The Lawlessness of the Obama Administration

Under our Constitution, it is the Congress who makes the laws; that's why we refer to Congressmen and Senators as "lawmakers".  The responsibility of the Executive Branch is to execute and administer those laws, and it is the responsibility of the Judicial Branch to pass judgement on anyone who is suspected of breaking them.

Nowhere does our Constitution give the Executive Branch the ability to decide which laws are or are not to be enforced. Yet, last Friday, President Obama did just that by sidestepping Congress and granting certain illegals the right to be in this country legally, and attend school and work without the threat of deportation or imprisonment.

This is not the first time that Obama's people have refused to pursue and prosecute certain offenders of the laws of this nation. The Obama Justice Department did it when it refused to prosecute the New Black Panthers for polling place intimidation during the 2008 elections.   The same Justice Department has done it by ignoring the mandates of the Defense of Marriage Act.  Obama, himself, did it by making recess appointments while Congress was in still in session under the rules that define a "pro forma" session.  Then, too, Obama forced Catholic institutions to provide contraception when, in fact, the Constitution provides for free and clear practice of religion without federal intervention.  And, the list goes on.

Not since Richard Nixon have we had an Executive Branch who has so blatantly ignored the laws of the land and the Constitution.  I guarantee that Obama will only become a bigger violator if he is allowed to serve a second term.
