Harry Reid is fine with Obama "directive" ignoring immigration law

The top Democrat in the senate is fine with violating the Constitution, as long as that's done by Obama.

In a speech on the senate floor Tuesday, senate majority leader Harry Reid called Republican outrage over Obama's new decree ending deportation of young illegal immigrants "phony."

Reid mocked Republican complaints, saying they "cried about the way the directive was issued. They prefer a long-term solution — of course we all do. They don't like the timing. They should've been consulted on an issue this important. It should've been left to Congress. Being left to Congress — we've tried to do that for years and we can't because they won't let us."

Couple of quick points: Republicans weren't upset by "the way the directive was issued," you stupid son of a bitch. Rather, the outrage was that Obama issued a directive ordering federal employees to stop enforcing a law he didn't like. There was no issue about timing, or lack of consultation. You're trying to blow smoke to camouflage the raw, naked violation of the Constitution by your president.

Senator, it's clear that your lust for power has clearly caused you to forget anything you once might have known of the Constitution, so let's review: That document charges the president with enforcing the laws of the land. One of those laws is that foreigners can't just waltz in and stay here.

Your president just announced a "directive"--your exact words, senator--ordering federal employees to cease enforcing a particular law. And your mocking rant above shows that you completely support this.

Senator, when a citizen of the U.S. supports a policy that clearly violates the Constitution, what would you call that?

And to Democrats: Your party's top two leaders support a policy that violates the Constitution. Are you fine with that? They rationalize this on the ground that it's compassionate--"for the chillun'"--but if it's such a good idea, shouldn't it have been easy to amend the immigration laws to have the desired effect?

I'd say "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do," but Reid's mocking says they know exactly what they're doing.

And a majority of Democrat voters seem to be absolutely fine with it.

Amazing.
