Now that a federal judge has held Obama's illegal executive amnesty unconstitutional, perhaps U.S. senators will remember that they swore to uphold the Constitution, too.
Back when they needed our votes before the last election, Republicans were hairy-chested warriors, vowing to block Obama's unconstitutional "executive amnesty" -- if only voters gave them a Senate majority. The resulting Republican landslide suggested some opposition to amnesty.
Heading into the election, college professor Dave Brat took out the sitting House majority leader and amnesty supporter Eric Cantor in a primary, despite being outspent 40-1. It was the greatest upset in history since the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" at the Lake Placid Olympics: Never before has a House majority leader been defeated in a primary. And Brat did it by an astonishing 55.5 percent to 45.5 percent.
Again, the voters seemed to be expressing disquiet with amnesty.
After that, even amnesty-supporting Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., was denouncing Obama's executive amnesty. "If the president were to do that," he said, "and we have a Republican majority in the United States Senate, why, we have a number of options that we don't now have to remind him to read Article I of the Constitution."
Poll after poll showed Americans ranking illegal immigration as the No. 1 most important problem facing the nation. We haven't changed our minds. Last week, an Associated Press-Gfk poll showed that Obama's single most unpopular policy is his position on illegal immigration.
In other words, Obamacare is more popular than amnesty. That's like losing a popularity contest to Ted Bundy.

Do you hear that, Senator McConnell????
How did Coulter become anti-amnesty? Doesn’t Romney support it? And isn’t she a Jefe Bush supporter now that Romney isn’t running?
The Uniparty must go.
Constitution Party.
She dropped Cristy like a hot potato because of his view on amnesty, in fact she was trying to get GOP candidates to run openly against any form of amnesty, most didn't.
She’s a whore of sorts...
Yes the uni-party is real... The fix in the end, how it happens is up for debate, the 17th Amendment must be repealed.
This country has been a democracy not a Republic since. We are now reaping those fruits.. the uni party is one of them
How did Coulter become anti-amnesty?
(((
It’s just her latest attempt to get conservatives to pay attention to her again.
Go away, Ann. We are not stupid.
Actually she has been “anti-amnesty” for a long time. I don’t always agree with her but she is right on amnesty.
Now that a federal judge has held Obama's illegal executive amnesty unconstitutional,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the judge correctly found that Obama did not comply with some 1946 law and that his Executive Orders on amnesty were therefore illegal.
Unconstitutional, not Illegal. I think there is a difference there.
Or did I miss something in his ruling?
with, “leaders”, like Boehner and McConnel, yes the gop is garbage.
Both the Democans and the Republicrats get to Washington, settle in, and then crap on the electorate.
How is she a “whore of sorts”?
You are an idiot of sorts ...
One of her contentions is that Romney is one of the few Republicans who has been consistently anti-amnesty.
Has she supported any conservatives since Reagan?
