In the face of nearly two dozen videos of him saying he lacked legal authority to unilaterally enact immigration reform, President Obama went ahead and did so, citing a “higher authority.”
“As President of the United States, I felt myself hemmed in by the limitations placed on the office by the US Constitution,” Obama admitted. “As a human being, though, I could not bear the continuing injustice inflicted on the people who have entered this country illegally.”
“My dilemma was how to reconcile the guidelines of an aging framework for a nation's government and the call of my conscience,” Obama explained. “The idea that doing the right thing could be impeded by an unworkable process was unbearable. In the end, I felt that freeing these unfortunate people from their predicament was what God wanted me to do. So, I did it.”
“The President's notion that his interpretation of what God wants him to do takes precedence over his obligations under the Constitution and our laws is the path to tyranny,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) contended. “It's the same 'divine right' argument that kings used to use in order to fend off limits on their power in the era before the American Revolution established representative democracy as our form of government. The damage that President Obama's retrograde revolution would do to our freedom far outweighs any good that might come from his claimed humanitarian motives.”

I could almost wish he would... a jump to theocracy (even if wrong) would make more sense than this intense egomania of his.
Is that an actual Trey Gowdy quote?
Higher Authority = Soros
Caesar morphing into Caligula he is.
Higher Authority = Peruvian flake
