What happens if the President simply ignores the law, or refuses to enforce it? President Obama’s announcement that he was unilaterally offering amnesty to youthful illegal immigrants was further confirmation that Obama’s administration is the most lawless in American history.
However, Americans should not really be surprised that Obama took this path. It was, after all, apparently in his political interest to pander to radical sentiment among some Latinos, and it was in Obama’s words “the right thing to do.”
Notice there was no mention of “the constitutional thing to do.”
The Framers of the Constitution recognized that “the right thing to do” was a plastic concept, readily molded to fit political expediency. That’s why they created a system of checks and balances to ensure that no individual or cabal could gain absolute power or control the levers of government power without check.
But what happens if the executive -- in this case Barack Obama -- simply ignores the law, or refuses to enforce it?
As I pointed out in “The Law the Governs Government,” the e-pamphlet I wrote with attorney Mark J. Fitzgibbons, for many years the political establishment has shown contempt for the Constitution and rigged the rules to protect and hide its lawbreaking.
From unilaterally granting amnesty to a select group of illegal aliens, to trampling on the religious freedom and freedom of conscience of American Catholics and other Christians, to using unmanned drones to gather information for federal regulatory and law enforcement agencies, to ignoring Congressional subpoenas, to trying to use the FCC to regulate the internet even after a federal court held it had no authority to do so -- this endemic government lawbreaking has gotten progressively worse under Obama.
The list of Obama administration lawbreaking has gotten so long that back in March, nine Republican Attorneys General announced unprecedented plans to sue the Obama administration, alleging some 18 violations of law and the Constitution by President Obama’s administration, appointees and agencies.
Will Congress act, will the federal courts rein-in the executive, or will the people have the ultimate say at the ballot box?
We are about to see.
As Obama’s foray into ignoring the law and granting amnesty to a select group of illegal aliens illustrates, defeating Obama and reclaiming the Constitution as the law that governs government may be the most important goal for conservatives if we are to govern effectively.
In the meantime, principled conservative Attorneys General -- such as Viginia’s Ken Cuccinelli, Tom Horne of Arizona, Pam Bondi of Florida, Sam Olens of Georgia, Bill Schuette of Michigan, Scott Pruitt of Oklahoma, Marty Jackley of South Dakota, Alan Wilson of South Carolina, and Greg Abbott of Texas -- can add another count to their lawsuit.
Call Texas Governor Rick Perry at (512) 463-2000 and tell him to VETO Texas S.B. 346. If he signs this bill, even if you live in another state, if you support an organization that reports on the action in the Texas legislature on issues such as the right to life, home schooling or traditional marriage, you might suddenly find your name and how much you gave to an organization outside of Texas disclosed in filings to the State of Texas and your name and the amount of your donation published in newspapers across the country.
Sign the petition to tell Republican Senators and Representatives to swiftly enact legislation that reimburses IRS-targeted conservative groups and individual donors. Then call them (U.S. Capitol: 1-866-220-0044) and urge them to take the lead in getting a bill up for consideration!

