One of President Barack Obama’s highly controversial executive orders is officially heading to the Supreme Court to face judgement. The highest court in the land stepped into a boiling political dispute over immigration Tuesday, setting the stage for a likely decision in June – right in the middle of the 2016 presidential campaign.
And should the Supreme Court’s judgement follow the lower courts’ lead, many of Obama’s other executive orders could be in serious trouble.
The justices agreed to review whether President Obama, acting without congressional approval, has the power to shield up to 5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally from deportation and make them eligible to work without fear of being rounded up.
The justices also said they would consider whether Obama exceeded his authority under federal laws and the Constitution.
Some legal observers saw in the court’s decision to look at Obama’s power under the Constitution a potentially ominous sign for the administration’s use of power.
“It suggests that the court is willing to engage President Obama’s entire use of executive orders,” said Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the nonpartisan National Constitution Center. Obama frequent use of these executive orders has long been criticized as illegal overreach by his Republican rivals.
Underscoring the political dimension, the case will be argued in April and decided by late June, about a month before both political parties gather for their nominating conventions.
When he announced the measures 14 months ago, Obama said he was acting under his own authority, circumventing Congress because the legislative branch had failed to overhaul the immigration system the way he wanted.
Texas quickly led a legal challenge to Obama’s program on behalf of 26 states and has won every round in court so far. Most recently, in November, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the states, prompting the appeal to the Supreme Court.
Texas actually asked the Supreme Court not to hear the case challenging those rulings, but state Attorney General Ken Paxton said he was pleased the justices will examine the president’s constitutional power to intercede without congressional approval. “In deciding to hear this case, the Supreme Court recognizes the importance of the separation of powers,” Paxton said.
The administration said Texas and the other states don’t even have the right to challenge the plan in federal court.
However, the lower courts decided that Texas does have the right, or standing, to sue because at least 500,000 people living in Texas would qualify for work permits and thus become eligible for driver’s licenses, the costs of which are subsidized by the state. “Texas would incur millions of dollars in costs,” the state said in its brief.

Where was the Republican Congress when these unconstitutional executive orders were being implemented?
was there/is there anything they could have done?
Yes congress could have declared he wrote a law and did not write an administrate executive order but a legal law order which he can not write therefore this executive order is null and void. That would have gone to the Supreme court faster and most of this might not have been put in place for all this ANGER to take place with WE THE PEOPLE.
YOU ARE SO, SO, RIGHT WITH EVERY WORD YOU WRITE!!!!!!!
Hi girl,take a glass of ice tea out on the porch and cool .Your totally correct in you’re assessment of this Admn but i would advise you clean up the language a bit .:< (
I agree. Obama needs to be impeached . That is something he can not veto. I call all my senators and reps to try and get something started on impeachment. If enough people called them, possibly something would start. Calling a bumb democrat is about worthless.
Anita,
What you said is very true. However, why didn’t anyone argue with him on his stupid executive orders in the first place? People merely stood back & let him do whatever he pleased. Now they are unhappy & yet they let him get away with it to begin with. He is merely like a small child, once he has gotten away with one thing & he figures that he has everyone in the dark, & he will do something again & again until he gets stopped. I was against him & all that he did in the very beginning & yet he was our going to save our world, & I knew all along that he could do anything but that!! Now we have to pay for what he has done. Mainly b/c the people didn’t have enough sense to stop him once he got started on some of his stupid tirades that has cost this country more money & it will take us a long time to get us back to where we were before he entered the picture!! That man will walk away from Washington, D.C. laughing b/c the people were so stupid that they believed what he told them. In addition, he came in with very little money in his pockets & he will walk away with millions. What fools this country has been!! I should add, it’s not a matter that he was a Democrat that I feel like I do. I had done my homework right when I heard that he intended on running for president & through all that I researched on that man, I simply could not see him doing all that he promised alone & believe you me, it hasn’t been solely this man that has made the many problems for this country. We will be lucky to get rid of him b/c I honestly feel that he has some other options in mind & we best watch him very carefully. He is not to be trusted. (i don’t care if it’s the law that he cannot stay on in office-look at all the stunts that he pulled so far & then tell me that he isn’t able to stay any longer in office.)
