You are preaching to an echo chamber, a confederacy of dunces more concerned with petty revenge than the country. All you will get in this thread is "but but Obama!!!" despite you clearly stating that you are not an Obama supporter. They are idiots. I commend your effort but I hope you weren't hoping for reasonable discussion.

bullshite. No other President has used EO's as a standing bypass to the leglislative process. Other President's have used EO's to name libraries and airports, and occasionally streamline the response to a natural disaster. The endrun around Congress is all Little Barry.

The funny part is these clowns were the first to blast anyone for invoking Bush's name the second Obama took the oath of office

Truth. They blame Obama for the results of the Iraq quagmire but mentioning Bush is off-limits...ya know..the guy who invaded the damn country. I'd be long gone if not for the laughs.

Hey Sport, Gary Johnson would have done the same in areas involving drug enforcement. And we would not have heard one peep out of you denouncing it

I'm a Trump supporter and I'm not a fan of this, however it's pretty funny seeing obvious leftists have to cower behind other ideologies to avoid being called a hypocrite. As much shite as I give you at least you admitted to voting for Hillary. Most of your cohorts are too ashamed to do the same.

Who are these TD posters that don't think Bush fricked up in Iraq and put it on Barry? Everyone here thinks Bush fricked that all up.

EOs have been misused long before Obama. I wish people would make an educated argument instead of just blaming Obama. Such an easy thing to do and it adds nothing to the conversation.

Yep. I believe Woodrow Wilson had the most with about 1800+.

EDIT: FDR by a lot!

I always enjoy the barista lawyer opinions of the court that they offer up for our enlightenment.

Ok well if we agree on this then why can't we talk about that? Why can't we talk about the issue at hand?

Do you know the difference between a leftist and a liberal? Serious question.

Meh, you ever heard of Youngstown Sheet v. Sawyer? Presidents have tested the limits on executive power for decades.

Blame the idiots who can't stay on topic and the idiots that come in just to point fingers at Obama.

1) there is a ton of precedence for what Trump is doing.

2) did you have a problem with Obama choosing which laws people got to ignore regardless of your personal safety?
