The folks on the right are busy trying to find something, anything, they can use to mar President Obama's record. They forget that he was a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago and the Editor of the Harvard Law Review.
Right now, they are outraged that he finally acted after giving them over a year and a half since the Senate passed a bipartisan bill on immigration reform. Well, they'd better get a clue. He has plenty of legal authorities to consult and they have assured him that he has authority to take the measures that he's told us he will take. http://immigrationimpact.com/2014/09/03/136-law-professors-say-president-has-legal-authority-to-act-on-immigration/
Now GOP influencers are pushing for another government shutdown to retaliate for President Obama's exercising his legal authority. What another government shutdown!!! Remember how we all said that would hurt the GOP in the midterms? Now, the GOP leaders have said they really don't want a shutdown, but, I'm pretty sure they said that last time. Then, they ran around calling it the President's government shutdown. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/watch/gops-influencers-push-for-another-shutdown-361089603636
What do you think? Will Jim Demint and the Heritage Foundation hold sway over the GOP next month and get their way? Or will sanity be restored in Congress? One thing I know, I am going to spend some time contacting my representatives in Congress and letting them know how I feel about another government shutdown. Will you join me? Senate.gov and House.gov are the places to go to find contact information.
