IMPERIAL PRESIDENT: The Hill: Obama moves to give legal status to 5 million illegal immigrants.
Plus: Obama Would Veto Any Bill Undoing Immigration Executive Action.
And: Sen. Sessions reacts: We must stop Emperor Obama.
Plus, this observation on tone from Moe Lane, which is spot-on: “Barack Obama wants you to be angry. The Democrats NEED you to be angry. So don’t be. Smile, shake your head ruefully, and say no. Nicely.”
Plus, from Mickey Kaus: Don’t Count Out the Court.
With Obama’s executive amnesty imminent, anonymous White House aides are cockily dismissing John Boehner’s threatened lawsuit against it as a stunt. Even among opponents of executive amnesty — and I’m with them — there’s a tendency to pooh pooh the suit. It’s a loser, it will take forever to decide, it’s an attempt to ‘redirect Republican rage’ away from budgetary remedies like denying funding, etc.
Not so fast. I’m all for giving defunding a try — also holding up appointments — but don’t sell the lawsuit short. I’ll even go so far as to lay down an Yglesias style marker: If Obama’s executive action is as broad as described, the Supreme Court will strike it down.
I think he’s right. I agree that this is comparable to the Steel Seizure Case. And I’m also a fan of Richard Neely.
