Can Obama be held liable for dereliction of duty for not carrying out his duty to enforce the laws of the country? Could victims of illegal aliens or their families sue?

The president has absolute immunity from civil suits based on his official acts (under a SCOTUS decision called Nixon v. Fitzgerald).

Hell, even most of the current Senators, Congressmen, and Governors should be in jail for encouraging the foreign invasion and subsequent slaughter of American citizens. If it were up to me, all the open borders/amnest jerks would be deported to socialist Venezuela or some other third world shithole. .

Obama set most of this bs up. I want him to pay. Lock the POS up.

I wouldn’t approve of any group overthrowing our government — foreign or domestic. That includes dems, libs, and other swamp creatures.

And I wouldn’t have a problem if they held demos to the same standard. I do have a problem when our federal government is used to TARGET the president the people elected.

The GOP should be sued as well for not suing to stop DACA before it was illegally implemented by the Kenyanesian Usurper.

The invasion has been going on since the 1950’s; probably longer. We can’t lay this all at obama’s feet as much as I’d like to.

There’s a bill on McConnell’s desk called “Kate’s Law” named after Kate Steinle; another sweet innocent girl killed by an illegal alien. It has been sitting there since it passed the House over a year ago.

It would prevent funds from going to sanctuary cities and it would allow people to sue sanctuary cities and the leaders who allow illegals to stay under their protection. The big question is why hasn’t this passed through the Senate and been sent to President Trump’s desk for signing.

Sadly, yes. I realize that America has become little better than your average banana republic, but once you start actually prosecuting the previous administration for what are essentially political crimes, the line to serious death and destruction on a massive scale is pretty direct.

Now, that doesn't mean you can't prosecute actual crimes, for which there is incontrovertable proof, but crimes that essentially boil down to policy differences won't do anything to heal this land from the grasping stench of the grifters.

Mitch is a piece of ... I shouldn’t say.

He’s done as much to hurt conservatives as anyone in DC. He pretty much controls the Senate PAC money. If a conservative republican candidate isn’t loaded with their own money, they’re very unlikely to get past the primary because Mitch will be spending the senate PAC money on a GOPe candidate.

He is immune. Because of his skin tone.

I don’t think you can sue him for actions taken while in office.

Sovereign immunity or something like that.

Don’t do this. You’ll dissuade anyone honest from running for office for fear of a lifetime of litigation.

The better choice is to impeach the judges who are demanding the federal government disregard the law. Impeach the judge who ordered Trump to continue the DACA program. Impeach the judges saying that the Trump EPA has to follow impossible environmental regulations other judges have found unconstitutional.

Does a dog in a ghetto, where there is no animal control, have to worry about being picked up and taken to the pound?
