President Obama's announcement tonight may bring a constitutional crisis, in the words of Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), but Republicans in Congress haven't the damndest idea what they'll do about it.
As they departed the House floor, many en route to the airport for a Thanksgiving recess, many GOP lawmakers seemed as interested in explaining why options floated by colleagues from their own party wouldn't work as denouncing what they describe as an unprecedented power grab by a president they just decimated at the ballot box.
That's the hundred million dollar question, said Rep. Pat Tiberi (R-OH), How do you stop an inaction? That's the tough question that I don't have the answer to today....Just to go a step further: 'shut the government down.' That doesn't stop this inaction. Don't fund immigration service. That doesn't stop this inaction. How do you stop this inaction?

It’s there. You just have to read it. I can see it on my posts just fine.
That was BEFORE they saw the results of 11/4.
It’s amazing what elections can do.
HERES WHAT YOU DO: You go to the Senate/House websites and you find out what their phone numbers are .. and you call them DAILY IF YOU HAVE TO .. just in order to make them understand we expect them to support and defend America and her LAWS.
Heres the main switchboard - 202-224-3121202-224-3121 - ask for any representative or senator. Be smart .. have your question or statement written down .. practice it so you wont be nervous. Dont call anybody foul names (even though you might want to), and make it short and to the point. AND, call at a different time of day each time.
If youre not willing to do that .. then you have no argument.
A REPUBLIC (we are not a democracy) is of THE PEOPLE. Except, if the people lay down on the job and dont tell their elected what they expect; the REPUBLIC will no longer exist.
GET OFF THE DAMN COMPUTER AND START PHONING EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL YOU CAN REACH!
Yea, right. Next you’ll tell me my vote counts.
It’s been there for a while now.
They’re going to CAVE ,so why not just take a few days off first
And it looks like Obama didn’t give a rat’s rear end after 4NOV2014.
After 20NOV2014, Pubbies shrug their shoulders and go home like there isn’t a problem. They are an effing joke!
Nobody can cite a shred of evidence the GOP will do anything real and substantial to stop this lawless POTUS.
There is an abundance of evidence they will do nothing but huff and puff. Maybe feign a real action to get committed REPUBLICANS fired up and sated.
But in the end, nothing. Zip. Nada.
Very well put. Totally agree. Until the pubs do take power it is useless to do anything because Reid will be in the way. Besides, Obama has talked a lot but let’s see what actually happens.
It would be a start, at least. No, the truth is, we know they won't do anything because of history. The R's don't have the greatest track record. For example, see 2000-2006, when the R's were in charge in the House, Senate AND White House. We got the Patriot act, Part D, a legacy of bailouts and more. So, how will this time around be any different?
I get Thanksgiving Day off. Have to work the next day. Why should congresscritters get a full week. More importantly, why would you accept that from our elected officials?
I’m with you on demanding action. Get on the phone FReepers! Send emails, tell relatives, do whatever you can think of! And by all means, POST MORE ARTICLES TO FR!
If ever there was a time to sleep on one’s options, it’s now. Real leadership requires forethought. Strategy.
They’ve slept on it for how many years now???
Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?
Frye?...Frye?...Frye?
The next Republican President can now nullify the Voting Rights Act and Gun Control Act.
Whatever their plan (which they don’t have one) it’ll be too late. Right now government agencies are implementing amnesty. They won’t be able to revoke amnesty once it happens.
and the Emancipation Proclamation
Democrats never realize the sword has two edges.
Perhaps they’re playing it close to the vest. Why go public with a plan, just so Obama and his pets in the “media” can spend the next six weeks tearing it apart. Why not catch them by surprise?
