114 House Democrats Urge Obama to Sidestep Congress for Gun Control

[FJRMarty]

Lemme tell you, that political moron in DC has set a precedent that has the political Republicans just drooling, chomping at the bit, waiting to take their turn changing the Executive Branch into the "Upper" Legislative Branch that ignores and supercedes the slovenly irresponsible "Lower" Legislative Branch..... It's all agenda politics once you get past election day.

If I were a Republican leader I would just tell them shut up and sit down we're now going to vote on making abortion illegal and we don't need the President to sign it into law. That would make them stop talking about guns from here to eternity.

There is one important thing that those dipshits haven't figured out.. ....how to enforce such an executive order.

Only law can prescribe a penalty, and police owe no duty to enforce edicts.

When a president can pick and choose which laws to follow and which to ignore he is no longer a president.

He's already said he wants to bypass Congress. That was what the "pen and phone" statements were all about.

[claudel]

So, now we have "Republicans" and "Banana Republicans" running the country?

When did the POTUS turn into the HNIC?

They all need to be put to work fixing roads...

This is just the start of a very rocky last year for Obama! I think he will absolutely
try to cause a massive response from people who support the 2nd
amendment before he is out of office.

A EO is a memo from the president to federal depts. on how to run the dept, what Obama has done is to tell federal depts. to create regulations that are de facto law. Which is a clear misuse of the EO's and possibly a violation of the Constitution.

The ATF has a penalty, they just need to change the scope. And federal funding to police departments. Not to mention federal investigation of police departments. All illegal, but all within this monster's reach. Cops will do what they are told.

Not a chance. Somebody might call them racist. Only Dems are allowed to take action.
