and then at the White House it’s criminal behavior as usual
By the time this case reaches Scotus, there is no telling how many illegals will have social security numbers, work permits . . . and voter registrations. Raise your hand if you think Scotus will deny them their "privileges and immunities."
Unless legislative power is removed from the executive branch and returned to its rightful owners, the representatives of a sovereign people in congress, the next president will have extraordinary, extra-constitutional, tyrannical power established in precedent to do great damage to what remains of free government.
IOW, removal of the tyrant in 2016 will not remove the tyranny.
Article V is our only hope.
“It allows Republicans to also show they are committed to ending Obama’s amnesty once and for all in the next Congress. If we agree it is indeed unconstitutional, we have no business funding it when the GOP controls Congress,” the Texas Republican said in a statement ahead of that vote. “The Constitution matters, and we must defend it. That is why we have fought so hard to ensure this vote.”
Cruz’s point of order failed 22-74, with about 20 Republicans joining with the Democrats to oppose it, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. and Cruz’s fellow Texan, Republican Whip John Cornyn.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., ripped Cruz’s maneuver as “irresponsible” in a statement late Saturday:
“While the president’s executive actions on immigration are reprehensible and deserve a strong response, I value the oath I took to support and defend the Constitution too much to exploit it for political expediency,” said Corker. “The Constitution gives Congress the power to fund the government so to assert that the House-passed spending bill is unconstitutional is not only inaccurate but irresponsible.”
“Why should the Supremes step in and punish Obama when voters can do it in 2016?”
America already sent the message. It is being ignored by the Elite.
Hey, this judge says it is not Constitutional but the blackmailed and sissy GOP went along with it so as not to upset their moneybags donors or get their, uh, personal information plastered all over the news, so it must really be Ok, right?
The beautiful thing about this decision, like the constitution itself, is its simplicity and clarity.
You don’t need to be a member of the legal elect to understand it. My kids can understand it.
Obama decreed a law (several laws, in fact) and the President can’t do that. Game Over.
“That last part could be key if this case drifts upward to SCOTUS and, as everyone expects..”
This is what truly pisses me off! The words “drifts toward” is an apt description. These bastards haven’t done an honest day’s work for the entirety of my more than 74 years on this earth. The whole legal “system” is simply a diddle that does almost nothing and costs literally billions when you factor in the losses attributable to their interminable delays in decision making.They are perhaps the most shameful of the three branches of government.
