>> Really? So when Mr. Bush was using executive action that was violating the Constitution?

Not all "executive action" is a violation of the Constitution, and in Bush's case, it was generally related to the war which at least provides some basis for having done it. A lot of people have still claimed that Bush violated the Constitution.

In Bush's case it generally was not done as an end-around Congress. Obama is using it because his positions are so extreme and Reid won't bring any Republican legislation to a vote.

Big difference.


Huh.........if its a violation of the law, its a violation no matter the intent........whether its to make things happen because of Congressional inaction, or due to a war or because its an improvement over painting watercolors.

Running a red light is still a violation of the law whether you did it because you were going too fast, or because you were late for an appointment.

Did you really understand how the law works?
