Was this filed in the Kenyan court system?

Trump is working a deportation order. Just say no to foreign workers!

Reagan used EO 381 times.


Clinton used it 364 times.


W used it 291 times.


Blackie has used it 182 times.


Funny.


So the GOP, who tried to scrap the affordable health care act more than 50 times, is sueing Obama because he isn't implementing it fast enough?


It is to laugh.


Doncha know? It's, as always,

Blame Obama!
Blame Obama!
Blame Obama!
Blame Obama!
Blame Obama!

To bad the Republicans didn't stand up for the fourth when Bush was in power.



Nor did they stand up and defend the 2d Amendment when Bush took guns away from people in NOLA. Meantime those same nitwits have been telling us that Obama is about to take your guns away - this for the past six years and he still hasn't taken so much as one gun.

Ah, so you think that Republicans suing Obama for using his executive authority, while urging him to use his executive authority is contradictory?


Why, you've barely opened that crazy floating door into The Republican Zone................






After conservatives on Thursday brought down House Speaker John Boehner’s bill to address the border crisis, the new House Republican leadership team issued a joint statement declaring that President Obama should fix the problem himself.

“There are numerous steps the president can and should be taking right now, without the need for congressional action,” the leadership quartet proclaimed, “to secure our borders and ensure these children are returned swiftly and safely to their countries.”

Just the day before, House Republicans had voted to sue Obama for using his executive authority.

They called him lawless, a usurper, a monarch, a tyrant — all for postponing deadlines in the implementation of Obamacare. Now they were begging him to take executive action to compensate for their own inability to act — even though, in this case, accelerating the deportation of thousands of unaccompanied children coming from Central America would likely require Obama to ignore a 2008 law.

Gave you a greenie for NOLA reference........but you gotta admit, Obama's lack of gun-grabbing has NOT been due to any lack of trying.....

I think the suit is ridiculous.

Impeach him or STFU.

As for extending his executive authority past its legal limits YEP, in spades.

Even the ECOTUS has found so.........

This could be a slippery slope for the GOP. After all, their POTUS went well beyond his executive authority to approve the use of torture.

In this case the defendent could well wish to present a defense to show he has worked rolled back authority abuses. Obama's comments the other day about how he put a stop to torture practices could well be his first shot across the bow.

Politics is the art of destroying the country while atempting to convince the electorate that you are working in their best interests. And must be paid more for your efforts.
