Andrew Napolitano has written a brilliant expose about how President Obama has
become an imperial president without Republican resistance. Napolitano reminds us that “The constitution is the supreme law of the land. It established three branches of government and it delegated “all” legislative powers to Congress. The Framers chose the word “all” to precisely confine the writing of laws to Congress and to prevent a president from altering federal law by the selective manner of law enforcement and thereby effectively rewriting it.” Many presidents have put their own spin on federal law. But Obama’s personal interferences pertaining to the enforcement of federal laws is that he can rewrite them and nullify them!!! Furthermore, while he continues to rewrite the laws, he “accumulates such power in the executive branch that it effectively transforms the president into a menacing tyrant who rejects his constitutional obligations and limitations.”
All of the following were done without Congressional approval:
Obama bombed Libya * Obama told 11 million illegal immigrants they would not be deported if they follow his rules * Obama wrote secret rules authorizing the use of drones to kill Americans * Obama authorized the NSA to spy on all Americans * Obama modified the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) 29 times * Obama sanctioned the DHS to photograph license plates of all automobiles
“While all of this is going on Congress largely sits as a potted plant. Congress is sleeping. These are dangerous times because this is a lawless presidency and a pliant Congress. The president’s willingness to violate the Constitution publicly call into question his fitness for office. And that deafening silence from Capital Hill manifests a spineless refusal to preserve constitutional government.”
The following quote from Adolph Hitler should take on a new meaning and wake us up to what is happening to America.
“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible
reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being
removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.”