AMEN
What we think, they should have done, is irrelivant. The fact is; the democrats still have enough votes, to prevent the congress from vetoing obuma’s exec. orders.
that is the whole point of his executive orders; Republican congress [they have no way of prohibiting his action until it is taken; then it must go through the courts; THAT WHY HE IS USING THE ORDERS TO “BY PASS CONGRESS” surely you know this?
Congress had no say in the matter. That is the point! The administration by-passed Congress and did this by executive fiat. The question beofre the courts is whether this violated the Constitutionally established separation of power which grants legislative power to Congress. That power is not limited to taking action to pass a particular piece of legislation but also to NOT taking action to even introduce lert alone pass any proposed legislation. Question is can the executive in effect ignore that Congressional action by inaction by an executive order and thus in essence enact that which Congress refused to enact.
Balance of powers. Congress controls the purse strings of government. They can even impeach. Boehner and now Ryan did nothing.
The problem here is weather anyone believes it or not our government has become so corrupt that they constantly sell out to the highest bidder or whoever can help them the most, And believe me it isn’t us.
Nope.
The reason the Republican party hasn’t acted on this is because they talk a big game but never score. The reason? They are no different than the Dems.. All want power, thus the reason that the establishment is trying to throw Trump under the bus. They see that he’s not part of the establishment and will surely change the direction this country is headed in a meaningful way.
If you listen to the Democratic party debate you can clearly see they don’t demoralize each other, case in point…Sanders and O’maley ( spelling ) are disgusted at the accusations towards Hillary regarding Bill’s affairs. Does this sound like they are truly fighting for the candidacy? At every turn Dems. circle around their members…too many to list, but the Republicans at the first rumor throw their own under the bus. Then they wonder why the public is mad as hell…GO Trump!!!
You are a dreamer.
Slip of the finger posted last comment before I was ready. You are dreaming, Sanders and O’malley are going after Hillary as of the last debate, as they and all Democrats should. I believe they are through circling the wagons around her. And as far as Obama is concerned, I think he keeps looking for an excuse to call martial law and become the king. And I agree – GO TRUMP.
You two are right about Obama looking for ways to be king, dictator, tyrant or all of the above. My husband has said for months that he is trying to set it up before he has to leave office. The man is and always has been a Muslim sympathetic with the radicals and why he waited so long to give Iran what they want and even subsidize their jihad on us. He and Michelle have made it clear from the beginning that they hate America and its values and leadership in the world and they want to take us down. Why Congress kowtows to this man is above and beyond all that is American. God bless both of you for your outspoken patriotism. My first choice for President has been Cruz, but with Palin joining Trump, I am going to have to throw him my support too. If he doesn’t make her VP, I’m not going to be too happy, but I think surely he will.
They should both be in jail. We shouldn’t even be talking about those traitors.
I agree with you pjt. I believe Obama is just waiting for the time he can call “martial law’ and get by with it. He may be waiting until the Supreme Court makes their decision on his “executive orders” to see where he stands. That could mean if he declares “martial law” we will not have an election………not sure what would happen after that. IF he gets the 10’s of thousands of refugees into this country like he wants to do……….they may be a reason for him to declare “martial law”………..especially if they react to our country like they have in Germany and other European countries……….I think there will be some American men who will take matters into their hands and will not take this setting down. Anyway we have to have Trump as our next president. He can straighten out our country. Vote Trump………..2016.
In my opinion, the House should’ve started drafting Articles of Impeachment against this globalist puppet when he first made it obvious that his agenda was to destroy this country and promote agendas which move us closer to a “North American Union!” Unfortunately, many in Congress (on BOTH sides of the aisle) are owned by the NWO types, This SBPOS needs to be impeached; then, indired and tried for TREASON! Folks need to quit thinking “Democrat/Republican” and start thinking “Globalists/Patriots;” since, BOTH “parties” have been infiltrated.
Tullio,
Surely you realize that Trump is anti American, a lying two faced hypocrite just lioke Rubio. Trump does not care about America, he i9s using little sheep like you to get what he wants, and that is countless dollars as a corrupt president, as his sidekick Obama has done. There is Only one REAL candidate out there that Truly loves America, its laws, it’s constitution, etc.
The one, the only, TED CRUZ. Why he is a target for all the low lives, Trump included.
