‘Open Rebellion’: Chaos if Republicans Don’t Withhold Funding for Obama Executive Amnesty
Breitbart.com/Big-Government ^ | 11-19-2014 | Matthew Boyle

Conservatives say that Republican leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner and incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, will be “complicit” in President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty if they don’t pull out all the stops to block him.

They warn that chaos is around the corner if that’s how it goes down, even though they’d much rather have Republican leaders fight the president alongside them.

“Fight or be complicit in lawlessness,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton told Breitbart News, is the message to congressional GOP leaders on Obama’s amnesty.

If Republicans move forward with the plan from House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) to fund the entire government—including Obama’s executive amnesty, which the president is set to announce on Thursday night—in an omnibus spending bill, a Senate GOP aide told Breitbart News conservatives will spread chaos across Washington.

“If Obama announces executive amnesty and the House passes an omnibus with no language blocking it, there will be no Senate vote, because conservatives will burn down the Capitol,” the aide said. When asked to clarify if he was serious they’d burn the building to the ground—or if he was speaking metaphorically—the aide said “open rebellion.”

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), one of many Republicans conference-wide who will be helping lead the charge to force Boehner to stop Obama, told Breitbart News that Republicans must stand and fight—and that they can and must win.

“Even though around three-quarters of voters this year opposed the idea of executive amnesty, President Obama is apparently going to announce his new royal amnesty decree before going to Las Vegas to promote it,” Gohmert said,

> I am an American, born and raised; I am a Vietnam veteran; and I’ve played by the rules my whole life. I want to know what laws I can break, that, by breaking will I not only NOT be punished, but I’ll be rewarded.

I’m ready to stop paying taxes and be lawless too. It’s going to take a massive taxpayer revolt to remove the funds that they are using to opress us to get their attention. Hell I’ll just dump out what money from the bank I have left so they can’t freeze the accounts and if the want to file a lien on my house which isn’t paid for let ‘em.

If Obola has anything to say about the governors not “enforcing” his executive tyranny, they can just reply that they’re not doing anything he hasn’t done.

Boehner obviously has a drinking problem which usually leads to bad decsions. Probably have footage of him banging some hooker when he was drunk a few times...who knows

I could say that they didn't need to vote for it when they knew the rats could pass it without them, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on that.

But that doesn't explain why amnesty comes up every couple of years, and we have to push the GOP to oppose it. I know they can read polls as well as the rest of us can, and the numbers only rise as far as a majority of Americans opposing amnesty.

IMO, like so many other things odumbo and the demodummies have done, this too will hurt the LEGAL Hispanics and others who have come to this country via the proper means and are good and productive members of our society. Unfortunately these “LEGALS” will be cast into the sea of “illegals” and ultimately suffer the wrath of those who fight against amnesty.

governors of states like Texas can also ask a federal court or Supreme court for an emergency injunction to stop Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty order

States can also secede or call for a constitutional convention.

Obama will grant many more new work visas , 500,000 technology work immigrant visas

Do you have a source for that?

I hope it doesn’t come to this. I hope Sobbing John and Sing Along With Mitch get a backbone transplant.

“A State Department program will offer visas with a pathway to citizenship for 500,000 new technology workers”

that’s a quote from that article

The Republicans now own the two issues....stop and reverse the invasion of the US and end Obamacare. Why? They used them as a campaign issue, and they're stuck with winning with them. They did not campaign with promises to enable the Chamber of Commerce in its cheap labor lust.

They do not get to "use it as a campaign issue" and wait so they can elect the next President.

it is my belief that the requests for injunction will be provided to several federal judges before dawn on Saturday

After today even more so, we do not live in a Country or Nation. We live in an economic free trade zone to be manipulated by our Ivy league gloBULList betters.

The kicker to this is that Rush said they plan on flying all these children’s parents to the US for free and to bring the children here of those who are already here, as many as 15,000,000 people

It’s all pointless until Jan 1 anyway. They need to think this thing through and it will take time to come up with an effective strategy.

Yeah, can I just declare myself a “shadow American” and stop paying taxes etc. until this thing is decided? There might be some advantages to starting over with bammy-amnesty. Kind of a do-it-yourself witness protection program. These illegals have got it pretty good in a lot of ways. Wonder how many legal citizens we reboot through amnesty if it becomes an option?