Obama's lawlessness
First of all, I don't believe there will be an election - not if Obummer thinks he has any chance of losing. Next, I think Texas should secede. Lastly, I think we need an armed revolution and the Constitution provides for that - in fact, it says it is our duty to remove a rogue government. You think I'm radical? Just how radical is this nightmare we're up against? If you are a patriot, you will agree with me - if not, you're part of the problem!
Invoking our Rights
The question is how to get this started in order to avoid initiating a revolution as the initial step instead of the last resort. The saying “United we stand, Divided we fall” should be kept in mind. Something that our government fears the most.
While it is assured all branches of our government will not be intimidated by a few outraged voters, enormous outrage could bring them to their knees. Starting with replacing all residing members of Congress one by one regardless of political affiliation especially those with too much seniority who use their power to corrupt the new ones coming on board-- sending them a message loud and clear – We are your employer not your employee! .
Without check and balances corruption becomes inevitable. Therefore, necessary check and balances need to be reinstated (conveniently removed from the 13th amendment). A Citizens Grand Jury must be established with full power to investigate (with complete cooperation of the F.B.I. and all other similar agencies and be given access to personal data of all individuals being paid by tax revenue) any wrong doing by the Executive and Legislative Branches of our government or other affiliated divisions when the Judicial Branch has insufficient time to do so or fails to take immediate action by intentionall delays during the election process
Never before in the history of our country has anyone caused such malicious destruction of our country's values, collapse of our financial security, increased racial and political dissention and corruption of our judicial process or the promotion of terrorist activity by his total or intentional disregard of border safety and illegal immigration.
The constitution gives us the right to alter or abolish the government if it becomes destructive to the people. If we could only join forces across the country the power would be ours to accomplish this.
Likewise we should heed George Washington's warning: "political parties can become destructive if not properly controlled" and it has reached the point where we should remove the political parties altogether making every politician stand on their own merits and answerable only to the people instead of their political party and private industry who buy their loyalty.
It is amazing that a school student took the "initiative" to confront the issue of transaction fees being imposed by Bank of America by sending it out over the network. The enormous response against BOA made them reconsider. A similar approach with an influx of e-mails, faxes and telephone calls together with a sufficient collection of names on a petition could force Congress and the Judicial Branch to adjust their thinking if they wish to remain in office.
Lawless President
It's called Dictatorship. It's here, it's now, it's what the majority want.
It's what almost invariably follows democracies.
But we're a Republic, you say! No we're not. We haven't been in decades. That's what happened. It was slowly mutated from a republic to a democracy with the acquescence of the courts, the installation of the bureacracies and the guidance of the montarists.
It's a dictratorship. Get busy or get used to it. (It's not going to get better.)

The Most Lawless President in History
Obama is, without a doubt, the most lawless president this country has ever had in office. He is also the most dangerous. If he is not stopped now we may not have the privilege of voting him out of office in November. He has paved the way of becoming this country's first dictator by signing all of the executive orders giving him the right to declare marshal law whenever he wishes. I absolutely believe he is planning to create a situation sometime before the election that will give him an excuse to do so.
Now he has gone around Congress again to give amnesty to illegals. HE MUST BE STOPPED NOW! Congress needs to act immediately.
When Presidents and precedents ignore law
A recent LA Times Editorial (6/3/12) opined that the recent defense authorization [NDAA] passed by Congress and signed by the President has created an "ambiguity" about the indefinite detention of "any person" who supported insurgents "or associated forces". While they pointed out, though Pres. Obama "promised that his administration 'will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens'" that is authorized by the defense authorization he signed into law, they supported Sen. Feinstein for proposing a "Due Process Guarantee Act" for at least citizens or lawful permanent residents of these United States.
Put aside, for the moment, the pros and cons of various de facto immigration "dream" arguments; and, put aside, also for the moment, the free market argument versus the graduated tax and living subsidies we provide citizens not to take jobs that pay less than government benefits; and, even put aside, what state sovereignty has been defaulted to the Federal Government regarding immigration. Then consider that the neither the LAT editorial (referenced above) nor so called conservatives (now diverting attention to "damn feriners") even mention how the more basic and egregious violations to the Constitution such as: killing American citizens by Presidential order for supporting "associated forces"; or, cruel and unusual punishment of prisoners; or, undeclared war; or, even denying habeas corpus and due process itself.
So, as I applauded the LA Times Editorial team for supporting "the Feinstein bill [that] would at least codify Obama's promise that no U.S. citizen will be held without trial" which some less enlightened might consider unalienable or constitutionally guaranteed. Even further, in a bipartisan spirit, I encourage Republicans and the Conservative HQ too to scour the Constitution and our Declaration of Independence for codifying anew so many promising opportunities to remove ambiguities that English common law and the Founding Fathers considered self evident.
If this system had a " like "
If this system had a " like " button I'd be bouncing it like a paddle ball.
Our Lawless President
I agree that cherry picking portions of laws that one likes and ignoring others and ignoring the Constitution are in themselves reasons for the various AGs to sue the government or specifically the President of the United States. He has to go one way or another.

Why waste time sueing him
Why waste time sueing him just arrest the POS for treason and high crimes. He has done both.
