“During a visit to Las Vegas, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said Wednesday Congress should pass a bill to fund Homeland Security without conditions, essentially stepping back from a battle with President Barack Obama over his executive actions on immigration,” the Las Vegas Review Journal reports. “The possible Republican presidential candidate said national security is too important to hold up funding, although he disagrees with Obama’s moves to go around Congress to halt deportations of up to 5 million undocumented immigrants.”

Ka-bu-ki, bu-ki means aloha, from the island, paradise...

Why do people keep mentioning his name for 2016? He’s not going to run.
He is Jeb’s minnie me.
Now McCain’s minnie me IS running, at least until the SC primary.
“Ka-bu-ki, bu-ki means aloha, from the island, paradise...”
Huh ?
.
he says, but there is no evidence for that
Rubio.
Meh, no surprise.
Is there ever a point these guys think the Democrats should surrender for the good of the country?
Guess he and Judge Hanen disagree fundamentally.
We now have a genuine Constitutional Crisis going and all three branches are in on the fight.
Nice to know who the turncoats are.
Sing it. Kinda like one of Elvis’ movie songs.
I’m proud to say I wasn’t fooled for a minute.
Did Walker issue an opinion on Hansen’s ruling and I missed it? Being as Wisconsin is not party of the 26-state Amnesty lawsuit, and building a Mexican consulate there, probably not.
As Palin spits on the ground she won for him.
