New Executive Order


The Executive Order on Immigration: 

I personally think this represents Obama usurping Congress’s exclusive responsibility for immigration policy as set forth in Article I of the Constitution.  But most lawyers who themselves are pundits disagree.  The smartest of that bunch, Sean Trende, also sees future disaster for the country as a result of Obama’s trick.

“President Obama is likely to win this argument on legal grounds.  Once he does, there will be nothing to stop a future president from using the precedent for his benefit.  There’s simply no unringing this bell, and we’re all likely to regret its having been rung in the near future.”
