114 Democrats Urge Obama to Use Executive Orders to Circumvent Congress and the Constitution

So much for things like "separation of powers" and "checks & balances".
Oh, that is so like last century, dude.

/sarc

The Dhimmicrats will agree to anything their Fearless Leader tells them he can do, and the Constitution is just a shred of paper to them.

Seems like the only people who don't like background checks are people who won't pass them.

Same reason politicians shouldn't worry about offending illegals. They don't vote. The only people worried about illegals are their employers. Who are they? Republican conservative business owners.
 
114 House Democrats Urge Obama to Sidestep Congress for Gun Control - Breitbart

On November 23 Representative Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) and 113 of his Democrat colleagues submitted a letter urging President Obama to circumvent Congress by using executive action to expand background checks to cover private gun sales.

The letter says:

The Republican leadership in Congress continues to sit on their hands as gun violence becomes America’s new normal,” and asks Obama to simply go away the people’s elected leadership and institute gun control unilaterally…Since Congress won’t step up, the President should. Through executive action he can help keep guns from criminals, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill. Something needs to be done and since Republicans in Congress can’t even bring themselves to hold a vote, this is the best option to make our country safer and save lives

The House Democrats’ push for executive action came on the same day that 24 Senate Democrats urged Obama to go around Congress and implement more gun control via executive action. The Senate action, which was headed by Sens. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT), followed on the heels of Senator Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) calls for action following the August 26 on-air attack against a Virginia reporter and her cameraman.

Dhimmicrats have no moral, legal or principled restraint to their lust for power.
I like background checks
They're also Constitutional.
 
Breitbart? I thought that rw muckraker retired years ago?

Obama had him killed for finding this

Please Obama please. Declare guns illegal unilaterally. Order the American people to turn over their guns. Please do it. Make it your October surprise. Oh...close GITMO too and release the prisoners in American towns.

Do it, Mr President.

Pity treason is not an impeachable offense.

and here I thought it used to be. this government with these elected tyrants from this party is going to steamroll over us. Obama has led the way so they are emboldened now to continue on. and why not when not one in their base ever opposes them on anything to do.

if people don't wake up soon this is where we are heading and fast
 
Breitbart? I thought that rw muckraker retired years ago?

He died
I know. That was my point (two others jumped in w/ that earlier in the thread :thup:) The guy was a rw hatchet man

Firing of Shirley Sherrod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reactions from Breitbart
Initially, Breitbart claimed Sherrod harbored racist sentiments.[43]
Breitbart questioned CNN's accepting Eloise Spooner's self-reported identity in a phone interview.[45] In a July 30 interview with Newsweek, Breitbart said he would be glad to meet with Sherrod privately. He agreed that the excerpted video took her statements out of context and said that if he could do things all over again, he would not have posted the excerpted video,[46] but he did not apologize to Sherrod.

Congress needs a vote to override an executive order. A president doesn't. Just another stroke of the pen. Forcing obumble to act by executive order can easily be undone. If he went through congress, undoing his damage would have to work its way through another congress.
 
Congress is a useless legislative body

I encourage Obama to use executive orders until Congress can legislate otherwise
I encourage President Cruz or Trump to outaw democrats from voting and for democrat votes in Congrss only counting 2/5th.
