Obama to Congress: It’s My Way or My Way


Jonah Goldberg : Congress’ placating the president on immigration would establish a precedent for lawless executive action.
... "Like a cannibal in a coma ward, I have no idea where to begin. It is always remarkable to me — which is why I am remarking upon it — how the only way this president can be rescued from a bad news cycle is if an even worse one comes along. This is a source of frustration for many on the right who get outraged by the fact that “we” don’t talk enough about Fast & Furious or Benghazi or the IRS scandal or the VA scandal or Ukraine/Syria/Islamic State/China/Libya/Gitmo . . . . etc. The reason some of these topics get pushed to the backburner, even on the right, is that another controversy or scandal suddenly eclipses the previous one." ...  Full article

He brazenly circumvented Congress and traduced the Constitution (violating along the way his oath to “faithfully execute” the laws).

"What will the Republican establishment do about this upsurge of tyranny? On the evidence so far, not much. They will whine. They will bluster.  They will file toothless lawsuits that are guaranteed to go nowhere and achieve nothing." ...
