The ‘imperial presidency’ is here and we aren’t doing much to reverse it
Absolute Rights ^ | 02/28/2015 | Jon E. Dougherty

“Catch me if you can.”

That’s what President Obama seems to be saying to the Republican-led Congress, to the Judicial Branch, and to every single American, regardless of political affiliation. He is daring all of us to try and stop him from implementing, on his own, the final act of his “fundamental transformation” of the country in the two years he has left in office.

What’s worse is that we are letting him get away with it.

If any group in congress had stones, impeachment procedures would have begun long ago.

I wish I could figure out why no one is trying to stop him.

“This is something I’ve struggled with throughout my presidency,” said Obama. “The problem is that I’m the president of the United States, I’m not the emperor of the United States.”

At least not yet.

vI wish I could figure out why no one is trying to stop him.

Because they're on his side. McCain now saying to move on from Obama's Executive Amnesty, other stuff to do.

What kind of American does that? I swear, I heard McCain say not to be afraid of Obama, he'd make a good President and it was BEFORE the election. I don't know what we can do except make dam sure he doesn't get back in for 2016. We're already stuck with Graham and McConnell.

Emperor Sans-cullotte is getting away with violating the Constitution because we don’t have an opposition party.

One of the dirty little secrets of tyrannical governments is that they enjoy the support of most of their subjects/slaves.

Keep people fat and entertained, and they'll tolerate anything.

The good news is that it all comes crashing down eventually when the empire collapses.

The bad news is that it all comes crashing down eventually when the empire collapses.

“I wish I could figure out why no one is trying to stop him.”

I think it is because they fear political backlash from being called racist. The only other possible answer is that they support his agenda.

The G.O.P. is the reason Obola is undocumented,
and that Obola can LIE LIE LIE
and that Obola can break every law.

Why? Because the G.O.P. made itself EXEMPT
from Law. EXEMPT.

There are two classes.

The EXEMPT (Congress, Moslems, POTUS, SCOTUS)
and the slaves (useful for taxes, slavery, and organs).

If we had real GOP body in the House and the Senate they would be taking it to Obama on every bill and every penny.

This guilty when the minority and guilty when the majority is BS. I mean I can see the media pushing it, but I can’t understand that after the drubbing they [GOP] gave the liberals over the 2014 election that they actually buy on to this fear.

Vote in Republicans. That has worked so well.

Frist, Lott, Bush 1, Bush 2, Hastert, Boehner, McConnell, et al.

[/s]

Conservatives keep voting for the same and expecting a different result.

That has also worked so well.

If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

He gets away with it because the 'opposition' actually likes what he is doing. It is not about Democrat and Republican; it is about those in power and influence keeping their power and influence.

When they leave their government seats, they seem to turn up a few block away on K Street and similar businesses/corporations feeding off of the teets of Big Government.

It is a self-sustaining Leviathan they have created and feed and become consumed by. But they still retain their power and influence and the big paychecks.
