Hoyer and Boner Tap Dance on the Constitution




                               

At a press briefing on Tuesday, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that President Obama had "broad authority" to take unilateral action on immigration but failed to directly answer a question asking him where specifically the Constitution authorized President Obama to unilaterally decided not to enforce immigration laws.
CNSNews.com asked Hoyer: “The Constitution requires that the president ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ Where specifically in the Constitution does it give the president the power not to enforce immigration laws against 5 million violators of that law?”

Hoyer did not point to any specific provision of the Constitution, but said that Obama had authority because "president have broad authority to deal with implementation" of immigration law. [Hoyer Doesn't Say] 


The very question we've all been axing since Holder and Obama attacked Arizona for ENFORCING  immigration laws.



But what the hell does it matter when BOEHNER NEGOTIATES TERMS OF SURRENDER TO KING BARACK'S EXECUTIVE AMNESTY?
