"So when Mr. Bush was using executive action that was violating the Constitution?" Could be. Now what's that got to do with Mr. Obama?

Are you a constitutional illiterate? Obama threatening to violate the constitution with his pen and his phone, because congress won't act, should disturb every American.

>> 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.
