GOP chairmen vow to stop Obama
The Hill ^ | 11/19/14 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 11/19/2014 11:45:22 AM PST by jimbo123

Two powerful Republican committee chairmen warned President Obama in a letter Wednesday that they would use every tool at their disposal to stop his executive actions on immigration.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) added to the chorus of GOP criticism against the president, calling an executive order “ill advised” and urging Obama to work with Congress to find a compromise.

“Let’s secure the border, enforce our immigration laws in the interior of the United States, and build a broad consensus for immigration reform,” they wrote.

“Otherwise, as the chairmen of the committees with oversight over border security and our nation’s immigration laws, we will be forced to use the tools afforded to Congress by the Constitution to stop your administration from successfully carrying out your plan.”

Enough with the talk. Step up to the plate and do something contructive.

LOL!

Goodlatte is a previous sponsor of legislation to drastically increase H1B immigration.

Goodlatte,Cornyn, and the rest of the GOPe are just upset that they aren't getting a "cut" of the amnesty sweepstakes. It's all kabuki theater.

The only principled opponent of amnesty is Jeff Sessions.

Biden 2015!

Two years with a Republican Congress will make the time seem like the 80s by comparison.

’ll bet Barky will also ban flying the U.S. flag and the wearing of patriotic T-shirts because they will “offend” our new “U.S. citizens”.

******

When posters here listen to traitor Obama, listen for the time he refers to his favorite phrase that he often uses when he makes a decision on an important/controversial subject like immigration reform.

He will say something like this, maybe say it several times:

"It was the right thing to do. It was the right thing to do", as if he prayed all night asking God what to do, and he was given some divine inspiration to make such a terrible decision.

What a bunch of crap. I hope that the American people condemn and jeer Obama the rest of his life for such traitorous action.

You know, when the citizens pass a law designed to save the taxpayers from having to fund illegal aliens, or to defend our states against the onslaught of gay marriage, the leftists are out in seconds with a hand-picked judge in a hand-picked federal court to get a TRO stopping the law and delaying its implementation. AND in those cases, the laws were constitutional and lawfully passed. It seems like it should be possible for all kinds of groups impacted by this unlawful and unconstitutional conduct to file a complaint and obtain a TRO and Preliminary Injunction putting it on hold. There will be fights on standing, sure, so everyone, from citizens to legislators to state officials to border patrol officers to legal immigrants should be filing lawsuits until one of them is heard. If they slap them all down, it is truly the time to hit the streets and head to the hills.

The only way to stop him is impeachment and removal, or a military coup. Enough of this nonsense. They will not stop him and they do not want to stop him.

What the king is saying is that if you can somehow get into our country and evade law enforcement you will be granted amnesty. This will in fact open the floodgates for the illegals. It will be immediately apparent fore all to see.

Then God damn them both to frozen stinking hell forever.

They're traitors, lower than arsonists, rapists, or even child beaters like Adrian Peterson.

The military won't do jack. He's their boss and that's the way they see it.

They would put it right back on us.

I’m STILL on hold at 202 224 3121 (Capitol switchboard) to tell MY representative to STOP OBAMA’S sovereignty destroying “amnesty” bravo sierra!
(Looks like the switchboard up there is on the verge of another meltdown. Add YOUR voice to the chorus or don’t bitch about this would-be tyrant’s efforts to finish off America.)

Two years of a Republican Congress will keep the temporary occupier of the Oval Office from completely destroying the rule of law and the Constitution. We have never had such a compulsive total liar in the White House. The only thing transparent about his administration are the easily discovered and outed constant lies.