Your full of obumhole Pancho
You go Roseanna.:^)
Man your really sick. Get some help.
What makes you think he wants dollars if he has plenty?
Trump is paying his own way, using his own money. Cruz is borrowing money from several places and tried to keep hidden where he borrowed it from. He didn’t want the public to know he and his wife were puppets of Goldman Sachs and Citi Bank. He has tried to hide quite a few things and before long they’ll be calling him Hillary Cruz. People should have come to their senses by now and realized that he is not what he claims to be..
BERNIE
Hey, if you don’t love america, then get out of our country because your red flag shows us you must be a muslim and already think america belongs to you. Well, get a grip, you have not seen anything yet from us americans who love america. Trump and we the people are on our way to clean her up.
You are in for a rude awakening! Cruz will NEVER be prez of anything except the NATIONAL FRAUD Association. Not ineligible to hold US office. And now that he was picked (like most losers in Iowa have been) The Dems will focus on his Canadian citizenship and NOT a “NATURAL BORN” thus derailing his campaign! I for one am not a DEM, yet I like the fact that he will be outed as the FRAUD HE IS!
Well said
They were campaigning….picking up more monet to get reelected and keep up
the lies they have been telling us, since Obama took power!!! Republicans are,
today by any measures, as useless as TEATS in a boar hog!!!!
In Texas that is Teats ON a boar hog. I agree with you all the way, we need to impeach that President, using the term loosely). Maybe the Supreme Court will rule against his executive order if we don’t have the liberals Justices ignoring the law again.
Amil
It was a Democratic congress until the end of last year. And yes, where were they? Well, Obama didn’t care where they were anyway.
I often wonder if Basrack even knows his life is going to be shortened by his criminal action, and the lies. people are fed up with the obama’s and this whole regime. and they are all skating on thin ice. YOU STOP YOUR THREATS OR THE WILL TURN ON YOU. Check and see the TRITH how we have been BETRAYED by our Own Government. YOU have a real shock and Disappointment thinking that some of our Government we didn’t even put in office ,Including our PRESIDENTS. TRUTH that there trying to remove, when you read it you will know why. http://rense.com/general58/suspre.htm
Many of you seem to trend towards the Democrat or the Republican party. And YES, are right about both parties wanting to get themselves re-elected. I tried the Democrat party when I turned 21 in the service. Then a few years later I tried the Republican party. I soon realized their strategy was the same. Put a ring in the voters nose and make them believe their party is the best and always be loyal to your party affiliation. Then I got smart in 1979 and became a register Independent voter. A few years after that our state said we could not vote in primaries unless we registered to one of the 2 major parties. That illegal fiasco still exists in the state of AZ. Even though we out register the Democrat and Republican parties. Nationwide there are 40 percent of all voters registered as Independent. We are the silent majority who are getting very well organized. this next election lets see how many of the lifetime congressmen get re-elected? My point is that if you are not registered to vote, get registered and make sure you vote. To many in this great land have become complacent and complain about everything that is wrong but refuse to vote. When I was young voting was my way to to show I cared about the wrongs and my vote counted. I have voted every year since I was 21 and that is 61 years w/o missing casting my vote. If all of the young people would vote we could get rid of all the long time deadbeats pretending to run our country. When you don’t vote for whatever reason then you have no right to complain. Vote and change the status quot.
The best of health and wealth to everyone.
That’s just what I asked myself…
The Republican Congress and Democrats did not do anything because Obama
and the NSA has too much dirt on them.
This is why, after your Representatives serve two
terms, they need to go home and not get reelected again.
Agree 1,000 % congress needs to be on term limits! This will stop the lobbyist from paying to get what they want.
My feeling exactly, they should be the same as the president. Change needs to come so register to vote and then vote.
Sucking up for a window seat on the last plane out.
WHERE WAS CONCRES AT, WHEN ALL THE MEN, WOMEN IN UNIFORM THAT LOST THERE LIFE, AND CAME BACK HOME WITH NO LEGS OR ARMS OR BOTH!! NO JOBS (BECAUSE OF SOME ILLEGEAL) WORKING FOR BELOW
STANDARD WAGES PAYING NOTAXES,AND GETTING EVERY THING FOR FREE ( LIKE HOUSEING, FOODSTAMP
WIC, Some ORDER HELP.
