President Obama, brandishing the same chainsaw as his predecessors, continues to clear-cut limits on executive power. Obama has been a one-man legislature when it comes to reshaping the Affordable Care Act into something less dysfunctional than the law he signed in 2010, and now he presumes to rewrite immigration law from the Oval Office....◼ Laws Emanate from the White House Now - Mark Krikorian/National Review Online
Obama is, above all, trying to provoke the GOP with his executive amnesty. He knows that his Caesarism infuriates the Right. He remembers how the 1998 Republican impeachment of Bill Clinton hurt the GOP and helped Democrats.
...None of the criteria Obama has laid out to qualify for amnesty benefits has any basis in law or even logic — they’re simply the result of political give and take, i.e., legislation. It’s just that instead of the people’s elected representatives debating and compromising and finally approving a measure, it is Obama’s staff that debates and compromises and finally approves something. Because Congress is now an advisory body with some residual powers, like the British House of Lords. Real law emanates from the White House.◼ Obama: US Taxpayers Must Pay For Illegals’ Children - Neil Munro/Daily Caller

On Thursday night, President Obama delivered his address to the nation on his executive amnesty. It was historic, both in its scope and in its dishonesty: the speech represented a closely-woven and incredible tapestry of falsehood, exposited with a straight face by the greatest liar in modern American history. To those versed in immigration and constitutional law, watching Obama lay out his program felt like watching a madman describe, with preternaturally perfect sincerity, how the moon was constructed of cheese: you know the argument is untrue, but it’s incredible to watch its dogged exposition.◼ How the GOP Can Stop Obama's Unconstitutional Immigration Power Grab - Steve Forbes/FORBES
Obama opened with a glowing talk about the wonders of immigration – generalizations with which virtually Americans agree, as is his wont.
Then the lies began.
–The courts. This usurpation must be challenged in the courts—all the way to the Supreme Court. Thankfully, this is already in train. The state of Texas, which borders Mexico and thus has standing on this matter, is ready to challenge, via lawsuit, our would-be-king President.
...–Confirmations. Senator Ted Cruz (R–Tex.) has proposed that the Senate refuse to confirm any Obama nominee, except for those in areas relating to defense, national security, public safety and law enforcement, until the President backs down. No more judges, no more agency officials, no more cabinet officers. Cruz’s colleagues should adopt this approach.
In addition to exercising these constitutional powers to stop the President, the GOP should start passing various pieces of immigration reform to demonstrate that Republicans are not anti-immigrant but are in favor of commonsensical changes
If Obama can make his own rules and do what he wants, why do we even have a congress? #CCOT #RedNationRising #UniteRight
