Obama The Tyrant Must Be Stopped

By Quin Hillyer on 1.5.12 @ 12:08PM

It is time for even the liberal sycophants to start standing up against Barack Obama’s transgressions. At CFIF, both I and Troy Senik have columns out today (here’s mine) explaining some of the lessons from Obama’s appalling, dangerous derailment of one of the most essential bulwarks of American constitutionalism, namely the separation of powers, with his dangerously illegal “recess appointments” yesterday.

To be blunt, I am expressly saying that Obama’s actions are illegitimate. He is a menace. Indeed, his actions are in a sense “seditious,” in the (Webster’s) definition of “incitement to resistance… against lawful authority.”

No, Barack Obama is NOT “lawful authority.” The Constitution is. And he has knowingly violated it, even by the testimony of his own solicitor general. On this front and many others, the man must be stopped. Period.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
