There can be no doubt we are living in a
post-constitutional American. The long
march of progressivism has arrived. I
wonder if Woodrow Wilson, if he were alive today, would be proud, or aghast, at
his vision of an administrative state unencumbered by “meddlesome” and “clumsy nuisance”
that is public opinion.
President Barack Hussein Obama and his apparatchiks
have run circles around Congress and the American people. What his highness hasn’t accomplished by the
use of a pen and a phone, his bureaucrats have passed by creating rules,
regulations and mandates that have the force of law. It truly is astonishing. Here is an excerpt from the Washington Times:
With one day to go,
the administration added 81,611 pages to the Federal Register, according to the
Competitive Enterprise Institute’s count of the official record-keeping digest
of federal agencies’ rule-making. It’s the highest total on record and the third
time Mr. Obama has crossed the 80,000-page level during his presidency, the
institute’s Clyde Wayne
Crews calculated.
“This is the pen and
phone era, and the president has made clear he’s going to go around Congress when he gets the chance,” Mr. Crews said. “We expected Congress to do something about it, but it didn’t.”
Not only did Congress not do anything, they funded
his agenda to the tune of $1.1 trillion!
To add insult to injury, Speaker Paul Ryan and the republican
establishment have promised to defund Planned Parenthood and Obamacare after
they already funded it! They must take
us for fools!
The pen and phone president promised to violate our
Second Amendment rights as soon as he gets back from vacation. Can we expect Congress to block him? I think we all know the answer to that
question.
Congress has abrogated their constitutional responsibilities,
for every law they passed in 2015, Obama’s bureaucrats enacted 16 regulations. Does anyone believe this is how this country
is supposed to be run? If so, let’s cut
out the pretense and disband Congress.
It’s quite obvious they’re not needed.
