Cornyn: Obama’s immigration order shows ‘contempt’ for Constitution
The Hill ^ | 11/17/14 | Ramsey Cox

Posted on 11/19/2014 7:51:14 AM PST by jimbo123

en. John Cornyn (R-Texas) blasted President Obama for issuing executive orders on immigration.

“He’s showing contempt for the Constitution, for the voters and basically anyone who disagrees with him,” Cornyn said on the Senate floor Monday.

The Obama administration has announced it will grant nearly 5 million worker visas by the end of the year so that immigrants — some of which have U.S. children — can stay in the United States. Cornyn said that action was something he would expect from a “tin-pot dictator” rather than the president.

Yes. They ALL are, with the exception of two or three.

Willing to completely destroy this great nation for their sickening pieces of *silver*.

That’s what I was thinking.

“Ah. The ‘harrumphing’ has started! That’ll discharge all GOP responsibilities on the matter; lack of substantial action is excusable, but failing to harrumph, loudly and within the range of a microphone, would be beyond the pale!” </sarc>

The Chamber of Commerce wins... for now...

I think Cruz will get the House to not fund the department who has to buy all the ID pieces from General Dynamics.

I tend to be hopeful for positive outcomes.

I'm wondering if Obama is being dumb beyond even RINOs saving him, because their corporate sponsors want the cheap labor. There are a lot of new Republicans, strongly supported by Numbers USA and the Senate Republican Conservative fund. They promised to stop illegal immigration, and they haven't been in DC long enough to sell out. Besides which, doing this before Thanksgiving means they'll get an earful from their voters.

Hope for the best.

The fix must be securely in place, Rove was on Hannity last night squawking about how wrong hussein’s EO is.

Kim Jung Un, the tin-pot dictator of North Korea, recently called. Said he is very offended to be compared to Obama.

Expect alot of sound & fury from the GOP - with no action - in response to Obama’s amnesty EO.


Yep. Just a little red meat for the base. The beltway GOP will happily cash the amnesty checks and stand aside as the kenyan takes the heat for amnesty.

I liked the suggestion that the next Republican order the IRS to not collect capital gain taxes. Sure the leftists, no egging Zero on, will be in an uproar about a Constitutional crisis.

Congress’s lack of doing anything about it also shows contempt.

More contemptible...

Cornyn said Obama's executive action encourages illegal immigration.

More secretive...

Where is your *conservative* coalition who will put strong pressure on Bonehead to draw up the Articles of Impeachment against 0bola’s lawlessness?

.............>>>>>crickets<<<<<.........

More traitorous...

The Chamber of Commerce wins... for now...

More duplicitous...

I'm wondering if Obama is being dumb beyond even RINOs saving him, because their corporate sponsors want the cheap labor.

Than most of US can imagine.

From http://www.shariahfinancewatch.org/blog/shariah-financial-institutions/

...In some cases, the entire institution is Shariah-compliant. In other cases, the overall institution is not Shariah-compliant but it has a division or subsidiary that is, or it offers a product that is Shariah-compliant. In still more cases, some of the entities listed below do not offer financial products at all, but play key roles in enabling Shariah Compliant Finance in the West...

Never forget the promise...

I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

“Expect alot of sound & fury from the GOP - with no action - in response to Obama’s amnesty EO.”

It will be no different on FR, so why should we expect it to be any different in Congress?

We are always waiting for THEM! to do something, instead of getting into the streets in large numbers ourselves.

Though Cornyn is from Texas, he needs to get off his dead @$$ and kick some ‘Rat butt.
