RUSH: Yeah, really, when you stop -- and I'm sure most of you have -- when you stop and think about what's gonna happen tonight and the way it's being promoted, and the way it's playing out, I don't know, it's kind of surreal. Everybody involved knows that what's gonna happen tonight's unconstitutional. Everybody knows it. And there's nothing that can stop it. And stop and think of that. Everybody knows. I don't care if they're in the Drive-By Media. I don't care if they're in the White House. I don't care if they're in the Senate. I don't care where they are.
Everybody knows that what is going to happen tonight is unconstitutional. It is like we're gonna put the Constitution up on a wall and Obama is gonna start shooting a BB gun at it and we're all gonna tune in at eight o'clock and watch it. And then we're gonna talk about what we saw later on tonight and tomorrow. Meanwhile, tomorrow the Constitution is still gonna have some BB holes in it. This is amazing. Everybody knows what's about to happen. Will CNN do a countdown on this? I don't see it yet, but it's seven hours and 53 minutes and 44 seconds from now. The Constitution is gonna cease to exist as we know it.
Do you know that the major broadcast networks are not going to cover this tonight? Did you know that? (interruption) The White House is not annoyed. The White House did not formally request it. They don't want a English-speaking audience tonight in mass numbers. They did not formally request the networks carry the announcement tonight. This is gonna be on Telemundo, on Univision. It's gonna be streamed in a number of places, but the networks, it's not that the networks didn't grant permission; they have not been formally asked.
The White House is out there wringing their hands and making it look like the networks are denying him. Does anybody really believe the networks would deny him? Does anybody believe the networks would say "no" to this? I mean, this is historic. We are gonna shoot the Constitution full of holes tonight, and the networks aren't interested?
Come on, folks, cut me some slack here. We all know what's gonna happen tonight, and there's no stopping it. It's like there's gonna be a severe injury to our country tonight, and we all know it's gonna happen, and everybody knows it's gonna happen, and, yes --(interruption) I'm saying that he knows this is not popular. I'm not saying he's suppressing the English language tune-in. I'm saying he doesn't care if they don't watch. It's not for the English-language-speaking people tonight. This thing is not for them. This announcement is not for 'em. This is for a Hispanic, Spanish-language audience tonight. There isn't any doubt about that.
But, I mean, really, I can't move past this. We're just hours away from watching the Constitution shot full of holes. Everybody knows that's what's gonna happen and I'm telling you, I don't care if it's Dick Durbin, I don't care if it's Dingy Harry or Josh Earnest, they all know. Whatever the people on the Obama side are saying to justify this, they know they're not right. They know the Constitution does not provide for this. They know the president doesn't have the authority. This is one of the reasons they're so excited.
This is historic. Their president, their guy is going to, in front of everybody -- this isn't stealth. This isn't under cover of darkness. This isn't behind closed doors. This is right out in front of everybody, we are gonna go (raspberry) on the Constitution. This is like everybody witnessing . You know, Al Roker ran around telling everybody that he excremented his pants at a White House Christmas party. Well, we're gonna see it tonight.
To me, this is just -- I don't know. It's surreal. I'm not exaggerating and I'm not trying to make a broad point when I tell you that I think everybody on the Obama side knows this is not permitted. And I think that is part of the thrill, that they're gonna get away with this. They're gonna get away with it, and there's nothing that's going to happen to them. There's nothing that can stop them, and they're just excited as they can be over this. And after tonight's over, they're probably gonna say, "Why did we wait so long? Man, this is fun; let's do it again. This is so much fun, let's do it again."
Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell is up there warning there will be action -- and they're quaking in their boots in the White House, I'm sure. (interruption) They are. They're gonna get away with it from the standpoint that it's gonna happen. It's like we're gonna watch a bank get robbed tonight. Everybody knows it's gonna get robbed, and nobody's lifting a finger to stop the bank from getting robbed! Pick your crime. We're looking at it tonight. We're watching it. We're being led into it. It's being hyped. (interruption)
Nobody can march... (interruption) Duct tape. That's not the point. "Duct tape on his mouth, stopping him from speaking," that's not the point. This is a big deal. And it's turned into a carnival show. This whole thing is turning into a carnival show, it's more showbiz. It's stunning to me what's really happening. We got a carnival barker tonight that's gonna go up there and he's gonna look at us in the eye and say, "Screw you. This is what I think of this Constitution," and, bammo!
