During the lame-duck, as to nominations, Obama would be in position to stuff many obnoxious officeholders into the bureaucracy and various offices. Certainly the office of the Attorney General comes to mind.
But after the new Senate comes in, the question is what can we as conservatives do to force the Rinos to do in opposition to Barack Obama. Impeachment, evidently, has been taken off the table without any effort whatsoever to educate the American people as to its necessity and value. McConnell and Boehner have explicitly said they will not shut down the government which is another way of saying they will not employ the power of the purse to stop Obama.
Perhaps they will, in effect, pass a series of budget authorizations funding every department except homeland security which evidently enforces immigration law and when that matter comes up they will attach a rider prohibiting any funds to be used for amnesty. To believe that means we have to trust Boehner and McConnell.
Meanwhile, we are left with Ted Cruz acting to stop all of Obama's nominees as a way of crippling the administration so long as Obama persists in his illegal diktat concerning amnesty. So long as Cruz might have to do that by filibuster because the establishment combines with the Democrats against him, the number of votes needed to quash a filibuster should be raised to two thirds or even three quarters.
