Paul Ryan: Obama presidency "increasingly lawless"
CBS News ^ | 2-2-14 | Jake Miller

Posted on 02/02/2014 4:10:07 PM PST by afraidfortherepublic

Top House Republicans slammed President Obama’s embrace of executive action to move his agenda forward on Sunday, saying the president’s freelancing creates a trust deficit that makes bipartisan legislating more difficult.

“We have an increasingly lawless presidency where he is actually doing the job of Congress, writing new policies and new laws without going through Congress. Presidents don't write laws, Congress does,” Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told ABC. “Executive orders are one thing, but executive orders that actually change the statute, that's totally different.”

Hey, Ryan. If Mexicans can break the law, why can’t Obama?

I’m surprised (and happy) that they’re finally beginning to notice.

Paul Ryan’s going to prison with the rest of them.

He’s almost as big a fraud as Obama.

So what is Ryan’s plan to stop this lawlessness.

I find it a disgrace that Americans are so afraid of being called a racist that they are letting Obama get away with anything he wants to do. America has lost it courage. We’re all cowards now.

Hey Paul, pretty selective about which laws can be broken aren’t you? When you advocate rewarding lawbreakers how can you criticize the president for breaking the law.

Ya-—Ryan-—Such a proponent of Natural Law Theory, who was actually talking about “Just Law” (Natural Moral Law) promoting sodomy, a Vice? How irrational is that???? And, YES, “Just Law” HAS to be Rational, to be “Just Law”.

We have thousands of laws NOW that should be “Null and Void” NOT just what you are citing. Why such late outrage?. “Post Constitutional” is how Mark Levine described our country a year ago.

Let’s get back to Rule of Law-—not, Rule of Man.

Congress needs to reestablish Constitution Law—years ago.

It doesn't matter if they notice. They are complicit with the Obungler, because they will not do anything about it.

Do you live in Vienna and therefore not understand American politics? Or do you believe yourself to subscribe to the Vienna School?

For pete’s sake, Ryan is a horrible communicator and a totally wooden personality, but he has excellent if somewhat bloodless ideas.

And as for the Mexicans, would you rather have illegal Mexican gardeners and maids working for a living, or LEGAL, government-imported Middle Eastern or African Muslim “refugees” supported by us, the taxpayers?

Legalize the Latin American workers and kick the federal and state supported anti-American “legal immigrant” bums out of the country. No illegal Mexican has ever attacked us, but a lot of legal Middle Easterners (including most of the 9/11 jihadis), African and even European Muslims (think Boston bombing) have done so.
