The Orders To Nullify Any Adverse Consequence From The Court Were Already Drafted, or, How The Obama Administration Is Shredding The Constitution One Provision At A Time...

Roy Beck from Numbers USA, obviously not a disinterested commenter, weighs in on today's ruling:

In his dissent, Justice Scalia was much more specific, citing the Obama administration’s announcement just two weeks ago that it would refuse to enforce the law against illegal aliens who would benefit from the DREAM Act amnesty that Congress has rejected three times.
"After this case was argued and while it was under consideration," Scalia wrote, "the Secretary of Homeland Security announced a program exempting from immigration enforcement some 1.4 million illegal immigrants under the age of 30.

"The president said at a news conference that the new program is 'the right thing to do' in light of Congress’s failure to pass the Administration’s proposed revision of the Immigration Act. Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the Court (majority) does, that Arizona contradicts federal by enforcing application of the Immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind." 

As if to underscore Scalia’s assessment of the current administration as a nullifier of congressionally-passed laws, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano only hours after the ruling, announced that she would suspend yet another enforcement required under federal immigration laws. Because the Court ruling will result in a lot more illegal aliens being brought to the attention of the feds, she said, her department will suspend the 287(g) program in Arizona, and pledged that nothing in the ruling will interfere with the administrative amnesty announced last week. 

Only hours after the ruling...which says in effect--Screw the Congress, screw the States and their prerogatives, screw the Constitution, screw the Rule of Law, and screw you if you disagree with us.

If we don't like some provision of the law, we'll just ignore it!

Screw you!

(By the way, we'll always enforce the collection of taxes...)

The Executive Orders Are Drafted Already, Ya'll--Don'tChewWorry

This will be a big week for Himself.

Likely, he will lose on ObamaCare, since it is a 2700-page pile of unconstitutional offal.

Likely, he will lose on his dispute with the State of Arizona, again because he is in the wrong.

Eric Holder has been caught with his pants down so often that the contempt vote will not go Obama's way. The assertion of executive privilege will not hold water.

So...on Friday, OS expects a three-fer, in the manner of the ImmigrationReformByFiat stunt pulled earlier this month.

The executive orders have been drafted for several contingencies, and will be tweaked once the Supremes and Congress act. They will be issued Friday afternoon, under the radar, and this administration will commence to do what they wish to do, Congress and the Supremes be damned.

It's how Himself rolls, after all.

Chin-straps on, ever'body.
