It's worse than that, I think. How much does DACA cost? Nothing, because these people aren't being deported. So what is it that's being defunded if DHS doesn't comply? Deportations generally?
Congress cannot constitutionally deprive the Executive of prosecutorial discretion and the President's official power to offer reprieves and pardons. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this.
Of course, the Senate will remove the language, and it won't be in there when it goes to Obama's desk – he's promised a veto if it makes it there. If you doubt, ask yourself what happened to the same amendment King had attached to the 2012 DHS appropriations bill.
So much for the "New Coffman."
I had planned to root for Coffman against Romanoff but this is something that really annoys me.
I personally think conservatives should avoid speaking ill of other conservatives on a liberal blog. How is this helping?
That's the difference between a thinking being and a simplistic program that just regurgitates a few talking points which is what you are, flesh and blood or not.
ROFL . .
It can't even get three words out without misrepresenting — "I personally think…" Yeah, right!
What a tool?!?
Whatever. I follow the 11th Commandment.
Ummm, . . . Ronald Raygun was no Charlton Heston . . .
. . . just sayin' . . .
I dunno, the GOP and the Tea Party has been great at cherry-picking bible verses, and claiming the Founding Fathers created a Christian nation…
what's the big deal about adding a Commandment?
Unless a Republican pol isn't rabidly rightie enough. You have no trouble smearing those you see as breaking ranks. Your Saint Reagan may not have been very bright or even in full possession of his faculties for his last 5 or 6 years as president, but he had no trouble tolerating a wide range of views within his party, all but one set of which have since been purged. He even had friendly relations with many Dems.
That's why he, unlike today's Rs ,enjoyed broad enough support for much of his presidency to actually get re-elected while clearly already suffering from early stage dementia, not to mention all the criminal activity. To be fair he probably was the least responsible member of his administration, being so clearly impaired.
In any case, as long as you, program or human, represent the standard for the GOP it will never again win as big as Reagan did. Might never produce a President again without purging the purgers and the wackos first.
Well, let's see. In some peoples' version of reality, an open discussion of all viewpoints coupled with healthy criticism leads to better policies and growth of the country to which we all belong. In other peoples' version of reality, standing by your party is more important than trying to improve policy.
This isn't the fucking World Series, Arapa. Politics affects the lives and well-being of real people. Feel free to root for the Rockies no matter how badly they play–as do I–but in politics, ridiculous notions of tribal loyalty only show a weak mind and a lack of compassion for the human lives changed by political decision-making.
Better to have criticism now when chance for correction than to leave problem uncorrected through eve of 2014 election.
