Over the weekend there was discussion about the Immigration Reform Control Act of 1986 "NOTICE TO CONGRESS BEFORE IMPLEMENTING CHANGES" (Required)
It appears that there doesn't need to be another "bill" passed, as this ACT is supposed to prevent Obama from doing exactly what he is doing.
But I think FReepers may agree with me: So What? It doesn't matter about the act, or any bills the Republicans may pass. Obama will ignore them.
It doesn't matter if the USSC tells Obama to cease and desist, or even if it holds him in contempt. Obama will ignore it.
It doesn't matter if Congress shuts down the Government or attempts to "defund" what Obama is doing. Obama will ignore Congress and continue with his immigration invasion implementation.
Of course, we know that impeachment won't work because the same Democrats in the Senate who support the invasion are going to be the ones who would have to vote to convict and remove Obama, and that WILL NOT HAPPEN!
What is left?
McConnell and Boehner, and Republicans in general must admit to themselves that they are truly powerless to stop Obama now. They must admit that we have had in essence a coup d'etat, and we have now have the beginnings of a dictatorship. Sooner or later, sooner I hope, they will have to go to the people explain to them the gravity of what has happened. They need to explain that Obama has checkmated the Legislative and Judicial branch, and we no longer have a functioning Democracy.

Technically, we never had a democracy, but a constitutional republic.
I think this may very well be the way Obama, Reid & Co. are thinking. However, I think they will be in for a rude awaking. This is America not some third-world country. Americans love our independence and freedom and we’re armed to the teeth and will fight like hell to keep our freedom.
We’ve always held elections on schedule, rain or shine regardless of hard times, strife, war, even civil war. For one thing, our sovereign states in reality and per the constitution and regardless of what the feds may claim otherwise are in charge. The states run the elections, not the feds. And the states are backed up by state guards and armed militia under the command of the state governors. And right now, 30 some odd state governors out of 50- are Republicans. And 66 percent of the state legislatures are controlled by Republicans.
Now would not be a good time for the Marxist Obama and the feds to get too pushy (with or without the help of the traitorous GOPe leadership). Americans love and defend our independence, our constitution, our Declaration, our founding principles and our God-given Liberty.
We will not stand for some jive turkey communist bastard spitting in the eye of our SCOTUS or attempting to block elections or declare martial law as an attempt to overthrow our constitutional government.
If this is Obama’s plan, he’d better pack a lunch and bring a lantern. It’s going to be a long day for him.
If he wants our freedom, he can come and take it!!
Don’t tread on me!!
Hey, maybe that actually will force the Pubes to grow a pair! What a public humiliation.
We have had rogue judges invalidating our votes and that of our representatives. We have unelected unions and unelected government agency heads creating laws, taxes and regulations. We have government agencies that choose which laws to enforce. We have government agencies using their resources to target us, spy on us, and threaten us. And we have government agencies that choose the winners and the losers.
They all worked in conjunction with this president, not the people. But that wasn’t good enough for President Obama. Now, every city is a sanctuary city.
It can’t be about the vote. A vote doesn’t mean anything anymore.
What cannot be denied after this executive action, is that “comprehensive” legislation is a NON starter. obama as proved he will ignore portions of black letter law at his discretion. Any legislation giving authority for legalizing illegals, along with strenghening the border, will find the strengthening portions ignored under prosecutorial discretion. NO on the senate format for remedy. Piecemeal bills only, enforcement, guards, monitors, also remove judges and appeals from the process - streamline and get rid of judicial bottlenecks.
It probably wouldn't hurt if several were found in contempt and jailed. I think this would make the people who have to implement 0bola's policy start to slow walk everything or even halt it entirely.

Obama is smarter than our Congressmen, he knows we won’t de-fund them.
Putin has twisted him around his finger. Iran has run rings around Obama. His ability to hide Bengahzi as the result of an internet video backfired. His handling of the Veterans Affairs health scandal backfired. His rollout on “ObamaCare” was a political disaster.
I really suspect that his Amnesty plan is no more well thought out than all his other policy failures. I suspect that he will create huge Hispanic expectations and not be able to follow-through. His Executive orders Amnesty are likely to be as “on the fly” as his changes to ObamaCare requirements and deadlines.
The man and his staff are political hacks and not good implementers or leaders.
If given a little bit of time, this should all come crashing in around the Big Zero's head. My feeling is that the Republicans should be very slow in how they take apart what Obama is proposing. They should only take a part or delay those things that are likely to work from a political perspective.
It doesn't matter if the USSC tells Obama to cease and desist, or even if it holds him in contempt. Obama will ignore it.Baloney. Pull yourself together. These times call for resolve and clear thinking.
I said on the night that Obama was declared the winner of the presidency that "We just had a bloodless Coup d'état and no one noticed."