WE (USA) HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY FIGHTING THE WARS ( EQIP.BOMBS,GUNS, SHELLS AND MEN AND WOMEN ) AND WHAT DID IT GET US. NOTHING!!!!
I say take care of your own house and worry about the other (nations) some other time when our house is in order. WE have work to do here. We have no business forcing our values and way of life on other nations and their people. This happened in Vietnam and what did it get us after so much waste that went nowhere.
Your right it got us nothing n their plans are to put us in a coffin liner not even a coffin!
I think Obama waited till they were gone for holiday breaks or just plain did an executive order to please himself and to act like he was KING and nothing anyone could do to stop him! Remember, he is Muslim and they do NOT obey laws other than the Koran! He hates America and plans on destroying us.
maybe THEY WILL IMPEACH HIM FOR TRESON
AMEN! Where we’re they? Republicans, especially Democrats have failed America! Failed Political Hack should be stamped in indelible ink on their foreheads! I’m sick of them all!
The Republicans were: Being shut down by Dirty Harry Reid – The little scumbag
He ignores the congress and does what he wants to with executive orders
Kissing Obama’s ass
Its about time.. the court should do more than just looking at this exc.Order period. And also looks into his birthrecord and his religion as he is a Muslim and has lied about it forever. Thank you
It is about time they did there job.
Kind of late, I’d say…Our government stinks as do the people who sit on their hinds and do nothing but blog..Look what our inactions have gotten us. I hope America wakes up and votes in November.
Martha….I Agree 100%….For me , the birth record is STILL an issues , as are his sealed school records…..How foolish a nation full of “smart” Obama believers will feel when it is finally determined that this man was NOT qualified from the beginning and they were fleeced… Name ONE other President that would not have been impeached , had they done some of what this man has done…. Name ONE other President that could have “sealed” public records pertaining directly to them , either proving or disproving their eligibility requirements for the position of President , that the American Citizens would basically ignore as if it was not an important matter. The way I see it , HE should be proud to lay his College Degrees out on the table for everyone to see. He should be proud to throw it in the faces of all the skeptics and prove they were wrong. The major concern is, after he leaves office , and moves out of this country, (for safety reasons , I would think) , how long , IF ever , will it take to undo the harm this man and his henchmen have done to our country.
Why was he chosen when there was good black men like Herman Cain that would have made a good president? Oh! he was republican so they ran him out of the race over family issues. who cares let his family take care of those things. I have issues with hiding things that really matter.
Totally agree!! It was like he was exempt from this background check!
No the truth was always there , but people wanted to believe in this stranger from left field that people with big money had picked to do their bidding , For decades those same people had been gathering all the dirt they could find on anyone that could oppose their plans of their new world order. They had the money to make a kid who was born in Africa get all the documents necessary to place doubt in peoples minds that he was born here, Obama promised everything people wanted including a transparent administration ! What he delivered was the most secretive corrupt bunch of robots who feared ther personal disgrace more then the down fall of our country ! Fact is Obama has two social Security numbers , both are from dead men and neither was issued in any state where he said he lived ! He was run through E-Verify by several Attorneys and he cannot pass , in fact he can’t qualify to work anywhere in this country ! Our forefathers set things up so all citizens could have a voice , but over the years through acts of greedy people and amendments to our Constitution we have overpopulated our prisons and restricted our personal liberties to the point where an unknown can sneak into our White House and plunge us into a debt so deep we may never get out from under it , He lied about everything , killed some of this country’s hero’s in Benghazi , Extortion 17, drone strikes on American Citizens on his say so ! in spite of all of this , he stole our White House a second time in spite of obvious voter fraud , illegals voting under various names , the impossible of him supposedly getting 125% of the votes in the precincts where they did not check ID’s thanks to his right hand man and co-conspirator in their gun running operation in Mexico called Fast and Furious which took some civilian lives as well as several Border Patrol which , like Barney Fife could only have several bullets with them on patrol ! And he had the audacity to kill Chris Stevens our Ambassador who was either caught or backing out of the Illegal Arms agreement with the Muslims there ! It is time to get Obama Impeached and him Holder, Clinton, George Siros , and others to be announced arrested on charges of High Treason !
