Let’s see…
Last week it was rewriting our immigration laws (not that any of them are enforced anyway) to allow Islamists – make that, asylum seekers with loose or incidental ties to terror and insurgent groups into the country. So now we’re officially inviting in more folks like those nice Tsarnaev brothers.
This week, NerObama is yet again altering his signature legislation with that ubiquitous pen (I believe this is at least 17 times now – but who’s counting), conveniently postponing more of those unhealthy coverage deadlines until after the midterm elections.
Obama’s imperial proclamations are being delivered with growing frequency (not to mention arrogance). But since the only people outraged by these stunning abuses of authority are we constitutional conservative types – and who cares what we have to say – other like-minded statists are increasingly following the president’s lead with impunity.
Virgina ~
Much like the Obama administration arbitrarily decided not to defend DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) five years ago, last month Virgina’s Attorney General Mark Herring decided he could ignore that state’s ban on same-sex marriage; just took it upon himself to declare that the law was unconstitutional.
Washington State ~
Today Governor Jay Inslee announced that he was suspending capital punishment in the Evergreen state ~
“… in death penalty cases, I’m not convinced equal justice is being served.”
The fact that making that particular determination doesn’t fall within his “pay grade” is apparently irrelevant.
(Ironically Inslee, as a Democrat, is a member of the political party that strongly supports abortion, condemning millions of unborn innocents to death simply because they’re inconvenient.)
New York City ~
Before his term is up, Mayor de Blasio may wind up in a category all his own. Since taking charge of the Big Apple ~
• He declared that he would be banning the city’s iconic horse-drawn carriages (even though over 60% of New Yorkers are opposed)
• He arbitrarily eliminated law enforcement’s Stop and Frisk practice. He simply decided that the policy was racist – never mind that it was an effective crime prevention tool; 33% Rise in NYC Murders Under Bill “Soft on Crime” de Blasio.
• And yesterday, in his state of the city address, de Blasio announced plans to give municipal ID’s to the city’s ( half million 😯 ) illegal aliens (But aren’t they illegal? Hey, let’s not get petty), and demanded that NY Governor Cuomo give him the power to raise the minimum wage.
What else can we expect from our other progressive executives when the autocrat in the White House boasts to visiting foreign dignitaries…
“… as a president, I can do whatever I want”
… just kidding (wink-wink)!
Unfortunately, as the rule of law continues to break down across the country, and our fellow citizens either don’t know or don’t care that our government of the people is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, we’ll all be subjected to more and more of this openly tyrannical behavior.
