THE KING HAS A PEN BUT THE PEOPLE RULE

There has been some chatter over the president’s recent brashly arrogant statement that he will use his “pen and phone” if Congress doesn’t jump on board with his legislative agenda. Not only is his statement disrespectful of our nation’s system of co-equal branches of government, it slaps “We the People” across the face dismissively.

The Democrats in the House and the Senate remain silent. Speechless to Obama’s expansion of executive actions and unconcerned over their President that dismisses representative government. The quiet collusion of the Democrat Party that so consistently talks about being the Party for the people, the minority and the working class American apparently thinks dictatorial rule is fine. The Party that falsely claims America is a democracy apparently has no problem with Obama acting like a demigod dictator.

Who from the Democrat Party has stood up to challenge the President’s unilaterally pen that implemented by executive order the Dream Act when Congress defeated the bill? Who in the Democrat Party has challenged the President’s authority to delay deadlines in the ACA law without congressional approval in the implementation of Obamacare? Who in the Democrat Party has stood up for the Constitution of the United States and demanded that Obama and their own colleagues in power abide by the laws of this nation? Doesn’t that tell you all you need to stop voting for this power hungry Party? 

The Democrat Party has accused Republicans and conservatives of having wars against, women, immigrants, environment, minorities, welfare and social security. Yet the truth is that the only real political war in this country is being done by the Democrats on our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

Americans have been waiting impatiently for Congress (both parties) to stand up for the Constitution, stand up to executive tyranny, stand up for the American people and force the President to stand down from his imaginary imperial throne. The problem for the Republicans is that a court suit requires “standing” and not just by one political party but a bipartisan congressional lawsuit.

In law standing or “locus standi” is needed to bring a lawsuit and there are three requirement to standing;  direct injury by defendant to the plaintiff, clear path of cause and effect that leads to the defendant actions as culpable for plaintiff injury and lastly redressabilty. Redressabilty means that that a court ruling would have to have a compensating value for the injured plaintiff. 

Individual Representatives do not have standing to sue Obama but Congress as a whole body certainly does and the American people absolutely have standing. If Congress sued Obama claiming voter nullification by the Dream Act that was voted down by the people’s representatives in Congress, and then nullified by Obama’s executive order to institute it, it would meet the threshold. Yet even then can we trust the Supreme Court?

Obamacare should never have passed the courts constitutionality test and most American now believe  that the courts are just as politically vested in the outcomes of their decisions as with political party politics. Chief Justice John Roberts had no authority to redefine the word penalty in the Obama administrations legal briefs as a tax, yet that is what he did. I am not sure Americans trust our Supreme Court given how badly they let America’s Constitution down over Obamacare. Would the court dethrone Obama if there was a lawsuit to stop his executive overreach, or would they crown him and chide the American people that it is their fault they elected a king?  

  

When either party claims that there is little to be done to stop Obama’s tyranny, the American people don’t need to know law and legal terms to know that is a lie. Our system has at its basic core the rights of citizen’s voice and the duty of our representatives to express and enunciate that voice, but instead Congress (especially Democrats) have swallowed our tongues.

If Congress can’t legally compel this President to stop acting unilaterally to bypass the will of the people than why are our Representatives not standing on the front lawn of the White House in protest? Why are they not demanding that the liberal Press own up to the truth that this President has contempt for the American people and our Republic? Why are these so-called representatives of states in the union rolling over and playing dead?

Obama and the Democrats claim to be patriotic. They claim to care about their country. They claim that every vote should count and every American should have easy access to the polls, but why? Indeed why vote if it means you are voting to be dictated. Do the Democrats think that every political victory assigns them and their president a mandate of kingship rule?

Did you vote for Obama as emperor? Did you vote for Obama and agree with every thought and ideological policy that comes to his mind? Did you really think you could keep you doctor and your health insurance policy? Did you really think Obama and the Democrats care about what you want once they have your ballot counted? There is a reason for the term useful idiot. 

Americans are frustrated and the low polling numbers of Congress reflect the utter contempt they feel for a body that should be able to at least come together (Democrats and Republicans) to preserve the separation of powers and not allow the President to act lawless.

The President is desperately seeking to impose his socialism upon our nation ruining our economy in the process with his continued penchant for more and more spending at the taxpayer’s serf expense. His recent executive order to demand that all federal contractors pay their workers a new 10.10 dollar minimum wage is paid for by whom? The contractors will do what all businesses do, they will raise the price of the contract bid then send the bill to the government, and it will be paid by the taxpayers. Obama just took more money from the middle class private sector pocket and redistributed it to the government contract workers pockets by the stroke of his Marxist red pen. 

Americans did not suffer one abuse from the King but many and multiple usurpations and repeated injuries before we realized that petitions of redress were not stopping the tyranny of a free people. We beseeched the British Parliament but found them also “deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity” quoted from the Declaration of Independence. President Obama may have a pen, but We the People have always resisted being ruled, and if our Representatives don’t wake up and side with the people; well I think that maybe the sheeple will break out of their pens.
