As reported in Breitbart: Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), who as the state’s Attorney General
filed the lawsuit against the president’s executive action predicted the
suit would ultimately succeed because “Barack Obama is our star
witness” on Tuesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
“I think we will win [the 26 state lawsuit to stop Obama's illegal immigration by executive memo ~ editor] all the way for one simple reason, and that is,
the man you just had on the screen, Barack Obama, is our star witness.
22 times Barack Obama said he did not have the authority to implement
this type of measure. And then the day after he signed this into law, he
said, quote, ‘I just changed the law.’
"The exact wording was
“I just took an action to change the law,” per Abbott . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "those words alone show that he violated
the Constitution, and violated federal law” Abbott stated.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . This is [is not prosecutorial discretion] but an abandonment of the law
by the Obama administration, and then re-writing and making it up. That
violates the Constitution.”
I wonder if how Reagan's Immigration Reform bill of '86 would go over today? It granted any immigrant who'd entered the country before 1982 eligible for amnesty - a total of 3 MILLION illegals got amnesty. Later, George H.W. Bush administration used its executive powers to grant 1.5 million amnesty.
ReplyDeleteIf a republican does it, it must be ok. If Obama does it, it's illegal.
Another blatant lie. Obama acted alone and around Congressional approval. The very opposite was true with Reagan. Reagan never circumvented Congress in matters of legislative solution. Ditto for H Bush. Obama is America's only Imperial President. Even FDR functioned with the permission of Congress.
