Two
days ago, testimonies were given on Capitol Hill that should raise
every American citizen’s concerns about recent flagrant abuses of
presidential power.
Michael
Turley, a Georgetown University Law Professor, issued this warning…
“The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is
doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional
system – he’s becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to
avoid.”
Equally
concerning is the fact that Congress isn’t stopping him because his
leftist sycophants in the Senate actually like what he’s doing!
Our
constitutional system of checks and balances is being subverted by the
Executive Branch to the point of being completely ineffectual. Please
see my urgent update below – Mat.
Conservatives,
Under
President Barack Obama, the Executive Branch’s quest for power at the
expense of the other two Branches is accelerating. In fact, the
administration’s propensity to sidestep the Constitution is making news
nearly every day now.
Earlier
this week, the House Judiciary Committee called in experts on
constitutional law to assess what they are seeing as a dangerous trend.
Enabled by the Democrat-controlled Senate, President Obama has
successfully tilted the balance of power decidedly toward the Executive
Branch.
Among
the most telling of testimonies was that of Georgetown Law Professor
Jonathan Turley, who said that the Obama administration has “an
undeniable pattern of circumventing Congress in the creation of new
major standards, exceptions, or outright nullifications.” Professor
Turley added…
“We
have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely
unchecked authority. And with that trend, we also have the continued
rise of a “fourth branch.”
We
have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme
Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or
interpret their own jurisdictions.”
++The “fourth branch” of American government.
In
the next 12 months, President Obama will seek to fill 50 federal
judicial openings and over 180 federal agency leadership positions.
He
will be stacking the courts and filling the federal agencies with
ideological clones – people who have come to be known as “Obamabots.”
This
will, in turn, empower federal agencies to pass mandates without
congressional approval and to persecute opposing organizations and
individuals, much like we’ve already seen with the out-of-control IRS,
the NSA, the FBI, HHS, and an unbridled EPA.
In
this chilling new scenario, circumventing Congress will be the norm for
the Obama administration and its ever-expanding federal agencies.
Then,
if these agencies’ mandates are challenged in federal court, the
President will have already taken care of the judges’ political
orientations.
Among
the first federal courts that will be jerked hard to the Left is the
Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, to which the
President hopes to add three judicial activists as early as next week.
That court is charged with ruling on Executive Orders and other
administrative matters – no wonder President Obama wants that court in
his hip pocket!
As
Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) said, “If we cannot go and get the
court to decide the differences between the two branches, then… the
imperial presidency is complete.”
++Harry Reid’s use of the “nuclear option” is fueling this disaster.
With
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s “nuclear” gift to President Obama,
the possibility of derailing these dangerous nominations has
substantially diminished. The nuclear option removed the minority’s
party’s ability to filibuster, rendering Senate Republicans almost
helpless in trying to stop radical nominations.
We
must do everything we can to help stop Barack Obama from stacking the
courts and flooding the federal agencies with his ideological clones!
Please
take a moment right now and utilize the powerful LCA Fax Barrage system
to tell Harry Reid, your two Nevada senators, and other key members of
the senior chamber that you oppose Reid’s tyrannical actions – and the
ramrodding of Obama’s leftist nominees through the Senate:
We
must fully expose and STOP this tyrannical, subversive activity before
the Obama administration and their congressional supporters succeed in
remaking the United States of America into a socialist nation!
Everything you need to barrage the Senate with our powerful message is one click away:
++Candidate Obama promised to restore power to Congress!
Here
is a profoundly ironic fact: In March 2008, presidential hopeful
Barrack Obama told Americans that as president, he wanted to redirect
power from the presidency back to Congress!
At
a rally in Pennsylvania, he said that one of the “biggest problems”
facing our country was President Bush’s attempts to “bring more and more
power into the Executive Branch and not go through Congress at all. And
that's what I intend to reverse when I'm President of the United States
of America.”
That falsehood ranks right up there with “If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it”!
++Barack Obama is the number one abuser of his namesake legislation.
In
recent testimony to Congress, Michael Cannon of the CATO Institute
cited President Obama for not faithfully executing the Affordable Care
Act law. Cannon elaborated on the fact that the President is not acting
constitutionally or lawfully if the decides which parts of the law to
uphold…
“The
law is a reciprocal pact between the government and the governed.
Public order requires government to remain faithful to the law as much
as it requires the citizenry to do so.
President
Obama’s unfaithfulness to the PPACA is so wanton, it is no longer
accurate to say the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is “the
law of the land.” Today, with respect to health care, the law of the
land is whatever one man says it is – or whatever this divided Congress
will let that one man get away with saying.
What
this one man says may flatly contradict federal statute. It may
suddenly confer benefits on favored groups, or tax disfavored groups
without representation. It may undermine the careful and costly planning
done by millions of individuals and businesses. It may change from day
to day. This method of lawmaking has more in common with a monarchy than
a democracy or a constitutional republic.”
Left
unchecked, President Obama will be able to pick and choose which parts
of any law he determines to uphold, as he has already done with
marriage, immigration, drug enforcement, rights of conscience, religious
liberties, and gun control – just to name a few areas of recent abuse.
It will take a massive number of American patriots to stand against the tyranny of the Obama/Reid machine.
Click here to send your faxes today. Even if you have already done so, please go here to further make your voice heard:
Thank you to all of you who are standing on behalf of our constitutional republic!

P.S.
This President’s agenda has been exposed – to transform the United
States into “a more socialized union” by undermining the Constitution
and siphoning power to the executive branch from the other branches of
government.
This “Imperial Presidency” is here to stay if “we the People” cower and refuse to stand against its tyranny.
Please,
fax the Senate today to tell your Nevada senators that you oppose Harry
Reid’s power grab. Tell them to vote down Barack Obama’s radical
nominees and stop his plan to stack the courts and federal agencies with
his leftist ideological clones.
Thank you and God bless you!