AMEN
If his mouth is open. He’s lying
Actually he was..it was all planned I KNOW before 2005! My son a soldier was in Army and guarding Terrorist over seas. here is what he told me (he wrote these words himself) and I have omitted his name because of safety reasons as he is still in Army. I REMEMBER him telling me this:
I was told directly by one of the Doctors of UBL (Yes… I was one of his prison guards from 2005 to 2006 “over there”… surprise…) and I will never forget him putting down his magazine and looking over his glasses with those cold steel gray eyes and telling me “one day … one day soon a Muslim will take your country from its highest seat (he spoke fluent english… as well as like 5 other languages) I asked “you really believe we will have a Muslim as president who will be able to take down America from within… you’re crazy”… I laughed and walked away and heard him say “you will see… very soon”… I looked back and he was still holding his index finger up as if he was giving a teaching lesson. I laughed it off but never forgot it. that was somewhere around June, 2005…
This court is a disgrace… They say yes to everything Obama does that is illegal!
Its about time to stop obama with all his breaking the law
He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and his agenda and to hell with the people of this country!
You know what the abavtion for Govtment is (GOVT) it stand for a Group Of Volsir on the Take!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone who gets it
If Obama loses at the Supreme Court this will open the door to challenge many of his other executive orders. If he wins, we will be greeted by a flurry of executive orders in the waning months of his administration.
Looking beyond Obama, the Supreme Court’s decision will affect the power future presidents can wield without congressional approval. In our country the political pendulum swings. Those who are happy with this president’s executive orders may hate the orders issued by the next administration, especially if it goes as far to the right as Obama went to the left. It will be interesting to see whether their decision will deal strictly with this one order or if it will give a clue on how they may rule on future executive actions.
If the Supreme Court rules against Obama immigration pen, then Ted Cruz is in trouble. He was born in Canada to a Cuban father. Therefore he is Canadian-Cuban citizen. I am told Cruz told Texans that he was from Delaware – and dumb Texans bought his soft spoken Canadian accent. Well now Cruz will be declared a migrant worker who stayed his visa if the Supreme Court strikes Obama’s pen.
It’s just the mother that counts.
The Supreme Court needs to be elected by the people – not the President!
Would it help for the S.C. to be able to note that a Republican Congress has passed a comprehensive law dealing with this issue that is awaiting a Presidential signing that eliminates the chance to argue that his Exec Order is required for lack of an alternative? Or do we already have the right alternative in place? He just needs to enforce it? But, we may need to recognize that all have ignored the problem too long; and we have to provide a pathway that accepts our neglect as contributing to the problem in a constructive way that does not do excessive violence to those waiting for quota selection?
i would still want to know why he is still president? he released 36004 felons from prison.
did he not take a oath to protect the citizens both foreign and domestic? JUST ASKING!
I would like to know that myself! He should have been impeached a long long time ago! Any other President would have been!
@Earnest: Do you not remember when he was sworn in in 2009 that he did not repeat the phrase correctly and was told he had to redo swareing in said he would do it later. I never did see a new swareing in did you?
Inspires more democratic votes to those families connected to the x-felon, just as the same applies to connections to the families directly of all illegal immigrants presently under the Obama protection plan. Just bring them all in one way or another and vote for us appears very close on the horizon. Gotta get votes one way or another.
He just let very bad ones out of gitmo again
I don’t know if it is to late for the Supreme Court to “smack down on Obama’s illegals.” Sadly the past 7+ years have been a SHAM on the citizens of America. It appears like no one in Congress – Dems, Repubs or Independents wanted to reach out of their cozy little hiding places and oppose the Obama administration. Those are the same folks elected by this country and they have not reacted to the call for help from the citizens of America. Shame on them. When the time comes to vote them in or out, just remember how they have represented you in the past. Send them home!
I agree, most of these pinheads hide in there own little world. Unfortunately they will still recieve there lucrative pensions. That’s another issue that should be dealt with. WE THE PEOPLE.
Oh but then they would be called racists so I think that is why they did not want to do anything about it.
