Der Fuhrer Obama

Excerpt:
It drives the left nuts when we conservatives point out that Obama wants to be a dictator and tries to act like a dictator. It also angers them when we point out that liberals would prefer a dictatorship.
If anyone has any doubt now that Obama is at least trying to act like a dictator, that doubt should all be removed. The precedent he has established is dangerous and unless the Republicans act to stop him, it could threaten the very Constitutional foundations of this Republic.
What has he done now?
The Obama Regime issued a new policy Friday, just in time for the Friday evening news black hole, telling Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials not to arrest or deport the parents of minor children.
Let’s ignore the policy implications of this for a moment. It is just creeping, defacto Amnesty. But where does Barack Obama get the authority to decree that certain parts of the law are simply not going to be enforced?
The answer is, it comes from the monumental ego of Barack Obama.
There is no legal authority for the Obama dictator to tell Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers not to do their job. There is no authority for him to order the Department of Justice to use “prosecutorial discretion” on a wide range of people. There are already legal provisions for asylum and other types of requests to stay in this country.
No, Obama wants to dictate.
This isn’t the first time he has done this.
He has done this with Obamacare, delaying unpopular provisions of this law until after the 2014 elections so that the Democrats will not be slaughtered at the polls.
In statutory construction there are two important terms that are used. The first is called discretionary and the second is mandatory. Discretionary terms are terms like “May” or “is authorized.” This gives the Executive Branch the authority to do something. Mandatory language is boiled down to single word, “shall.”
When the word “shall” applies in a law, the parties the law applies to have no choice. The law must be followed.
The Obamacare law says the law “shall” go into effect on January 1, 2014. There is no discretion there. There is no provision of the law that allows the Dear Leader to modify or change the law.
But that is not stopping Obama.
That is also not stopping the Republicans from going into the fetal position so they can preemptively surrender.
This weekend is the 50th Anniversary of the Martin Luther King, “I have a dream” speech. Among other things seen at the rallies put on by the far left as they hijack Dr. King’s legacy, was the “United States of Obama” Flag. This is an American flag where the field of white stars has been replaced by a portrait of Obama.
Perhaps nothing else shows what kind of danger we face today.
Obama acts like a dictator and there is a large section of America that is happy with that.
It is not too alarmist to ask the question, where does this end? What are Obama’s limits? If he is willing to ignore the laws Congress passed and he signed, what else is he willing to do? Perhaps the 22nd Amendment is something else he would like to ignore. After all, he is Obama and the Constitution is just a piece of paper. If he wants to run for a third term why should something like the Constitution stop him?
What if he wants to just unilaterally extend his second term for ten years? After all, it is only a rule written on an old piece of paper that says presidential terms are four years.
Are those extreme examples?
Perhaps.
But if a President is willing to ignore the law, where does his ambition and power stop?
