Just how much will patriotic American citizens take? Millions of conservatives are expressing utter disgust and anger at this latest criminal act by an alien Oval Office occupier intent on transforming our country into a land more closely resembling the ritual mass-beheading scenes from Mel Gibson’s film Apocalypto than the one we grew up in. Obama flouts the Constitution and sneers at the American people with his announcement of unlegislated de facto amnesty for millions of La Raza’s Aztlan Reconquistadors, and he dares anyone to stop him.
We’ve seen the numerous video clips from recent years showing Obama himself repeatedly describing, in his own clear and unmistakable words, such unilateral presidential action as being illegal; the plainly unconstitutional abuse of power. The videos have been played and replayed on TV and everywhere else — not that blatant evidence of wrongdoing has ever mattered to him or to most in his party.
Democrats are lying when they defiantly claim that previous presidents of both parties have done the same thing Obama has just done. Past presidents merely used executive orders only to modify and augment pieces of properly passed immigration legislation which had been debated and voted on by the United States Congress. By cooperating with a willing Congress, they acted in accordance with the will of the people as expressed through our elected representatives.
As a bitterly wounded and even more spiteful (than he was already) lame duck following what amounted to an electoral holocaust for his policies and his party, Obama’s pathologically narcissistic personality now refuses to go through the legal process at all. Instead of working with Congress to create, sign, enact, and/or augment new immigration legislation (which isn’t needed anyway; what is and has always been needed is the long-neglected simple enforcement of existing laws), he thinks he can thumb his nose at us and just make his own rules, in direct violation of the law, and maybe even get away with it.
Can he?
Many outraged patriots are talking about rising up en masse against Obama’s tyrannical regime and stopping it by force, if the Republican leaders we just resoundingly elected to stop him by more polite formal means fail to do so. Yes, there are rumors of civil war.
Republicans in the House of Representatives should first sue the Obama administration to seek a judicial ruling and remedy against Obama’s usurpations. To their credit, they are doing so once more where Obamacare is concerned, and appear likely to succeed this time — however, John Boehner has so far declined to include Obama’s executive amnesty overreach as part of that lawsuit. Obviously, it is imperative that this be done, immediately, and it is imperative that the Supreme Court save us from the impending jeopardy of widespread civil unrest and even violence by countervailing against Obama’s attempt at flagrant despotism.
We need an emergency injunction against Obama from the black-robed branch of the federal government — the balancers of power who, after all, have sworn to slam the brakes on all such wild, reckless abuses of the Executive. Even the most liberal of the Justices must see that Obama is not merely supplementing existing law with his amnesty declaration. He is, for the umpteenth time throughout his administration, displaying open contempt for the idea of operating within any passed law.
Whether this scofflaw foreigner Obama will actually comply with a SCOTUS ruling against this dictatorial decree of administrative amnesty for millions of illegal invaders remains to be seen. If not, impeachment and removal from office must take place. Barring that happening, all bets are off.
Lock and load.
The author is exactly right. If Congress or the Supreme Court do not weigh in on this, then it will, by default, become the duty of Americans to stop it. And, NO ONE will like that.
The Political process.
The Legislative process.
The Judicial process.
None of these things will change things. We’ve crossed the Rubicon and the only solution is now apparent, although we may be slow to act. In the end, we will have no choice.
Sue, sue, sue. Yeah, go ahead. The illegals will be here, “we can’t deport 11 million people” and we won’t be able to deport 16 MM. We won’t be able to affect the mad rush coming to every border crossing. We won’t be able to properly vet 5% of the newcomers for disease, prior criminal or deportation record. Sorry if this sounds pessimistic, but this is designed to produce a fait accompli that cannot be reversed. Just like 0care.
True, but will it be enough?
Our Republic has been dealt a permanent destructive blow.
I fear the most likely result will be that the U.S. will descend into a spainish speaking third world sewer over the next 40 years.
Unless I am imagining some movie script with courageous Governors calling up citizens militia and taking steps to close the border and outright deport any and all illegals, I don't see our Republic restored in any way.
As Steyn said, demographics is destiny -- the utterly evil left know they have dealt the fatal blow to our Republic.
If congress were able to get an emergency injunction from the SCOTUS, anything Obama does in violation of the ruling would give us tons of ammo to use in impeachment threat/proceedings. Obama will be seen as that much more of the criminal villain he is, for ignoring the Supreme Court.
Although congress definitely appears more inclined to use denial of funding remedies instead....
Wanna bet? Better to be deported than shot. We need meaningful enforcement of our laws.
With all due respect, you are thinking theoretical. Depending upon how far 0bama wishes to take this, there is no law or judicial ruling or poll result or even election result that can have any effect on the undeniable fact-on-the-ground that these people are HERE. There is no law that can have any effect because there is no enforcement mechanism that can be brought to bear. And of course, there is substantial resistance to impeachment, and who knows how that plays out. (In my view, it never gets to first base, but that’s just my opinion)
This is like a bank robber boasting to you/us “hey, I robbed the First National Bank down the street, look at all this loot!”
Well, what if there were no police to come after the guy. What if there was no mechanism for say the IRS to seize his bank account (as if....)
How is this guy not de facto walking around with the money he took?
These folks have EMTALA guaranteed access to hospital emergency rooms, they have free public education, virtually every state grants them the right to get driver licenses.
So how do they differ from citizens? They don’t get to vote (legally) for the pieces of crap WE get to vote for? Oh, boy, that’s just horrible. Not.
Can congress request this be heard at once because of the Constitution is hanging in the balance
