Obama Declares War On Law Enforcement

Posted by Brian
Yesterday it appeared that the State of Arizona was victorious in its Supreme Court case with the federal government over its immigration law, SB-1070.  Though the High Court struck down several portions of the law (parts that were already coverered by federal statute), its key provision of checking the immigration status of people suspected of being in the country illegally during the course of routine law enforcement duties, was upheld.
Not so quick, said the Obama Administration.  Arizona law enforcement may be able to check a persons' status, but even if you discover that a person is in the country illegally, we are not going to help you in any way.  We won't verify their status.  We won't take custody of them. You are on your own.  In fact, we are going to go one step further.  We are providing a hotline and an e-mail address for anyone that feels that they were treated unfairly, or have been made to feel uncomfortable, by law enforcement.  We will have free legal counsel available for them to sue the State of Arizona and the officer(s) who made them feel bad.
The Obama Administration has made it perfectly clear that they don't give a damn about state's rights, separation of powers, Congress, the Supreme Court, or the U.S. Constitution.  Barack Obama and his administration have, in short order, become a dictatorship.  Below are just a few of the illegal autonomous actions taken, or attempted by Obama and his Administration:

  • Obama FCC seeking regulation of the Internet (Net Neutrality), ignoring a Federal Court of Appeals ruling that the FCC does not have the power to regulate the internet.
  • Obama NLRB illegally blocked Boeing from building a plant in South Carolina, effectively telling companies where they can and cannot locate manufacturing.
  • Obama EPA mandating billions of dollars in air, water regulations, including regulations that would cause 15-20 percent increases in electricity rates.
  • Obama made three "recess" appointments to the NLRB while Congress was in session, bypassing mandated Senate confirmation requirements.
  • NLRB threatened SC for voter-approved referendum which guarantees secret ballot union elections.
  • The Justice Department suing states to prohibit voter ID laws passed by several states.
  • DOJ suing several states, including Arizona, over laws to control illegal immigration.
There are currently nine State Attorney's General bringing suit against the Obama administration over these, and other illegal Federal Government mandates which trample state's rights.

Obama is at war with not only Arizona.  He is at war the the People of These United States.  His statement during the 2008 Presidential campaign, that he was going to "fundamentally transform" the country, was no idle threat.  He is doing it.  What he has already done will, at a minimum, take decades
to undo.

Justice Dept. sets up hotline for civil rights concerns on immigration verification in Arizona

By Associated Press, Published: June 25  WASHINGTON — The Justice Department has set up a hotline for the public to report potential civil rights concerns regarding the Arizona law that requires police to check the immigration status of those they stop for other reasons.

Obama: Another Unconstitutional Power Grab

Posted by Brian
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the President has Legislative Powers, but rather can "recommend" to Congress for "Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient".
This President is acting outside of the U.S. Constitution and should be brought up for Impeachment for willfully violating his oath of office.

Article I - The Legislative Branch Note


Section 1 - The Legislature
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.


Obama: ‘When Congress Refuses to Act, Joe and I Are Going to Act’
By Fred Lucas February 21, 2012

(CNSNews.com) – In keeping with his “We Can’t Wait” initiative, President Barack Obama has once again asserted that if Congress does not enact his policies in the future, he will continue to forge ahead on his own.

“When Congress refuses to act, Joe and I are going to act,” Obama said on Tuesday, with Vice President Joe Biden at his side. “In the months to come, wherever we have an opportunity, we’re going to take steps on our own to keep this economy moving.”

Obama: I'll Decide What's Constitutional Or Not

Posted by Brian
President Obama, who was highly critical of Bush Administration recess appointments, has nevertheless chosen to utilize this Presidential authority.  One problem: Congress is not in recess.  Senate Republicans have had at least one person on the floor of the Senate during the entire time. The President calls this trickery, but the fact is that this meets the legal definition of a "session". Thus, the Senate is not in recess.  This doesn't stop the petulant Obama, as he chooses to ignore this fact, and the Constitution (Art. 2 Sec. 2, Clause 2), by recess appointing the controversial Richard Cordray to a new government department (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) , and three Union thugs to the NLRB, all while the Senate is in session.
Republicans and Democrats alike should be very afraid of a President who willfully ignores the Constitution, and violates constitutional checks and balances, and the Separation of Power. Dictatorships are started this way.


ABC Hails Obama's Dubious Recess Appointment: A 'Consumer Champion'
By: Scott Whitlock
Thursday, January 05, 2012 1:39 PM EST
World News' Diane Sawyer on Wednesday hailed a questionably legal recess appointment by Barack Obama, praising the incoming arrival of a "consumer champion" who will "help" Americans with their financial problems. The program offered no skepticism as to whether a new, unrestrained bureau could harm businesses in America.

Sawyer teased the program, "Consumer champion. Can this brand new man in town help you with your mortgage, your car loan, your credit cards?" [MP3 audio here.] Instead of any questions about the bureau, reporter Cecila Vega featured Pamela Banks of the Consumer Union, a group that supported the recess appointment of Richard Cordray.
