“If the president says we’re not going to enforce the law, there’s really nothing anyone can do about it,” University of Pennsylvania constitutional law professor Kermit Roosevelt said. “It’s clearly a political calculation.”......................Yes we can impeach him or vote him out in Nov.

When 0bama said, “it is the right thing to do for the American people,” he meant everyone OUTSIDE the US but in any other N or S AMERICAN countries.

I can see November from my toothbrush.

The 0bama Administration is about Lawlessness and Anarchy.

He needs to be called on it.

What is a Writ of Mandamus?

Excerpt from article:

A writ of mandamus is a court order which compels someone to execute a duty which he or she is legally compelled to complete. This type of writ can also be used to order a lower court to complete a duty which is assigned by law. The writ of mandamus is rarely used, because it must be demonstrated that there is no other remedy available and that someone is suffering an injustice as a result of the failure to complete a legally required duty. It can also be very disruptive and for that reason judges are reluctant to grant such writs unless they are truly necessary.

Obama’s policy strategy: Ignore laws

YA THINK??!!??

I thought I had gone mad, and nobody else noticed. Sort of like "K" from Kafka's The Castle.

Now that I am persuaded that I have not gone mad, what can be done about it?

Do I need to re-read the entire set of the Federalist Papers to know if this scenario even occured to the founding fathers?
I know some presidents have ignored the Supreme Court; I know some Congresses have ignored some presidents. But I never recall a president rendering or attempting to render Congress irrelevant.

We need to hear from more actual and real Constitutional Scholars, but not any self-appointed affirmative action ones. Unfortunately, there a no living ex-Supreme Court Justices that I am aware of.

The central issue, more important than anything else, now that we know that a silent coup is in progress...

What can be done about it? How soon? Who can lead? The Potempkin Congress has already demonstrated its complicity or helplessness; the loyal opposition is enjoying their perks and doing nothing else; impotence rules.

What's left?

Ignoring the law - isn’t that synomymous with BREAKING the law?

And wasn’t Richard Nixon forced to resign for a much less serious breach of the law than releasing highly classified national secrets, or of just ordering the implementation of a policy that was nowhere supported by force of law, or by selective refusal to enforce law already on the books that has the specific responsibility for keeping the civil order?

This isn’t about a traffic ticket, or simply insulting an officer of the law - this is outright DEFIANCE of clearly written and existing law that has serious consequences.

There are three chances of impeaching Barack Hussein, fat, slim and none. And not one of them has any possibility of removing him from office.

Even if the House COULD be persuaded to take up articles of impeachment, the Senate would never act.

“Stroke of the pen, law of the land - cool”, was once famously remarked, but this isn’t even a stroke of the pen.

Just an oral demand, with zip for authority.

He is following the process set down by the national socialist party in Germany to its tee.

IF, this congress does not draw the line and threaten to call out forces to stop this, then we will become the new NAZI Germany.

It is now left up to the American people. The legal system has been taken control of by the new national socialists. They are now moving to complete the plan.

Sometimes this makes for less than ideal policy situations - such as the action we took on immigration - but the president isn’t going to be stonewalled by the Constitution, he will pursue whatever means available to do business for just over half of the American people.”

There, fixed it for him.

None of his actions has surprised me one bit, however it has upset me quite a bit. The blind eye of the LSM is even more irritating and completely un-American. Just imagine if this were a republican president...

With the exception of my 6th great grandfather, John Carpenter (a neighbor, close associate, friend and revolutionary brother in arms of one George Washington) in my paternal grandmother Robinson’s family, my other English and German ancestors waited in sometimes years long lines, got on a hot, crowded, rickety ship, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Ellis Island.

My wife’s English and Irish ancestors also waited in sometimes years long lines, got on a hot, crowded, rickety ship, crossed the Atlantic and arrived at Ellis Island.

There they were deloused, given a cursory medical exam, interrogated, their immigration papers checked and, with just what they were able to carry, took the ferry to the mainland to begin their lives as “Americans.” Those who did not have a complete grasp of English soon undertook formal and informal of the native language and the rest, as they say, is history.

That’s how it USED TO BE DONE.

The 14th Amendment, INTENDED by the drafters to ONLY grant citizenship to emancipated slaves by overturning the Dred Scott decision, has been tortured beyond recognition by the radical left to also include so-called “anchor babies” born to Latinas who stroll across the border to download junior HERE to bypass all the normal immigration processes described above. As an intern in a San Diego ER, my late niece caught many of those babies as part of her OB/GYN training.

By executive fiat, today Obama just took the first step to COMPLETELY open our borders (trust me, it is the first step only!) His action makes FOOLS of those who, like our great-great grandparents, played by the rules. It also makes fools of those waiting in those overseas lines to come here THE RIGHT WAY!!!

A wag declared that a nation without borders is NOT A NATION!!

A Latino “immigration lawyer” on FNN this morning said that if Congress doesn’t like it, they can change the law. He went on to say “THEY DON’T HAVE THE GUTS.” Sadly, he’s right. But if these clowns on Jenkins’ Hill think those latinos (legal and illegal) are going to vote for the GOP, they should be careful to not let their minds wander: They’re too small to be out alone.

Not that it would do any good, I called my congresscritters’ (202-224-3121) this morning to ask when they plan to offer Articles of Impeachment for this, the Law of the Seas Treaty, the activities of Holder, et al, the waste of taxpayer bucks on the green jobs idiocy, etc., etc. I’ll spare you the entire list as it runs to a few hundred pages. If impeachment is not their plan, I asked them to have the decency to RESIGN as the first branch of this government is clearly no longer needed and Obama could use the bucks saved to help buy the coming “election” or perhaps resume his taxpayer funded World Tour.

Bottom line? If you are STILL unconvinced that this guy is a clear and present danger to YOUR way of life, you probably live in a refrigerator crate behind a vacant warehouse. And if that is NOT your current living condition, re-elect this guy and it shortly will be.

As of Friday, the federal government won’t deport undocumented immigrants under age 30 who came to the United States as children. It is a temporary, de facto implementation of a part of the stalled DREAM Act.

The result: a loud message to Hispanic voters to remember Obama in November.

Come November this will be a wash. IMHO, there will be loads of TV ads in battleground states about the hundreds of Mexicans killed by firearms from Operation Fast and Furious.

Indeed, he is the messy president, the anarchic lawless homo of the household.

If the GOP-E were smart, they would get a conservative latino to run as Vice Prez since Obama has decided to be pushed away in guilt by the illegals. It would rid us of this black NAzi liberal gay preference.

However, knowing the GOP-E’s proclivity for preferential treatment amongst their own and homosexuals, they will not do it. And the latinos will be homo-nigg@rized to worshiping the man who yet pushed himself away for them to rule his a$$. But so it is...
