Republican leaders are so far refusing to telegraph their strategy for combating President Obamas unilateral action on immigration. But theyre under enormous pressure from the right to act fast.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) have no shortage of options. The question is whether any of them would stop Obama in his tracks.
Aides to GOP leadership say one weapon in their armory would be for Republicans to sue the president, either by expanding the GOPs current lawsuit against him on ObamaCare or bringing new legal action. Republicans, who will take over the Senate in January, have also threatened to block all of Obamas executive branch nominees, unless the president reverses his plan shielding up to 5 million immigrants in the country illegally from deportation.
The strategy will most certainly include legislation. Senior Republicans have signaled they plan to quickly take up a bill similar to one by Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) that would bar any federal funding from being used for Obamas unilateral actions.
But GOP leaders will need to show quick results if they are to mollify restless rank-and-file members and right-wing activists.
Conservative lawmakers and outside groups are furious with leadership for negotiating and passing a trillion-dollar omnibus spending package last week that funded almost the entire government through September but did little to challenge Obamas immigration action.
Tea Party lawmakers have derided the legislation as a vote for amnesty. The super-PAC linked to the Senate Conservatives Fund began running $80,000 worth of radio ads blasting Boehner, McCarthy and Scalise for caving in the immigration fight.
On Tuesday, the Tea Party Leadership Fund renewed its long-shot online campaign to depose Boehner and install conservative South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy as Speaker.

They really think we’re stupid.
I would bet even money on it but Obama as his first act of power sealed his records. No telling now how these records have been doctored. However, there are further records of Loretta Fuddy the birth record keeper for Hawaii being early on associated with the cult and with mama Stanley Ann. There is a fascinating history to the demise of Fuddy in a plane crash off the coast of Molokai Hawaii.
LOL! I wonder how much this infomercial cost the gop wing of the uniparty?
So let me get this straight. Now that the gop wing of the uniparty has given away the farm, the house, the tractor, the cattle, and the shotgun, and sold all the kids into slavery, they’re going to make their valiant stand against amnesty? Too funny! The soviet era ministry of propaganda didn’t stretch credulty to this length.
Amnesty will happen for one very important reason: the uniparty wants it. And what the uniparty wants, the uniparty invariably gets. All the rest is just choreography and theatrics.
Enjoy the show, folks.

Where did you say Obama's mother met this Subuh person?
Interesting that so many seem to think they know what they are talking about, people treat personal theories as real.
Malcolm X in the Obama woodpyle and a surrogate Dunham Mom.
One day we will know as a matter of fact, thanks to your work and that of others.
There is only one person who has the most comprehensive info on this topic, Freeper Fred Nerks of Australia.
But I doubt she will have anything to say about it these days.
Absolutely certain Enzi won’t be stopping it in the Senate Budget Committee. Got to be bipartisan and all that you know.
They have no strategy.
No ideas no opposition no strategy.
McConnell and Boehner are cowardly, brain dead, ineffectual, self-absorbed idiots.
I have faith in the GOP.
They will collaborate with Obama to give amnesty to 30 million foreign nationals living illegally in the United States.
Laws are for suckers after all. And native born Americans, which now means the same thing.
I wish we could.
Ouch! ...I laughed so hard it hurts.
When will truth be made public, that’s all I want to know.
When will truth be made public, thats all I want to know.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Its already public, but universally censored by our yellow journalists. It will likely be pretty plain when we get into the genetic testing of Obama’s children a generation from now.
Then someone who writes “THE BOOK” will make millions and go down in history as a “great discoveror.”
I know who thet person should be and she should be writing it now.
I hope by “should be” you mean “currently is”...
If the truth isn’t made public and those responsible are not arrested, what will happen to our country?
Quote from my profile page:
In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
