Senator Inhofe, would you please consider a run for President in 2012?

As much as I disagree with the wisdom of granting amnesty, I'm afraid he is very likely acting within his constitutional powers. From Wiki...

"The Supreme Court of the United States has interpreted this language to include the power to grant pardons, conditional pardons, commutations of sentence, conditional commutations of sentence, remissions of fines and forfeitures, respites and amnesties."

Royal Decree trumps Congressional legislation.

I’m sure you have seen plenty of those with authority, abuse that authority.

Obama trying to grant amnesty by executive order

This would put the Obumbler in "no man's land". This is way beyond Jimmy Carter's forgiveness of the draft dodgers. Way beyond that.

He's flirtin' with serious disaster on this one.

We're all witnesses to Chicago politics playing VERY POORLY on the National stage.

Who needs Congress when you can just make law by executive order?

He's just making it up as he goes along, and it's starting to go to his head. But this is a whole new level, he's not the monarch or dictator.
