The pubs should harp on the main issue which isn’t immigration. That is just the latest crime. The root problem is Obama’s lawlessness. That needs to be the focus. It could have been the subject of immigration, guns, whatever. The issue is a lawless President. Passing some bill misses the point
Both illegal immigration amnesty and Obama’s unconstitutional granting of it are important issues.
I am afraid all but one option will be used to stop this POSPOTUS. Which means nothing will change.
Great. When is President Biden going to be sworn in?
Sen. Scott, just a small piece of advice. Don’t reveal your attack strategy to your enemy. Just sayin....
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) revealed on Saturday that Republican leadership, led by Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Oh), has no intention of resisting President Obamas executive amnesty that he ordered on Thursday.
[...]
They acted as though the amnesty issue wasnt even an issue. They said that the President is going to do what hes going to do, and we are not going to get down in the mud with him. We are not going to engage, and what we are going to do is to talk about our positive solutions on jobs, the economy, education, and manufacturing, Bachmann said.
She added that each congressman who spoke reiterated that not engaging Obama and staying positive was a brilliant strategy.
"We will not engage," she reiterated with disgust.
True but that wasn’t my point. Obama has a list of violations against the Constitution. He should have been impeached years ago.
Shut down the government. Insist on not only this order being rescinded, but also on a new law that restricts the scope of presidential executive actions. Then maybe compromise on reopening the government by having the action rescinded and an agreement to start negotiating on a law to clearly define and restrict the president’s executive power, so that it is clear that it cannot be used to essentially nullify laws that the president has sworn to uphold.
There is only one option that matters.
Remove him form office.
Everything else is fail, and the fact that you are considering anything else is fail.
Remove him, or he wins.
That is all.
There aren’t enough votes in the Senate to have him impeached. Just sayin...
1. Iraq and Syria refugees, in, say Turkey: How limited is Obama's power in signing any immigrant or refugee executive order?
2. For instance, does Obama technically have the legal power to sign an executive order tomorrow---just a few days after he signed his present illegal immigration executive order---where he grants temporary amnesty to 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 Iraqi and Syrian refugees, and nobody can do anything about it?
3. Africa refugees: Tomorrow, can Obama legally grant immediate amnesty to 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 Ebola refugees from Africa, and, again, nobody can do anything about it?
4. In summary, does Obama and his clever lawyers have us by the throat when it comes to Obama's claim that he has unlimited legal power to sign executive orders wherever and whenever he pleases, and nobody can stop him, not Congress, not the courts?
5. Pardon for 5,000,000 illegals: Just before Obama leaves office in two years, can Obama legally pardon 5,000,000 illegals with an executive order?
6. Has the use of unlimited executive order power intoxicated Obama so much that he has become completely mad? God help us.
What meat exists in Obama’s ruling that can’t be terminated in two years?
Didn’t take long to turn him to mush.
Legislation will go nowhere. Cutting off money means the half-breed will just use money from somewhere else. Lawsuits will take years and who thinks for one minute that the half-breed will abide by any court decision?
Wake up, the half-breed has declared war on us. Any response?
Agree. Scott went on as if congress was responsible for the law, as if we still had a republic. Historians will mark 11/20/14 as the end of a grand experiment in self government.
The GOP ran on nothing and will produce nothing in return.
I gave in to the clamor at FR and voted this month. Absent a conservative nominee in 2016, I shall no longer participate in the ruse, the deception that our consent still matters.
Yeah, Haley should join Oklahoma and Texas in their suits.
I guess Sen. Scott hadn’t yet got the “We will not engage” word yet.
