just in case you needed to whip out one of these quotes to slap down some crazy right winger, i have been compiling a few quotes...
GOP presidential candidate former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is pushing back against President Obamas proposed executive actions.
One, an amnesty rule, would provide more foreign worker permits for white collar jobs.
Huckabee says this power-play is classic dictator.
The Administration has also announced their intention to advance new gun control executive orders in early January of next year, notes Huckabees press release.
Huckabee stated:
With Congress away on recess and the American people distracted by the holidays, Obamas New Years amnesty power-play is classic dictator. This 181-page immigration amnesty rule is an unconstitutional assault on Americas workers. Why are we robbing seniors and veterans of their hard-earned benefits to give handouts to illegal immigrants and foreign blue-collar workers? Why did we fight a revolution against the tyranny of one, unelected monarch so we could surrender our Constitution to this out-of-control president?
Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News tonight that amnesty via executive
order is an ''impeachable offense.''
Obama's executive action on immigration rewards ''lawlessness,'' and he is
willing to disregard the nation's laws and allow immigrants to remain in
the United States for political reasons, said Palin, who has called on
Congress to impeach Obama.
According to Carly Fiorina, not only is President Obamas planned
executive action on guns misguided and reckless, it is also blatantly
unconstitutional.
President Obama has been a lawless president in his use of executive
orders, whether those executive orders are around immigration or
whether those executive orders are around gun control, the GOP
presidential hopeful said Sunday on CNNs State of the Union.
And it is delusional, dangerous, not to mention unconstitutional for
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to continue to talk about climate
change and gun control in the wake of a Paris terrorist attack, a San
Bernardino terrorist attack, instead of talking about a plan to defeat
[the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria], she added.

Ohio Governor John Kasich: Obama Is Not A King. Hes A President
[VIDEO]
In the coming weeks, we will be taking our next step to stop the president's executive overreach. The House will vote on whether to file an amicus brief in the Supreme Court opposing the president's executive amnesty. This is a very extraordinary step. In fact, it has never been done before.
But this executive amnesty is a direct attack on the Congress's Article One powers under our Constitution. This is a question between Article One and Article Two.
The president is not permitted to write lawonly Congress is. The House will make that very, very clear, and we will do so as an institution on behalf of the American people on behalf of representative self-government....Paul Ryan