No retirement packages for congress – they get Social security like everyone else.
and my argument is HOW can they vote for their own pay raises? What exactly have they done? I hear a lot of talk and arguing but what good has all that done? EVEN Trey Gowdy..he asks some really GREAT questions..but..where is all this going with the investigation on Hillary? The CIA now says they will not do anything? Who paid them off now? Corruption and more Corruption! I say OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! LOL j/k but still..ISIS would do that to us in a heart beat!
If the Supreme Court does their job correctly it will be shot down.
A BIG IF!!
Because Obama is black no one will challenge him on anything he does. Besides his entire appointed cabinet are in coordinated efforts to protect everything the President does or does not do. His executive orders that allows uncontrolled immigration, that will allow potentially dangerous terrorist entering the country, adding and abiding Iran and other moves in the Mideast to assist Iran. All of which is a potential danger to the US but also puts the entire Mideast in jeopardy.
Numerous acts that Obama has made and talked about is proof to anyone of reasoning ability to understand that Obama being a Shia Muslim is doing everything he can to assist Iran who is also Shia.
It is highly unlikely that the US will be able to get Saudi Aribia to assist in eliminating ISIS in the Mideast. First is the fact that ISIS is Sunni from all over the world and Saudi Aribia is Sunni. Secondly, If Saudi Aribia and other Sunni nations do assist in expelling ISIS from the Mideast it is a huge success for Iran who is Shia, Iran is a bitter enemy of Saudi Aribia. With the elimination of ISIS in the Mideast, Iran will then be in control of Iraq, Libya, Syria and possibly Afghanistan. This would be what Iran has worked towards for hundreds of years. Currently Iran is the worlds largest support of terrorist activity. And our President supports Iran.
Currently only Iran and Assad in Syria are Shia with 56 Islamic national countries being Sunni. The world is in big trouble with Obama holding office for another 12 months and will no doubt become the head of the UN after leaving office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SEND ALL OF THEM HOME AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.LETS VOTE ALL OF THEM OUT OF OFFICE AND PUT SOME NEW FACES IN THE WHITE HOUSE.THEY HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE SO LONG THEY THINK THEY CAN’T BE REPLACED.LETS BOOT THEIR A== OUT.
What you say sounds good but it is hard to do. Look at how many people are still supporting Hillary even though she is second biggest lier and broke all those government laws regarding secret emails and the bengazi plot. It is absolutely amazing that she is not in jail. Nixon was impeached for the little Watergate thing which is nothing compared to what she has done, but she is still on the ticket. If you or I had done all the things she has done, Loretta lynch would have put us in jail already
I only wish it was that easy.
Yes by the lawless one’s actions what would stop the next Potus from issuing EO’S that say : Every household must have a firearm or the only language permitted in the US is English. This is a slippery slope that SCOTUS must put and end to.
I truly think that congress has been out picking their nose and thinking about their self serving interests. Congress is not the good guys here either. They are wore worried about their own re-elections and padding their own pockets, than doing what is right. What a shame….. our country has become.
Edit the extra word- They are worried about…..
I agree with Robert. The time of Christ’s return is getting closer and closer. and I’m looking forward to it. The events happening now, points to the return of Jesus Christ being close at hand.
Obama hates the US and so does his wife, he is trying to destroy us here And our way of life. It is so obvious. But then we have a lot of left leaning Sup Court Judges I prey they do the right thing and vote to get rid of all illegals. They need to go back to there own countries. This will forever change our country. Trump 2016
I agree! If the illegals don’t like it here and don’t try to become legal and tries to change our laws then they should go back to where they came from! Why would they come to a country who does not believe the way they do anyway?!? You can bet they would not allow us to come to their country and try to change THEIR laws! We would be arrested or killed!
Oh and TRUMP 2016!!!!!! All the way!!!! He won’t put up with this crap!!
He really owes nothing to the lobbyist. Maybe, just maybe, he can set it straight by saying get the fu– out of my office.
Kathy Walker, Excellent post. Obama’s wife is even more hateful than he is.
.
Any other President would have been dealt with if they were supporting the Muslims and terrorists and we all know WHY nothing has been done!
