THE IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY: Caesar Obama
http://www.wnd.com ^ | 11/20/14 | Pat Buchanan

Posted on 11/21/2014 4:47:25 AM PST by Lucky9teen

Asserting a legal and constitutional authority he himself said he did not have, President Obama is going rogue, issuing an executive amnesty to 4 to 5 million illegal aliens.

He will order the U.S. government not to enforce the law against these 5 million and declare that they are to be exempt from deportation and granted green cards.

Where did Obama get his 4-5 million figure, not 2-4 million, or 5-7 million? Nowhere in law, but plucked out of his own mind, as to what he can get away with. Barack Obama just felt it was about right.

Thus does our constitutional law professor-president “faithfully execute” the laws of the United States he has twice swore to uphold?

Our rogue president has crossed an historic line, and so has the republic. Future presidents will cite the “Obama precedent” when they declare they will henceforth not enforce this or that law, because of a prior commitment to some noisy constituency.

We have just taken a monumental step away from republicanism toward Caesarism. For this is rule by diktat, the rejection of which sparked the American Revolution.

The political, psychological and moral effects of Obama’s action will be dramatic. Sheriffs, border patrol and immigration authorities, who have put their lives on the line to secure our broken borders, have been made to look like fools. Resentment and cynicism over Obama’s action will be deeply corrosive to all law enforcement.

Businessmen who obeyed the law and refused to hire illegals, hiring Americans and legal immigrants instead, and following U.S. and state law on taxes, wages and withholding, also look like fools today.

Obama’s action makes winners of the scofflaws and hustlers.

Bosses who hired illegals off the books will also receive de facto amnesty. La Raza is celebrating.

"I came, I Saw, I Conquered"! Julias Caesar

"I came, I Saw, I Destroyed"! Barack Obama

I pray Obama finds the same fate that found Caesar and that his ambitions will be his ultimate downfall, even though Obama's ambitions are not entirely for making his legacy, but to fulfill his fathers dream of a Marxist Utopia.

He just stabbed in the back all the people trying to get into this country legally. And what is this “separation of families” crap the left keeps using? If I sneak into France and have a kid and I live there for years and they finally deport me, I sure as hell aren’t going to leave my kid behind.

Glenn Beck yesterday described this as the equivalent of Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon. What he did not mention is how that ended. Do the enemies of tyranny have any politically feasible response short of the one presented by Brutus and Cassius? I dearly hope so, for the sake of the nation.

Last summer horrified Americans watched the advance forces invade the US --- so-called "unaccompanied minors" (with their parents waiting in the wings) poured across the border. We later learned these "impoverished" Third World parents paid drug cartels upwards of $10,000 as escorts.

E/O MEANS THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT---Undermining US ntl security is the first order of business ---sending in pressure groups over the border, tightly organized so that the greedy, grabby Third World can get its hands on US riches.

God only knows what seedy deals these hellholes made w/ vote-crazed Obama to facilitate the US takeover.

The takeover scheme is fashioned after ancient formulas --- where barbarians, brigands, thieves, predators, and murderers invade a country---lusting after its riches and power.

BREITBART.COM---Michelle Bachmann: 'Melt the Phone Lines' Against Exec Amnesty / Ian Hanchett (on Twitter @IanHanchett)

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) on Fox's "Hannity" urged members of the public to "melt the phone lines" to defund President Obama's executive order on immigration.

"Congress has a responsibility to uphold the laws of the land as well, and we can defund this president's illegal amnesty. That's what we must do. We can't do it alone. We can't do it alone. We need your viewers."

(A) Congress will be back December 1st through December 11th. This will be decided in that period of time. We need to have your viewers melt the phone lines. Congress isn't here, they're gone from Washington tonight, but from December 1st to the 11th we need them to melt the phone lines and say 'defund amnesty.'

(B) We need Americans to go to Senators' and Congressman's office. I'm calling on your viewers to come to DC on Wednesday, December 3rd at high noon on the west steps of the Capitol to rally, and to go Senators and Congressmen because nothing frightens a congressman like the whites of his constituents' eyes" she said.

Bachmann added, "when I was watching this speech, I felt like I was watching Jonathan Gruber---because all I heard was contempt for the American people--- as though Obama thought we were so stupid, that somehow he could say that his illegal actions were legal and we would all turn over, roll over, and believe it."

Yes. An Article V state amendments convention. It is the last peaceful means available.

I truly expect him to assume Congress’ roll in the “power of the purse” next. Why not? Will they stand meekly by then too?

Freepers ther is nothing new under the sun:

Around 300 AD, the emperor Diocletian enacted a series of constitutional reforms. In one such reform, Diocletian asserted the right of the Emperor to take power without the theoretical consent of the Senate, thus depriving the Senate of its status as the ultimate depository of supreme power. Diocletian's reforms also ended whatever illusion had remained that the Senate had independent legislative, judicial, or electoral powers. The Senate did, however, retain its legislative powers over public games in Rome, and over the senatorial order. The Senate also retained the power to try treason cases, and to elect some magistrates, but only with the permission of the Emperor. In the final years of the Empire, the Senate would sometimes try to appoint their own emperor, such as in case of Eugenius who was later defeated by forces loyal to Theodosius I. The Senate remained the last stronghold of the traditional Roman religion in the face of the spreading Christianity, and several times attempted to facilitate the return of the Altar of Victory (first removed by Constantius II) to the senatorial curia.

And we will. Or rather, his subjects will.

For it is written in The Book Of The Won, Chapter Won, Verse One:

"Thou shalt believe and obey every word that proceedeth from the mouth of your Lord and Savior, The Obama, the Messiah, The Won - lest thou be revealed as racist, and other diverse names besides."

“Businessmen who obeyed the law and refused to hire illegals, hiring Americans and legal immigrants instead, and following U.S. and state law on taxes, wages and withholding, also look like fools today.”

Yesterday a local builder said that he planned to dump workers and replace them with cheaper illegals. He said he would save money and get more work out of them. He predicted that would happen all over the country. He was making the point that blacks should be furious that Obama has sold them out.

We used to be in the construction business and last night my husband was telling me that our former competitors in CA now mostly have Mexican employees. He said would you want hard workers who will work for less or a bunch of guys standing there reading their union book to you?

I had this union book thing happen so many times it made me sick - the “employee” (actually an employee of the union that we had to pay) explaining that contractually we had to pay them despite accomplishing nothing. As I said, we USED to be in the construction business.

Where did Obama get his 4-5 million figure, not 2-4 million, or 5-7 million?

Probably from the same place where he got all of his Obamacare numbers. Some MIT mathematician. Keep an eye out for his videos and the accompanying White House words of approval.
