TBT: Rule of Law

I've decided to start doing Throw Back Thursday, and today's first ever feature is (drum roll, please): Rule of Law!

I'm prompted today to respond to Our Dear Leader's recent comments. But before I get to that, let's back up and set up the situation.

Last November we had an election. Prior to that election our President said on 22 different occasions that making that changing immigration policy himself would be unconstitutional. He's not a king, after all!

After that election, he went ahead and created what is now commonly called his executive amnesty. Predictably, many are now arguing that he's violated the US Constitution. He's even been taken to court, where one federal Judge has ruled that Yes, it is indeed an unconstitutional act. That same judge put a stay on the implementation of this policy (pending further litigation) because once this cat gets out of the bag, you can't put it back in.

In this context, the President is asked about deportation, and the possibility of ICE officials following current law, as opposed to his new policy. His response: "...there's going to be consequences."  See below.

There should be. Not for those brave souls who obey the law, but for the President. He has violated his Oath of Office by creating law, by acting contrary to the will of Congress expressed through current law, and now he is in contempt of court. He should be impeached, but he won't be because our Congress is infested with statists, corporatists, and cowards. There are a few brave souls attempting to stand against it, but too few.

So today I bid farewell to the Rule of Law. Good bye. We will miss you.
