    President Obama will announce Thursday that he will use his executive authority to expand temporary protections to millions of undocumented immigrants, according to several individuals who have been briefed on the decision. Obama will travel to Las Vegas on the heels of that announcement to rally support for his initiative on Friday.

    Congress will receive official details on the move Thursday, according to a senior Democratic Party official.

    So, by FRIDAY morning...we should see exactly what the GOP plans to do....or not do.

    Look for two possible reactions from Boehner and McConnell-

    1. "Given the President's actions, we are going to immediate move to (insert favorite rightwing fantasy here) on Monday morning."

    or 2. "What the President did was very disturbing, we Republicans will take the weekend to mull over a variety of options and will get back to you next week...or maybe after Thanksgiving....could be late Decemeber....but then there's the Christmas recess....so definitely no later than mid-January...maybe February....March, tops!"

    1. The lawsuit hoax was just Boehner's way of keeping the Obama Derangement Syndromers happy until the 2014 midterm election was over. Now?...he's not even pretending to be serious about it.

    2. Impeachment is a non-starter....again, remember all the Rightwingers HERE on PF who were parroting Boehner when he said impeachment talk was a "Democratic scam" (Mind you, they have no problem contradicting themselves ....Orwellian doublethink).

    3. Budget cuts? A Bill forcing him to not do it? Obama vetoes it....McConnell doesn't have the votes to over-ride the veto.

    4. Government Shutdown? Even conservative Senators are telling rightiwng media that's a "no go". (cited in "Daily Signal" today)


    So unless the GOP comes up with something before Christmas (at a minimum)...even if they have to say "We'll do this, once the new Congress convenes in January)....

    the scientific term for what the Right will do is......"go simian-feces" :)

    Most of Obama's speech will be leaked out before tomorrow.

    Nothing good will come out of any of this.

    Executive Orders are temporary. I'm not sure what he hopes to gain by going that route. Republicans have called Obama's bluff on securing the borders with a comprehensive bill. He has no plans on following through with that part of the bill.

    His back is against the wall and he knows it. This red line threat won't be followed through either.

    - - - Updated - - -


    Oh he might sign it but he won't put in his outbox. He will hold it over the Republican's heads as a threat. But it will be another empty threat.

    Of course the fact that Ostupid doesn't have the authority to do this matters not to liberal morons.

    Perhaps it will be "We'll go on strike...we'll leave Washington and refuse to come back to legislate in Congress...until Obama does what we say!!!!!"

    And to think, if they didn't vote Democrat, Obama and his supporters wouldn't be eager to give amnesty to millions of uneducated Catholics.

    No he doesn't, we have three separate branches of government. If Obama does this, he's essentially violating his oath to follow and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

    If Democrats blatantly support this power grab, they would surrender the sanctity of the Union itself. Mr.McConnell, Mr.Boehner: You now have an obligation to impeach the Annointed One.

    Would Biden temporarily be POTUS? Yeah, better than the Usurper though.

    Would Democrats cry Racism? They already do, and they've shown a clear disdain for our laws.

    Would Republicans be damaged? To the contrary! 60% of Americans have had it with our Overlord.

    If Republicans REALLY want to reclaim the W.H, they'll do what Pelosi was too cowardly to do: Defend the Constitution and our country.

    Yes, and the President can use executive orders for things like this. End of story.
