wrongo obama
there is nothing higher than the court, only God. You, are below the court, obama
ACTING assistant attorney general, eh?
And I’m pretty sure that federal judges take strong exception to being “warned” by anybody about their decisions.
Wisdom of Dead White Men Afflicted with White Privilege
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters. Benjamin Franklin
Shame on the men who can court exemption from present trouble and expense at the price of their own posterity's liberty! Samuel Adams
If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin. Samuel Adams
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders. Samuel Adams
The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation enlightened as it is if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men. Samuel Adams
The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of government, are justly considered deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." George Washington
Posterity. You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it. John Adams
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.
Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation of freemen. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles. Patrick Henry
Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. ... Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us. John Hancock
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary. Thomas Paine
"Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." Thomas Paine
"One man with courage is a majority." Thomas Jefferson
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. Thomas Jefferson
When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Thomas Jefferson
I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. Thomas Jefferson
There are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people, by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by sudden and violent usurpations. James Madison
I go on this great republican principle, that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom. Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks no form of government can render us secure. James Madison
"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." James Madison
If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify. Alexander Hamilton
America will never be destroyed from the outside If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. Abraham Lincoln
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." Samuel Clemens
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the congress is in session. Samuel Clemems
"Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Samuel Clemens
"If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone, 'America died from a delusion that she has moral leadership." Will Rogers
The odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L. Mencken
History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster. Douglas MacArthur
Great men, great wisdom. We ignore it at our peril.
From The Desk of Federal Judge Arthur Schwab Dear Mr. Obama, Eff you. Cordially, Arthur Schwab
Or, what’s to stop states from deciding who is eligible to vote within the state.... who’s to stop them from marking the newly ‘amnestied’ as ineligible? Or, who is eligible for any state benefits? Or, eligible to attend schools? Or eligible to obtain a driver license. Or rent/own a home, or car...etc
Hard Ball.
If the newcomers can’t vote in the red states they are mostly useless to the democrats...they become instead a burden to them.
Very good!
May I offer:
Queer leader
In its first extended legal filing in one of the court challenges to the new amnesty, the Justice Department says courts have long held that an agencys decision whether or not to prosecute someone or to enforce the law is entitled to absolute discretion.
Federal courts sit to decide cases and controversies, not to resolve disagreements about policy or politics, said Joyce R. Branda, the acting assistant attorney general who took the lead on filing the brief.
******
I'm speechless. I can't wait until Obama's lawyers try to present the same argument before the Supreme Court.
After Obama's lawyers dare to present such an arrogant argument before the Supreme Court, Obama's lawyers better hide quickly behind a desk and take cover to protect themselves from the inevitable backlash when the angry Supreme Court judges respond by screaming at Obama's lawyers.
Something like this: "Who do you think you are talking to?" "How dare you try to tell us what we can and cannot do. Shame on you."And worse.
He knows boener will not initiate impeachment, so two more years of absolute power. He just takes it. Who will stop him?
Correct. The end-game is underway. It's been obvious for a long time it was coming to this. The Hard Left has no intention of giving up its power.
Great Quotes! however:
There are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people, by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by sudden and violent usurpations. James Madison
In this go-around with zero and the RINORAT GOP-e, we have BOTH in the course of six years!
I just wish this Congressional oversight was being implemented from the Congress rather than being argued for in Court.
True, and I’m glad the judge did what he did.
I just thought that characterizing Obama’s reaction as squealing like a pig getting slaughtered was a bit much.
Unfortunately it sounded more like a threat than a squeal.
That judge better not have any skeletons hiding anywhere.
I rise to a point of order. Its hanged, not hung. Hung is,,, well, google it.
*****
Okay. I want Obama "hanged" by his "hung." Close your eyes and try to imagine what I just said.
That may be true, but the fallacy of reversing the statement into a moronic assertion does not :
The decision about whom not to deport, or to ignore a law altogether, has not been permitted, ever.
Else why would we ever have need of the Appellate Courts or The Supreme Court?
Wake me up when the patriots decide to remove the king. I will be willing to provide food and shelter to anyone who takes on this noble task.
The cost of Obamacare has become too costly in recent years. Shut it down!
“the administration had to impose the new deportation amnesty because immigration enforcement has become too costly in recent years”
You said, “Cost is a concern? OMG I had a good laugh at this one. ROFL!”
Obama and his henchmen cannot speak the truth.
A few days ago, I read immigration is hiring 1,000 more people to process the illegals Obama is making legal. So, they are hiring 1,000 but evidently that cost doesn’t matter.
