"Lawless" ... that's how Congressman Steven King (R-IA) describes Barack Obama's decision to trash and circumvent the laws that he swore to uphold by dictatorially granting backdoor amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. King specifically stated: "Congress writes the laws and the Executive Branch enforces them. For the president to have his subordinates declare and announce they're not going to enforce the law is de facto amnesty. It's essentially a de facto repealing of immigration laws; it's a lawless decision, and I am very offended by it - and we must take action." And Congressman King is about to do just that... Take Action. King has joined others, including Congressmen Allen West (R-FL) and Candice Miller (R-MI), and is calling on Congress to initiate Congressional hearings into Obama's latest attempt to circumvent the law and the Constitution; and it is imperative that we add our voices to King's right here and right now... at this very moment. Barack Obama has gone too far. He's like a spoiled child out of control. He's crossed the line, one too many times, and now is the time for our elected officials in Congress to finally do their Constitutional duty and put Barack Obama in his place. It's time for our Republican officials in Congress to finally grow some spines and send Barack Obama a message that they should have sent him long ago. You are NOT above the law Mr. Obama; and you are NOT the law. The United States is NOT a dictatorship. And the time to send Obama that message is right now.

Hans von Spakovsky with the Heritage Foundation writes: "When President Obama was inaugurated, he swore an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Article II, Section 3 directs the President to 'take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.' Unfortunately, in what has become an all too common occurrence in this administration, Obama is once again bending that oath to the breaking point by specifically not taking care that immigration laws passed by Congress are faithfully executed." John Stahl, the chairman of the Tea Party Immigration Coalition goes even further: "No president should have the ability to circumvent law. In fact, the law says anyone giving aid and comfort to illegal aliens is in serious violation of law. People have been prosecuted under that particular law." Stahl went so far as to call Obama's actions an "impeachable offense." One thing; however, is certain; the man who has usurped the position of chief law enforcement officer of the United States is effectively aiding and abetting illegal activity.

Speaking at a La Raza convention, Obama told the crowd: "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written." But temptation didn't get the best of Barack Obama; it appears all too clear that, as he was making that statement, Obama was intending to do things on his own all along. Back in June, Senator Jon Kyl recounted a private conversation he had with Barack Obama at an Arizona town hall meeting. According to Kyl, Obama told him: “If we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.” Kyl continued and told the gasping crowd that Obama was planning to hold border security "hostage." And let us not forget that the Obama Justice department is actively suing the States of Arizona and Alabama for attempting to enact and enforce laws that mirror federal immigration laws. The message Obama is sending is both clear and chilling: I decide what laws should be enforced and what laws should not be enforced and if anyone attempts to circumvent my lawless decisions, I'll bring the heavy boot of the federal government down on their throats. Congressman King cautions us: "The President of the United States and all his federal appointees take an oath to the Constitution that requires that they 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed.' "Our laws are to be enforced faithfully, not ignored or defied by the very people whose job it is to enforce them. I am calling for Congressional hearings on the Obama administration to put the President and all his cabinet members on notice that neither Congress nor the American people will tolerate such contempt for their own oath, the Constitution and the Rule of Law." King is right. No man is above the law and we will not stand idly by as one man defies the law and the time to send that message of zero tolerance is now.

Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) confirms King's assessment: "Regrettably, this isn’t the only instance in which President Obama has been tempted to do things his own way. It is part of a broader pattern of ignoring the law." A "broader pattern"? ... it's as wide as the Grand Canyon. FrontPage Magazine calls it a "habit": "Obama has a habit of not enforcing laws he doesn’t like. He doesn’t like the Defense of Marriage Act so he won’t defend it in the court. He doesn’t like energy exploration so he has ignored court order after court order that would allow deep-water oil drilling. He doesn’t like the free speech protections in the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC so he’s planning an executive order to undermine it." Add to that list: the refusal of the Obama Justice Department to prosecute armed Black Panthers caught on video intimidating voters at the polls, Obama telling Congress that he did not need Congressional approval to conduct extended military operations in Libya and yes, even his refusal to release his birth certificate to the American people and prove that he is even eligible to hold the office he now occupies shows a contempt for the American people that makes Obama a dangerous man.

Patriotic Americans have an obligation and a duty to speak out and demand that Congress take action and re-assert its Constitutional authority. Make no mistake, Obama's egregious actions transcend the immigration debate. His de-facto dictatorial and lawless decrees are an abuse of power and a clear and present threat to our Constitution and our Republic. Von Spakovsky again: "When President Obama was inaugurated, he swore an oath to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Article II, Section 3 directs the President to 'take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.' Unfortunately, in what has become an all too common occurrence in this administration, Obama is once again bending that oath to the breaking point by specifically not taking care that immigration laws passed by Congress are faithfully executed." Von Spakovsky goes on: "But this is also another example of the contempt that the President has for the separation of powers embedded in our Constitution. ... His assigned duty under the Constitution is to enforce the laws passed by Congress – not to act as a super legislator who implements his own laws when a particular bill he supports fails to pass in Congress. More than a flagrant abuse of the doctrine of ‘prosecutorial discretion,’ it amounts to lawlessness." There's an old expression: Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile. We've already given Barack Obama far too many inches. He's overstepped his bounds and patriotic Americans have no choice. He must be reined in... a message must be sent and the time to send that message is now.
