McMorris Rodgers: ‘He may have his pen and his phone, but we have the Constitution’
House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.) and Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) laid out their plans to counter President Barack Obama’s executive overreach, in a conference call Thursday.
The House will continue its efforts to push back against the “imperial presidency” next week, by voting on additional legislation that would allow Congress to challenge executive moves in federal court.
“Clearly President Obama has taken the über presidency to a whole new level,” McMorris Rodgers said. “While it’s not new for presidents to stretch their constitutional limits of power, executive overreach has accelerated at a faster pace under President Obama.”
“Throughout his tenure we have witnessed a pattern,” she said. “When the president disagrees with laws, he ignores them. And now that Obamacare isn’t working, President Obama is rewriting his own law on a whim.”

‘He may have his pen and his phone, but we have the Constitution’
We have What’s LEFT of the Constitution!
The Constitution is still around. Just in hiding.
May 16, 2014, “Operation American Spring” is coming to Washington D.C.
Yep, for dear life.
Why doesn’t the House simply exercise its power of the purse? They have done precious little to constain Obama’s reckless and destructive spending. Its no wonder he thinks he can do whatever he wants.
BOOKMARKED!!
“Operation American Spring”
Impeach the usurper!!
Obama is at 55% unapproval but the republicans are afraid they won’t win the 2014 elections. So they let him keep spending. Could that be the reason for his low numbers? Are they giving him enough rope to hang himself? Notice I didn’t say “lynch himself”.
Rather the Republicans KNOW that there will be political bloodbath for the Democrats come this November in the midterms. Look for the Senate to get conservative GOPers.
Republicans are hoping for Dems to lose instead of working to win. I think the winning formula for Republicans is simple: Stand For Something.

Dinchoo guys get the memo?
The Constitution is a “Living Document”, which is Left-speak for “Dead Letter”.
“Our Constitution was not written in the sands to be washed away by each wave of new judges blown in by each successive political wind.” Hugo Black

As correct as that sentiment is, nevertheless, that is exactly what has happened.
In other news, next week the Defense Dept. is launching intercept missiles at a Chinese ICBM launched at the US today.
These stupid PR votes are like car dealership adds promising the lowest prices. They are meaningless and have lost the luster or PR influence.
Look mama we’re do’n sum’n....
won’t amount to a hill of beans
