About time somebody wrote about this aspect of King Obama’s executive orders.
Duh.
It's what I call the "Little Johnny" defense. Little Johnny in the third grade is misbehaving in class. When the teacher confronts him about his behavior, instead of accepting responsibility for his actions, he points to one of his classmates and says "why are you picking on me?....he was doing it too!"
Executive Orders are a legitimate tool available to any president. It's not the number of Executive Orders that are issued, it's the content of a specific order. If I run a Stop sign, I've broken the law. If someone else murders someone, they've also broken the law. Are the two actions equal in their severity? Of course not.....but that's what Obama's supporters would have us believe in regard to Executive Orders.
Over the years, the executive branch has expanded its reach to just about every aspect of American life. With all of the czars and departments and alphabet agencies, it should be no surprise to anyone that the executive branch can act on its own with no oversight.
The Framers did not intend the executive branch to have this much power. We’re well past the point of tyrannical oversight.
You still need 67. Short of that he can do pretty much as he pleases. If it provokes a civil uprising he will declare martial law and invalidate the constitution. IOW he is in the drivers seat, put there by the low info voters, complicient MSM, gutless Republican electors and a gang of money from left wing sympathisers. God save the Republic.
Has he ever acted “inside” the law? Now that would be real news.
Is the Pope Catholic?
