Lightbringer Obama, he of the phone and the pen, created law out of thin air, something the Executive Branch may not do without leave from Congress. He “legalized” illegal alien minors, but a Federal Judge just dropped the truth bomb.

EMail Doodlings – Amnesty by ignoring Congress; Rule of Presidential Fiat
Well, my friend Julius emails me from time to time on various topics just because he knows that I.Just.Cannot.Resist in either to let him grumble a tad (hey, we all do it, right) or he wishes to push a button of mine to see what comes out.

Hi Skip – I trust Father’s Day was kind to you, and you didn’t have to work
I have mixed feelings about this article, and was wondering what your take was.

Obama’s move on immigration is an unconstitutional disaster for the unemployed
President Obama thwarted the will of Congress and shunned the 20 million under-employed and unemployed Americans by announcing he will grant work permits to 2 million to 3 million illegal immigrants.
This appears to be an unconstitutional fiat that not only usurps congressional authority to set immigration policy but directly contradicts what Congress has already decided. The president suggests that his new policy is designed to enact as much of the DREAM Act amnesty as possible because Congress hasn’t acted on its own. But Congress indeed has acted — three times in votes that rejected granting these illegal aliens the legal residency and work permits that the president now says he will deal out all by himself Sure, the kids either came here under protest (few kids want to leave their friends behind) or outright dragged with their parents.
