Following the unconstitutional executive orders of Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Soebarkah, Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) openly stated that she did not want to get into constitutional arguments regarding the matter.
"I look forward to...listening to the attorney general and listening to this wonderful panel that you've invited to participate today," she said.
"So let's solve the problem," Mikuski added. "Let's not get involved in constitutional arguments, and let's help our American people be safe and secure in their home, their neighborhood, their school and their house of worship."
See the problem? She is switching out liberty for security and the American people will end up with neither because the alleged threat against us will shift from common ordinary criminals to the criminal element in our government, like Ms. Mikuski, who doesn't care for the oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
The Constitution does not provide for Mikuski or her colleagues to provide any gun restriction or regulation. It does not give her or any other servant of the people the authority to "help our American people be safe and secure in their home, their neighborhood, their school and their house of worship."
The things it does give power to Congress for, they ignore! They usurp this authority and the sadly, the American people allow them to not only talk about it, but to eventually implement it.
Mikuski's statements came ahead of a Senate Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee hearing, which heard testimony from Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who is not elected by the people and has no legislative authority to make up law nor enforce "law" that is not authorized in the Constitution.
Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) told Lynch, "The department is on notice. This subcommittee will have no part in undermining the Constitution and the rights that it protects."
However, Lynch basically ignored that statement and claimed that she has "complete confidence that the common sense steps announced by the president are lawful."
Lynch said that Obama's actions were "well-reasoned measures" and are "well within existing legal authorities, built on work that's already underway."
The problem with that statement? None of it is authorized by Congress to legislate in the Constitution. Therefore, none of it is authorized in the Constitution for the Executive Branch to execute. So, I have no idea where the criminal Attorney General Loretta Lynch is getting her information that this is within existing legal authorities, but it is not the legal and lawful authority of the Constitution.
Both Obama and Lynch should be immediately removed from office and indicted for their crimes against the people. Second, members of Congress who have cowardly stood by and allowed all of this to go on this long, should also face aiding and abetting these criminals. Enough is enough!
While debating a bill, unless everyone is in total agreement regarding the constitutionality of said bill, then by definition, it is almost impossible NOT to get into a Constitutional argument.
Sounds to me like she is saying the decision has already been made — to ignore the Constitution.
Please, we are supposed to spend our time attacking BOs opponents, not his criminal friends. Gun control means removing guns from politicians, homowood and their bodyguards.
Well, we can’t get bogged down in pesky things like the US Constitution. There are simps out there in this country willing to give up their entire realm of freedom to feel ‘safe and secure’ in their homes, etc. When help needed seconds away is answered by government minutes and hours away.
What a dick!
Yup...I know.. she ain’t got one.
Still, IMO, she IS a dick... :-)
Another useful idiot
AH!!!!!!
What are you doing posting that creature without any warning whatsoever.
never heard of the communist beast before.
someone should ask her how safe Jewish and sane Christian Germans felt in their house without guns in the late ‘30s.
What the Hell is it with grotesque Democrat women? They’re the gals who were the teacher’s pets and never did anything fun.
That fat pig is one of the reasons that Maryland is the “freak” State. Where is that Maryland Freak State ping guy?
She is the original Congressional carpet muncher.
Isn’t the Constitution the HANDBOOK for them to do their jobs?
This is the second major thing (not necessarily in that order) that’s just getting Swept Aside.
These people are ticking me off.
TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, media-complicit, REPRESENTATIVE-ENABLED, ongoing..
FUBO
FUBM
She is clearly violating her oath of office and should be removed immediately. How quickly they forget their oaths before God and the people woo elected them.
Someone should post how safe Jewish and Christians feel in France right now!
I don’t care if she is somebody’s grandmother, I think this bitch needs a swift kick in the ass with an old pair of golf shoes.
Great point!! so today’s generation can relate also!
it might be too late over there. a woman was banned from facebook in one of the Western European countries recently for speaking the truth about the New Years Eve rapes.
Her let them “eat cake” moment should have come a long time ago. The expiration date on many of these clowns has been up for that matter. Pigs!
Thanks for posting. HOORAY Tim Brown @ Freedom Outpost.
She swore to God on a Bible to protect and defend the Constitution.
The illogical nature of that alone, of thinking one can do that and pretend God doesn’t take that seriously, is sick.
