“But no one seems to be able to stop him, so — why not?”

Because it takes 67 votes in the Senate. It’s no mystery how the little bastard gets away with what he does, liberals agree with him.

The courts can do nothing, nobody can without 67 votes to do it.

Once he made it clear he would wipe his ass on the constitution, and Senate Demonrats would let him, there is nothing that can be done!

Yeah?

What did Majority Leader Reid do when faced with a similar obstacle?

Answer: He changed the Senate rule -- because he could do that with a simple 51 vote.

Now, McConnell has the power to call for similar rule changes. Will he? No. He already ceded that authority, just like Boehner ceded the 'power of the purse'.
