And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Democrat publicly flummoxed when asked to provide the legal basis for Obama's executive order amnesty
Come on guys. You know there is an argument. Expect to be asked, and give the answer. Unless, of course, these pols don't expect their lapdog media pals to ask, and this guy was blindsided.
This is going to be a clusterpluck all the way around. The answer is for everyone to remember their constitutional principles and go back to them. There is a reason the president isn't allowed to legislate.
The founding fathers didn't want a dictator. The President feels differently about that philosophy -- and he does claim to be a "Constitutional scholar".
Of course there is no legal precedent...but Obama will set a precedent that the Democrats may not be comfortable with in a Republican successor.
