“We were never going to win in Congress.”
That is the epitaph spoken by Speaker Boehner ally Representative Tom Cole on the collapse of House Leadership’s resolve to legislatively fight Executive Amnesty.
It may also be the final nail in the coffin for the notion of co-equal branches of government, as President Obama has already announced that he is considering using unilateral executive actions to ban ammunition and raise corporate taxes, on top of his massive Internet regulation announced last week.

The Congressional GOPe will never be in a stronger position than they are today. There is no way anyone will want them in 2016.
It’s bad enough that’s it’s amnesty.
But it’s more than that.
It’s a massive usurpation of legislative power by a lawless chief executive.
No Mr. Franklin we couldn’t keep it.
Yup. I know.
He bought a little piece of property...right next to a factory...that got re-zoned from R1 to C1 mysteriously...so the factory owner could buy it and build a new building on it.
Just good fortune! The factory owner was willing to pay TOP DOLLAR! And Johnny was just stumped...why, I didn’t know this was such a good investment! Lucky me!
Almost as good as that after hours Commodity Trading that a housewife lawyer in Arkansas did so well in...
If everyone agrees, even the President by his own words, that the President acted unconstitutionally then why haven’t impeachment proceedings started?
Yeah. It’s a twofer.
Can’t believe I’m watching it.
Now we know: we already live in Mexico. These guys make Mexican bribe takers look like chumps.
Take cash when you drive now. Gonna have to pay the traffic cop directly.
Sobbin’ John has GOT TO GO!!!
The honchos have been well paid for their treason.
I don’t think it has ever been this bad before.
Why not print this questionaire up and circulate copies Have your neighbors encircle their answers and send it to your US Senators and representatives
Dear
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .
Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .
Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting that practice be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) .Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ?
In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .
I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .
Would you continue to support any member of congress who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N)
Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)
Should any American citizen which goes overseas to join a foreign entity fighting against the United States (such as ISIS) Be denied re-entry (Y)(N) and their citizenship revoked? (Y) (N) Should that person be charged with treason (Y)(N)
Very Truly Yours For Restoring the value of American citizenship and Conservative Government

Then along came a guy who offered me 10 times what I paid for a dirt farm zoned Ag. He will turn it into a Walmart : )
The fix was in many years ago.
Incrementally, one step at a time.

And all without firing a single shot.
Isn’t Boehner just punting it back to the Senate?
Agree. I've said much the same thing elsewhere, but your response is more succinct. This decision is destructive to the country in that the changed demographics will assure a permanent Rat lock on the Presidency. Beyond that, it telegraphs an Obama unbound. He can sign any deal he wants with Iran. He can raise taxes, ban ammunition, censor the internet, target conservatives and conservative groups for reprisals, etc. Who is going to stop him? Today's decision means the US has moved to a post democracy status and toward what is happening in Venezuela, for instance.
The 2010 TEA party takeover was NOTHING... you are ALL effing TOAST.
I don’t give a crap about the GOP. I hope they all lose in 2016 since we get liberal crap shoved down our throats no matter what.
This is a guy who has worked for the state or federal government for pretty much his entire career and he's been in the Senate for 30 years. A net worth of $3 million for someone in their 60s making $200K a year is probably about average to high average, a net worth of $30 million for someone in that income bracket is all but unheard of.
The Democrats must be thinking, “Maybe we can keep the WH in 2016 and even re-take the House.”
You don’t have to be a political scientist to see how disappointed the country is in both parties, but particularly the right with its “leadership”; at least the Democrats will fight.
Boehner’s attitude IS: “We were never going to win.” And whatever you think you can or can’t do, you are probably right.
If we don’t have a legislative branch, it’s time for a new Party.
