very decent bill, it was very short—it was only about a page and a half—and it basically said that anything the president did in violation of current law including what he’s done with ordering work permits for people who are illegally here, it’s illegal,” Gohmert said.

But the night before there was an amendment in the nature of a substitute to H.R. 5759—what that means is that it’s a new bill. It’s different but it’s going to substitute in its entirety the original bill. It had some of Yoho’s original language in it but they eliminated from the title the word “amnesty” and replaced it with “executive overreach.”

Gohmert also says they added a section of “exceptions” to the bill, which actually provide Obama legal cover for his illegal actions:

I agree;an altered contract is void. Who would sign an agreement on a purchase if the price was doubled from what was agreed on? I need to get in touch with my Representative since since his name’s on the list & see if he agreed with this falsification or was unaware of it.

If these people were truly deceived then Boehner will be removed from his speakership right? </s>

Even worse, most politicians have a law degree or at least some form of business sense to know better. If it was THEIR money, they’d pay greater attention.
