We know Boehner is in Obama's pocket, I know this because he's said so.
Boehner also knows this test of Americans resolve will piss them off even further
and he will not get away with this carrot on a stick shenanigan. DC needs to
learn once again who holds the wallet and who gives them their Job. 2014 wasn't enough.

The GOP camp has been infiltrated by the enemy(D), bought off, and hornswoggled.

From: http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/amnesty-shocker-the-secret-behind-obamas-order/

The White House appears to have engaged in administrative sleight of hand, changing U.S. immigration law not by executive order but by a memorandum “exercising prosecutorial discretion” Johnson signed the day of Obama’s Nov. 20 nationwide address that so far has not been filed in the Federal Register.

Tom Fitton, president of Washington-based watchdog institution Judicial Watch, told WND in an interview the legal status of Johnson’s memo is a serious constitutional question that deserves to be adjudicated.

“The entire implementing authority involves a memorandum published by DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson that changes the immigration law, directing federal money to be spent that has not been appropriated by Congress,” he said.

“In my view, there is a serious question whether Jeh Johnson should be impeached for taking this action, and a criminal investigation should be initiated to determine how and why federal funds are being misappropriated,” he declared.

This just gives the liberal media another chance to tell the story their way: lying by omission and scaring the dummy seniors and welfare recipients that the bad Republicans are going to take away their checks and Medicare/caid. It started early on my local news at noon.

No they haven't. Those liberal are registered republicans. Conservatives were yelling that before the election, and predicting crap like this.

Some people had to hold their nose, and vote R one more time.

“The Senators and Representatives ... shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution”.
- US Constitution, Article 6, Clause 3

By the way, Senators and Reps CAN be impeached; it just hasn’t happened since 1797.

Based on the above, I can count on one hand the number in Congress who Shouldn’t be impeached.

I honestly believe that we could pick 535 random names out of the phone book and this country would be better off.

I for one am certainly relieved to know that that we’ve now solved the problem of symbolic illegals.

"there is NO Executive Order" ...

That's what I thought that Jeh Johnson sent a 'memo' regarding the treatment of illegals. Basically prosecutorial discretion.

Probably because this is only SYMBOLIC and he knows it’s a joke on citizen voters.


Exactly my thought, too.

It’s all a bunch of fun and games to the Boehner & Co Circus.

Used as a shot across Obama’s ship......that’s all it is but non the less remains to be seen if effective.

I suspect a response from Obama will be to ratchet things up even further....he loves the “war”.

Have you passed this information onto the clowns of Capitol Hill who probably were asleep at freshman orientation or who don’t want to be the first to point out this extra-legal supposition?

I'm just a cook.

I'm sure they have staff that know what EOs Obama has signed.

Frankly, I have given up trying to figure out why the idiot GOP does the things they do.

Ok, so tell us what should they pass at this moment to stop an EO that has not been issued, that will be considered in a Senate they will not control until Jan?

I don’t want symbolism, I want action.

I want Congress to block Amnesty, and if that is vetoed zero out Michelle Obama’s dessert budget in retaliation.

I want Congress to fund FedGov departments one at a time and then not fund anything connected to Amnesty or Obamacare.

I want Congress to use the power of the purse to restore freedom and the rule of law.

RE: I want Congress to fund FedGov departments one at a time and then not fund anything connected to Amnesty or Obamacare.

As I wrote above, the House has to be prepared for another government shutdown.

Funding departments one at a time will inevitably need to be SIGNED by Obama and he’s going to use that to exercise his veto power.

This Congress does not have the 2/3 majority to override any of his vetos. Therefore, it will ultimately boil down a test of wills because a SHUTDOWN will be inevitable.

I personally would not mind that. I am not so sure if the majority of Americans will want that and who they will blame when it happens.
