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.

This latest gambit by Ryan strikes me as a head-fake to distract from his recent disastrous whoring for amnesty on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.
He knows that he has lost any standing he ever had with the Tea Party types, so he is apparently trying to take a ride on Ted Cruz’s and Mike Lee’s coattails by decrying Obama’s “lawlessness.” (As others have posted on this thread: Is he only now just noticing this? Something does not add up here.)
I am not falling for it. I suspect he still has a major (almost psychologically unbalanced) attachment and commitment to Amnesty.
I do not trust Ryan any further than I can throw him.
P.S. I cannot throw Ryan very far.
Is this statement in the same Stoopid Category as "she's only a little bit pregnant"?

Our Founding Fathers set up a republic with representative leadership not only to guarantee freedom, but also because any nation larger than a city-state cannot be run effectively by one man. This is definitely a step in the wrong direction.
Paul Ryan: Open Borders RINO
That’s quite a catch-up post Ryan-Murray.
