President Obama vs. The Constitution
Many Americans feels like our
country is at a tipping point. Barack
Obama has managed to tip the balance of power so far towards the executive
branch that many people wonder if a balance can ever be restored. Let me remind
you of a recent Fox News poll where 74 percent of respondents thought the
president is overstepping his Constitutional boundaries. That includes 54% of Democrats! Keep
in mind that America was founded on this principle of three co-equal branches
of government. It was set up that way to
maintain a crucial, yet fragile, balance of power. Maintaining that balance is key because it
ensures that our system is properly checking itself and that one branch cannot
abuse the others or the rights of the people.
Constitutional Tipping
Point
This week Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley testified
before Congress. He warned of the
dangers of Obama's accelerated usurpation of power, at the expense of the other
branches and ultimately the American people.
For years under the Obama administration, we have seen more examples of
Obama acting unilaterally to change laws or simply refusing to enforce
laws. This is a perversion of his role
within the executive branch. He's failed
to enforce laws such as DOMA or immigration laws. He's also used executive actions to change
immigration policies, drug offender policies.
Not to mention the countless times he's acted unilaterally to simply
change or delay parts of ObamaCare. |

Where's Congress?
Obama
vowed to use his phone and pen to effect change. This is exactly the dictator or king-like
mentality that our Founders feared. Amazingly
enough, when Obama vowed to take action unilaterally when Congress fails to
act, Congress stood up and cheered this concept during the latest State of the
Union address. They cheered! What Congress and all of us need to remember
is that the presidency is bigger than just one man. Preserving the integrity of the institution
is more important for America than supporting Barack Obama in his quest to
implement liberal utopian policies. As
Professor Turley said on Hannity, Obama is not going to be the last
president. What will all of these
cheering Congressional members say when it is the other party in the White
House? We've become so polarized and hyper-partisan that we fight vigorously to
win the political battle du jour at the risk of allowing our Founding
principles to erode. This isn't about
Democrats or Republicans. The power grab
that is currently happening by Obama and the executive branch is about
maintaining the integrity of our system of government.
Today's "Hot Topic" From the Hannity Forums:
Obama Warns Russia - Posted by Cratic 3947Obama
warns Russia about Ukraine, but no one cares what Obama says anymore...
Syria, Benghazi, and lies about obama care. Everyone knows he just
reads the teleprompter and then goes golfing. Perhaps if Russia were the
Tea party, he would do something to stop them.
>>TV Tonight (10pm ET on Fox News)
Hannity examines Obama's impact on American policy and why we're at a tipping point. |
