Great post.

The reason is that one can easily understand the gist of both the pro- and con- briefs. It would be foolhardy for 'conservatives' to dismiss the NYT's rather cavalier approach because despite its tone, it fairly represents one prevalent school of legal thought.

What's really going on, as we all know, is that our Constitution, designed as a contract between the American people, their sovereign states, and a highly restricted central government, cannot serve as the foundational document of a top-down, heavily centralized, all-powerful, Federal Government, which directs the daily life of every citizen in an increasing variety of ways. So it all comes down to a rather brutal choice: Scrap the COTUS .... OR .... Follow it.

No doubt at all as to which choice an Obama voter might choose. No doubt as to where the Democrat Party's choice might fall. Democracy always becomes the tyranny of the stupid .... and those who are in the pay of the elected.

While I concur that the executive branch has prosecutorial discretion, it does not have the ability to completely ignore the law, NOR does it have the ability to award benefits to be provided where they are not enumerated as allowed in the law.

Yes, the notion of ‘prosecutorial discretion’ is being used as a smoke screen to cover the real action which is the legalization and mainstreaming of many millions of futue democrat voters who will be dispatched to key critical voter precincts coached on by ‘Community Service Officers’ formerly known as Community Organizers.

Prosecutorial discretion is a decision to not prosecute but the handing out to illegal aliens of temporary biometric ID cards leads to SSNs, Work Permits, State IDs and Driver Licenses, EBT, Obamacare, WIC, Section 8, training grants and registration as voters via Motor-Voter, is a process that is outside the law.
