Coalition of 17 states file federal suit over Obama's overreach

Many top Republicans have denounced President Barak Obama's unilateral move designed to spare as many as 5 million people living illegally in the United States from deportation.
But not hard enough, not loud enough not persistently enough and not annoyingly enough. As always, reverse parties and imagine the endless ear-splitting screaming all saying the exact same thing; "THIS IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY !!!11!1111eleventy million1111!111."

But they don't. Why? It's in the name: conservatives.

Greg Abbot, Texas Governor elect, leads a seventeen-state coalition in filing a lawsuit in the Southern District of Texas that includes sixteen mostly southern and Midwestern states, arguing Obama's actions trample the Constitution.

How quaint. Trampling compared with shredding. Let's see how far it goes. While they're doing that law suit filing, the next assault against them is already being planned.

We all know that already. We also know that all we ever heard prior to Obama was Bush "shredding" the constitution. All voices saying the exact same thing using the exact same language, the precisely identical vocabulary. Like Borg hive mind.

These states are doing the work that federal level establishment big bodacious government Republicans refuse to do. The lawsuit raises three objections: 1) Obama's action violates the "take care" clause of U.S. Constitution intended to limit presidential power. Ha! Clauses in the U.S. Constitution mean nothing to so-called visiting Constitutional professors. 2) The federal government violated rule making procedures. Ha! Ha! How else is there to discover what one can get away with? It's all your money fighting on both sides. 3) The order exacerbates humanitarian crisis along the southern border causing increased state expenditures in law enforcement, health-care and education. Ha! Ha! Ha! "Reward your friends and punish your enemies." Obama told you that up front. That is the guiding principle of this president. The Chicago way. Isn't this what his supporters wanted? But Bush Bush Bush ruined the country. It cannot possibly be any worse than that. Everyone agrees, same voice, same language, same vocabulary, "Everyone hates us now."

And what? No mention of Article 1, §8 enumeration of powers?

The article on APNews.MyWay notes this is the 31st time Texas has brought action against the federal government since Obama took office. He describes Texas as "fiercely conservative", they with Democrat capital, leaving the suggestion the federal government is behaving ordinarily and without provocation.

Try fiercely constitutional. And how far did those 31 law suits go, what did all that achieve?

The author notes further that majority leader, John Boehner told lawmakers the GOP house may MAY MAY MAY, vote to undo Obamas's action, mostly symbolic, and Obama is expected to veto it anyway.

Current Texas Governor, Rick Perry who has deployed up to 1,000 National Guard troops to the border, said,
"In effect, his action placed a neon sign on our border, assuring people that they could ignore the law of the United States," 
Restrained understatement again. And what border? The border that Mexico keeps with us? Are you kidding? Borders are a state of mind.
 ...it could trigger a new flood of people pouring across the Texas-Mexico border and will promote a culture of lawlessness. 
Has promoted a culture of lawlessness.
Delaying the deportation of children brought into the U.S. illegally by their parents triggered an unprecedented wave of unaccompanied minors and families, mostly from Central America.
Think of the children, always the children and suitable for children ages 5-80.

Texas and border states, you are the enemy to the Democrat party and you must be punished. It is how things are done here in the United States. For now on.

I trust this more than what the Whigs may try.

The genius of Madison, federalism, is the best defense against a tyrant.
