Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) suggested that House Republicans are on the verge of breaking their campaign promise to fight President Obama’s administrative amnesty, as evidenced by the legislative text currently being circulated.
* OF COURSE THEY ARE.
Sessions said that the proposed language “fails to meet [the] test” established by Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, who promised earlier this year that the GOP would do everything possible to thwart Obama’s executive orders.
“The executive amnesty language is substantially weaker than the language the House adopted this summer, and does not reject the central tenets of the President’s plan: work permits, Social Security and Medicare to 5 million illegal immigrants—reducing wages, jobs and benefits for Americans,” Sessions said in the statement expressing his dissatisfaction with the results of a House Republican conference meeting.
* GEEZUS...
In the meeting, “the lawmakers began coalescing around a two-part plan that would allow a symbolic vote to show their frustration with President Obama’s executive action on immigration, before funding the government ahead of a Dec. 11 deadline,” according to the New York Times.
* SYMBOLIC VOTE? THESE A$$HOLES WILL CONTROL BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE COME JANUARY'S CONGRESSIONAL SESSION! COME JANUARY BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE MUST ACT TO STOP OBAMA'S TRAMPLING OF THE CONSTITUTION!
Sessions wants Congress to attach a rider to the government funding bill that prohibits Obama from implementing the orders; his office released a list yesterday, compiled with the assistance the Congressional Research Service, of Congress doing just that on a variety of issues last year.
* CONGRESS NEEDS TO GO BEYOND THAT. THEY NEED TO DECLARE IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT NO PRESIDENT - NEITHER DEMOCRAT NOR REPUBLICAN - HAS SUCH POWER!
“Congress must respond to the President’s unlawful action by funding the government but not funding illegal amnesty,” Sessions said. “This is a perfectly sound and routine application of Congressional authority. In fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service reports that last year’s omnibus spending bill included 16 such funding restrictions on fee-based programs.”
* HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF: LEGALLY SPEAKING, IF BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS DECLARE OBAMA'S ACTION UNCONSTITUTION AND CITE THE PROPER CONSTITUTIONAL BACKING FOR THEIR POSITION STOPPING OBAMA SHOULD BE A SLAM DUNK.
To those inclined to worry that using the spending power would backfire on Republicans, Sessions suggested that economic populism would lead to a GOP victory.
“Polling shows voters believe that Americans should get preference for available jobs by almost a 10-1 margin,” Sessions said. ”Republicans should not be timid or apologetic, but mount a bold defense of struggling Americans.”
* THE PROBLEM IS... THE RINOs ARE STUPID.

Senate Republicans had no appetite for discussing how to thwart President Obama’s executive orders on immigration during the conference’s weekly lunch, according to a source familiar with the meeting.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Senator David Vitter (R-La.) tried to broach the topic, but were ignored.
“At different times, Lee and Vitter stood up and tried to begin a discussion about what the plan was and asked leadership about what their strategy was to deal with the spending bill and respond to Obama executive amnesty, and the reply was always an effort to try to change the subject to the ozone rule from the EPA or some other issue, and it was just bizarre,” the source said.
“What made it bizarre was that it was like [Lee and Vitter] were standing up and speaking in Latin,” the source continued, saying that other senators would respond to the immigration-related remarks with “a bizarre attempt to segue into a different issue.”
* THIS IS THE GOVERNING GOP.

According to research by policy experts Rachel Greszler and James M. Roberts at The Heritage Foundation, Social Security’s end-date is fast approaching, calculated to arrive far earlier than originally expected.
* SOCIAL SECURITY WENT UPSIDE DOWN SOME YEARS BACK. I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE BLACK OR RED LAST FISCAL YEAR. IN ANY CASE, THE PONZI SCHEME IS COLLAPSING UNDER IT'S OWN WEIGHT.
“Social Security’s trustees projected in 1983 that the recently enacted Social Security reforms would keep the program active for at least the next 75 years, through 2058,” reports The Daily Signal. With each successive annual Social Security Administration (SSA) report, however, the federal program’s approach date has accelerated, Heritage experts find.
“If the trend since 1983 continues, the program will become insolvent in 2024–34 years earlier than originally projected."