He's gonna do whatever he's gonna do. Now, I have been hearing this morning from learned people, some friends of mine in legal circles that there actually is going to be... I don't know if he's gonna mention it, Obama. But that they have prepared a legal basis that they claim justifies this. It is call "prosecutorial discretion." You've heard that being bandied about, too. Okay, prosecutorial discretion.
This is going to necessitate an explanation of this. I am uniquely qualified to do this, and I shall, as the program unfolds before your very ears. Because this is a time-honored, noncontroversial legal concept that's been around for ages -- and even it is being polluted by this guy! Even the whole concept of prosecutorial discretion is now being corrupted. The rule of law is already laying injured on the side of the road.
Prosecutorial discretion is gonna be corrupted here tonight, if that is indeed the quasi-legal framework that they use to so-called justify this. But it's just... (laughs) I'm sorry. It's like watching a crime. Everybody says, "Gee, I wish we could find out in advance the crime's gonna happen. Maybe we could stop it." Well, we know. We know that an illegal act is gonna take place in seven hours and 46 minutes, and there doesn't appear to be any way or energy or desire -- well, not desire; there's plenty of that -- to stop it.
It's like a comet, a comet heading right for the planet. We got five few weeks. We're gonna launch the nukes at the comet except we're gonna miss it on purpose and we're just gonna sit here and wait for the comet to hit the planet and hope it hits Russia and not us. I mean, I could keep these analogies going all day long if I had to.
END TRANSCRIPT
Halfway to the Lord isn’t any good. I won’t stay here forever though.
Lukewarm Christians yielded to the fuss.
I have been an immigration officer for 18 years. I am going to watch the futility of my career as I watch this unlawful reversal of 8 CFR.
The INA, 96 ACT, 8 CFR being burned.
What are we supposed to do at work now, all 15 thousand of us? We have refused entry to and deported thousands of people. Now all the illegals get to laugh in our face.
depressing...
8 CFR in flames
so what are we supposed to do at the ports and borders from now on? Futility...
Illegals have no legal documentation here whatsoever, no legal right to be here or work here- other than those granted some sort of temporary right to be here by an immigration court.
After Obama signs this tomorrow if it states what he outlined it sounds like they will have the same status as those with legal (green cards is the common term) documentation to work here. Sounded like there is a provision to keep those that qualify for the permit (or whatever they are going to call it) from being deported.
God bless you.
Potlatch, your ‘gif’ is so PERFECT, yet it is so sad to admit that it is actually happening to our country. Thank you for the ping!
My family used to cross the border to Progresso often. Then we had to pay to update our passports because we had to have them to get back into the U.S.!!
We stopped going because of the violence in some areas, but it’s stunning to know the illegals can just walk across and not be turned back.
Up is down and down is up in Obama’s world!
Thank you sweetie, glad you saw it. I need to write you, sorry I’m so bad about it. I spend all day on a gif but hate to write letters, lol.
Hard to fault you for that.
:)
We are seeing the future in Europe and how immigration has become the number one political issue. UKIP may stun the world in May.
Sums it up succinctly.
And the Republicans bowed down. Damn them to hell. That means you: John Boehner.
Now I’m not saying what’s been happening is anything close to it but it makes me think about what the Germans did during Hitler’s reign and how millions had to have realized what was taking place but they did nothing to stop it. We would all say that’d never be us. You’re afraid there is no hope? With the mindset of the majority I would agree there is no hope. But that makes me sad. We are oh so beaten down and helpless. There are no knights in shining armor. There are no cowboys. Where have they all gone? Why do other civilized nations have protest in the streets but in America we cower in our houses? Blacks do it, Hispanics do it, gays do it, feminists do it, but WE have no fire in our bellies?
Oh I see about 10 tea party activists on an occasional overpass once every couple months. That’s all, that’s it.
Strutting, smirking SOB. Glad I was at work and not tempted to watch.
What??? They sure aren’t appealing to middle-class middle of the road Americans cause I’m one of them and I’ve always made my own damn bed and cleaned my own freaking toilet. If they want to use this argument I want them to send over a Spanish lady to do these mundane chores for me, because apparently this is oh so important and not the mundane little chores I thought they were.
Hey, they knew the risks when they came no?! Nobody forced them to! I don’t understand. When an American citizen breaks a law what happens? They’re told don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. And some of them have children “ripped” from their arms as they’re sent to jail.
We were all strangers once? What does he think we were all born on Mars? Does he not know the meaning of “settlers?” My ancestors helped found a state in this union. I’m no stranger to this land. He’s a dim bulb.
Yep mine did too, and ancestors talked about their journey, the mandatory quarantine, and the dry goods business they started up in Chicago that allowed them to settle into a nice house.
