President Obama is not enforcing federal law. The Administration has drastically reduced border
security and enforcement of immigration law. He is going to wait until after
the mid-term elections to grant executive amnesty to millions of illegal
aliens; an action he has no constitutional authority to take. He is waiting
until after the election, because he knows this is opposed by the American
public and the Democrat Party will suffer electoral loses if he does it prior
to the
elections. Obama is effectively granting citizenship to millions of illegals in
exchange for their votes in future elections.
The president has
established a pattern of behavior that threatens the very foundation of our
entire system of constitutional government. He has used the institutions of
government to attack his political enemies. He picks and chooses which laws he
will enforce, depending on their political consequences. This is the soft
tyranny that precedes the fall of constitutional rule and representative
government.
Congress creates the laws
of our land. The President is the chief executive officer of the government and
is tasked with the execution and enforcement of those laws. The judiciary rules
on the constitutionality of the laws. Pretty simple and straight forward. That
is the system that the founding fathers created to ensure that powers of
government are distributed among the three branches. This distribution of
powers, along with other features of our constitution, is supposed to prevent
any one individual or group from amassing too much power. The founding fathers
did this knowing the corrupting influence of power. They new that tyranny was
always a threat and that only if the people and the government stayed true the
Constitution could it be kept at bay.
Well, here we are after 125
years of progressive attacks on the Constitution. The courts have been packed
with progressive judges. The clear limitations that the Constitution placed on
the power of government have been eroded almost to the point where the
Constitution means nothing. Progressive jurists have reinterpreted the
Constitution to create justifications for laws and actions that directly
contravene its original intent. We have a president who openly and willfully
violates federal laws that will hurt his political aspirations. He does not
carry out the duties of his office as demanded by the Constitution. And what of
the Congress? The Democrat-controlled Senate is complicit in the lawlessness
and the House of Representatives is so consumed with fear and self-interest it
refuses to act against any of these constitutional violations.
So I have a simple
question. If those in government are unwilling to abide by laws and the
Constitution, why should we?
