Prima Facie Evidence
There is evidence and then there is evidence. Now there is a self-admission by our president that he has unilaterally changed a law as passed by Congress. In response to a immigration heckler yesterday, he said, "I just took an action to change the law" ... see: Breitbart Article. In the courts this would be called prima facie evidence. So, if ever our hope-and-change emperor ends up in the well of the Senate on trial for impeachable offenses, I' m sure that this admission will be front and center.
Of course this may never happen because Congress is batting zero for two in pursuing this Constitutional remedy. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a dangerous situation because President Obama keeps pushing the limits of what he can get away with. How much further will this former college lecturer in Constitutional law try the patience of the American people before the last two years of his presidency expire? One can extrapolate from the track of his expansion of powers from 2009 until now ... and it's not pretty. I personally worry about the mischief ... wrong word ... criminality that our monarch will be up to before he leaves the White House in 2017. What possibly could be a bridge too far?
Can anyone imagine an action that Obama could take that would throw our country into paroxysms of popular revolt? Stay tuned ...
Most rational people would be likely to dismiss the vague statement that seems to rankle the haters. I just took an action to change a law when I voted in the last state referendum on gambling. So sue me!