It’s just the mother that counts
I doubt that a majority of the US citizens have any doubt that 1) questions still linger about OB’s citizenship qualifications, intelligence and integrity! Nor do I believe that the majority understand that the country is in the worse shape ever! The current ruller does not have the commonsense, intelligence and integrity to do any better. After all he was voted in on his color not his intelligence and accomplishments and we are to blame!. 2nd point, career government workers, not good for the country, states and communities. Strongly recommend all politicians (local, county, state and local) decline to run after 2 terms or voted out! If they were as smart as they believe why enormous problems? House clean all bureacrats, as they are the problem as well. Look at how the Tax Dept. did nothing about Lerner when her antics surfaced!! Lastly, corruption is a way of life in political environments (Fed & State & local), baring none) and needs to change! And let the last two presidential terms be a lesson about the consequences of voting with ones feet and not their head. And our children will be the victims more than we realize at this time. Al
Obama thinks he can do whatever he wants, but there is always the Supreme Court that can over rule his decisions.
IF they do! I have noticed that they have NOT gone by our Constitution but of opinions of the World! We need to watch this very carefully! We are at a very scary time for our country!
Suggest America be called to earnest fervent prayer and repentance while there is still time. God will not wink at this.
Well, someone else is getting the idea. Kathy R almost got it but it’s not a North American union that “they” are after. It’s a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. The Soros gang and others have been trying to get this done since the 1920’s. That’s how the League of Nations got started. After that fell apart the United Nations was formed. You can see how that’s turning out. Both side of congress have followers so watch out!!!
There is NO SAFE place on Earth. We are now tasting a little bit of what dictature could be about. The glove is off and no surprise it is the left hand. Too many “American Socialists” wish that American people should have a taste of the gulags (USSR) or centers of political reeducation (China)! Keep your weapons; U may need them. Both countries communists got rid of > 100 Million souls. For the Socialists this is MEANINGLESS!
In Idaho our Senators and Representatives voted against them. You as a citizen have the right to ask yours directly and point blankly being as blunt as possible.
This comment is directed to the Horn website.According to your rules on posting, l am of the opinion that the majority of the comments in your Jan 20th postings should be removed as they are filled with personal attacks,profanity & hate speech. No wonder the two government parties cannot agree on anything. Time to smoke the peace pipe. Have a good day
The sooner Obama is gone, the better for our country!!!
After having read the entire thread I, too, am extremely disillusioned. The condition falls in line with many of the points made by others. But it’s pretty disgusting, how so many of you self-proclaimed experts can’t write a post and publish same without correcting the bad spelling before you hit the “Post Comment” option. Such poor presentation exhibits a weak premise.
he isn’t supposed to be voting when dead!
Immigration law being ignored By THE WASHINGTON TIMES – Wednesday, December 2, 2015
The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States.
That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.”
This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic.
All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government.
Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion.
Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited.
The Quran contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are called ‘hypocrites’ and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not join the slaughter.
Unlike nearly all of the Old Testament verses of violence, the verses of violence in the Quran are mostly open-ended, meaning that they are not restrained by the historical context of the surrounding text (although many Muslims choose to think of them that way). They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subject to interpretation as anything else in the Quran.
The context of violent passages is more ambiguous than might be expected of a perfect book from a loving God. Most contemporary Muslims exercise a personal choice to interpret their holy book’s call to arms according to their own moral preconceptions about justifiable violence. Their apologists cater to these preferences with tenuous arguments that gloss over historical fact and generally do not stand up to scrutiny. Still, it is important to note that the problem is not bad people, but bad ideology.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed. Muhammad’s own martial legacy, along with the remarkable stress on violence found in the Quran, have produced a trail of blood and tears across world history.
The only problem I see with Donal Trump is he is a authoritarian and that’s old school. In today’s world you must be a perswavsive leader. You can’t tell the world this is the way it will be. You must say what do you think about doing it this way. Trump is not going too be on a reality show when he is President. He must understand he’s not God. I’m also afraid the way he will react in a world crises. Not by backing down but by bening to aggressive . We don’t need a fruit cake running the Country but again we don’t need another spineless bam bam. Yes I am a Conservited. Dr. JTR
Executive orders seem to be really unconstitutional..they smack of dictatorship(which they are!)…Why do we have a Congress and Balance of Powers if the Executive Branch can run circles around the elected Congress and get away with it? Hope the Supreme Court rules on this banning Executive Orders….Am I wrong? Are E.O.’s Constitutional? Don’t think so…
Could not of said it better,not sure how so many are blind to what’s going on.
