Those kinds of statements come out of the mouths of people who fundamentally do not believe in the constitutional separation of powers. Separation of powers if you are a public servant means that you win some, you lose some, but you accept the limits that places on your ambitions regardless of the outcome because you respect the Constitution's framework. But if you are not a servant but rather a petty despot, then separation of powers is merely a stumbling block to work around on the way to achieving your ambitions. If Congress says "no," then to hades with Congress and go around them.RJGold wrote:Made me ill watching the VP and the POTUS mouthpiece talk about how good this EO is and how they had to do it since the Legislature wouldn't...

In 1798, John Adams said in a speech this famous quote:
Please don't anyone be offended if you disagree, but for the purposes of this quote, I include atheism in the general category of the world's religions. I say it because atheism is still a belief system about the existence or lack thereof of a divine authority. So in my view, if one is moral and atheist, then one still falls into the general category named by John Adams as "a moral and religious people." The point here is that the Constitution only works if a people are moral, ESPECIALLY those people who are entrusted with political power. It is axiomatic that from whom much has been given, much is expected. It is entirely reasonable AND moral to expect of the people we have entrusted with power, that THEY will behave morally with regard to the limits that the Constitution places upon their authority.We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Obama and Biden are NOT moral people. Therefore, they do not observe the Constitution in anything more than lip-service. In fact, one of those two actually LIES about being a "professor of constitutional law," which is demonstrably made-up hokum. If Obama studied the Constitution, it was with the same eye that Hitler studied Poland, looking for her weaknesses to exploit to her ultimate demise [Cloward-Pivens Strategy, of which Obama is an avowed student]. THAT is why this administration has no problem ignoring the separation of powers required by the Constitution. They fundamentally do not respect the limits it places on their ambitions.
That makes them very dangerous men. We should deal with their political ambitions accordingly.
