Our King, Checkmated!

"King Obama thought he could do an end around on both Congress and the Constitution by a decree - or executive order."

That silly ancient Constitution! Man, oh man - does he ever wish he could get rid of that thing! Or if he can't get rid of it, if he could just put another socialist on the Supreme Court. Like the "wise Latino", who voted to give our President extra Constitutional powers. Fortunately, the vote ended in a 4-4 tie, which upheld the lower court's ruling. The President cannot make laws in lieu of Congress.

The ruling was to allow the deportation of up to four million illegal youth living in this country. King Obama thought he could do an end around on both Congress and the Constitution by a decree - or executive order. That of course was challenged by Texas as well as some other states. And now it is history - over. Our immigration laws can continue on as written.

There is a very important lesson to be learned from this decision. One that might even eclipse the unconstitutional nature of the King's executive order. We came within a whisker of losing this most important ruling. The four socialist picks on the court all voted for the monarchy. The other four voted for the Constitution. If Scalia had died earlier in Obama's term, there is no doubt he (Obama) would have picked another socialist. And then the monarchy would have won this case.

Where does this leave us? Really, in nowhere land. If Hillary becomes our next President, the vacancy for the ninth spot of the court will be front and center. And she will pick someone similar to who Obama would have picked. And then the court will be packed. That is, until there is another vacancy. And then Clinton will pack it some more. 

So for now, we will take it. I am just hoping the celebration is not short lived. We have to remember the Democrats are always into the long game. Always.
