The Constitution and the whole "checks & balances" thing is all set up with the assumption that we'd elect people of good faith, who weren't constantly trying to permanently usurp power from the other branches, and who ignore laws while sneering at what the public actually wants, and who completely politicize every branch of government to uses that are opposite of their original intent (Holder's DOJ? Give me a break).
The Framers couldn't have imagined that a slim majority of the public (with the help of media!) would be blind enough to elect a smooth-talking Machiavellian who actually holds ill will for both the electorate and the country itself.

Too bad they didn't go after the rude, condescending, judgmental posts in the upper forums with the same vigor. That's where people get scared away, not here.

Because your opinion runs contrary to many VJer's personal experience of moderation here, it's safe to say it's invalid.

One never knows around here. The rules seem to be written in disappearing ink.

Reminds me of the brainwashing of the German people during the Hitler and Nazi era.
Funny how the school is up in Yankee land, Imagine that......

Now how stupid is that? Do egregious, senseless violence on an innocent, and don't even take the dough? Jeeeez . . . I mean, if youi're gonna put someone in the hospital, at least take their money.

A recent Gallup poll finds that 65% of Americans disapprove of the preznit's handling of immigration.

But of course the White House blames Republicans for the flood of illegals.

This, while the "most transparent administration .... evaaaah" refuses to release figures of how many illegals are being released

Why is it so hard for this preznit to obey the law he's sworn to uphold?

More like Lord of the Flies.
That's it for me then.

In fact, today was the twelfth and thirteenth unanimous decision by the Supremes against the preznit since 2012. Say, you don't think he's been trying to subvert the law, do you? He seems like such a nice young man....

Why would DHS and ICE be claiming “surprise” at the current influx of unaccompanied minors on the border in June, when they were taking bids for an exact contract to handle the exact situation in January? A portion of the request for bids:
The preznit and his minions wouldn't lie to the American people. Would they?

Ideally, folks would be very circumspect about calling others "bigots" or "racists" as happened here (and in virtually every other thread in CEHST):
First, not every action, thought, or opinion can be attributed to racism, although you wouldn't know it from reading threads here. Sudan's decision to hold Meriam was entirely based on Sharia law, so it's not unreasonable to draw conclusions about Sharia law from their actions. This is not bigotry; it's simple cause & effect.
Second, every time someone cries "bigotry!", they weaken the word. Listeners grow fatigued of hearing it repeatedly (that's just human nature, like it or not), and as a result, real instances of bigotry go unaddressed. Unfortunately, accusations of racism have such a visceral effect that certain posters seem unable to resist making them over and over (absent a real argument), and it's such a hot-button issue in today's society that VJ moderators feel obliged to view these claims more seriously than is warranted. I wish moderators would consider this in their deliberations, but I'm not holding my breath . . .
By the way, the whole family has now been re-arrested. Nice country, Sudan.

Nah; that's right-wing nutjob crazy talk. This dude did it with his bare hands.

Ok...your unsolicited and unwelcome vote then.

Thanks for your unsolicited advice,

This one obviously doesn't know what DACA is.

Obama placed these people in the front of the USCIS line; in front of US citizens. That's whack. Having "empathy" for illegal aliens should not cost me another 6 months without my loved ones.

This one obviously doesn't know what DACA is.

Here's a NYTimes story discussing the initial delays. I would imagine DACA renewals will cause similar backlogs to when DACA was initially implemented (that have yet to be resolved).

You made this too easy. The word you abused here is "you're" and it's a contraction. You're a perfect example of your own hypocrisy.

and today they would have to add, and if I don't pass then I become an executive order

I cast my vote for Mr. Big Dog.

Ugh. Race-baiter extraoridinaire, and far from objective. One big NO vote.
