President Obama’s agenda to “fundamentally transform” the United States of America has now been fully exposed as a systematic assault on our Constitution in order to form a more socialized union with an Imperial Presidency.
Democrats in the United States Senate have just granted Barack Obama one of the most powerful gifts ever bestowed upon an American President: The ability to stack the courts with judicial activists, starting with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that rules on matters concerning the federal government.
One lawmaker said that if Barack Obama can’t be stopped by the courts, “the imperial presidency is complete.” Liberty Counsel’s litigation work is about to grow significantly!
In a matter of days, President Barack Obama will begin cashing in on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s gift of destroying the filibuster on presidential appointments.
The President will soon be sending scores of radical nominees for confirmation in high-level judicial and executive positions. As a result, he will get virtually unchallenged Executive Orders and a host of new federal regulations – none of which will have been passed by Congress.
This is all happening because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Democrat entourage ramrodded a rule change called the “nuclear option” through the Senate.
What is about to unfold is unprecedented in the history of our nation – and is certainly not what our Founding Fathers envisioned.
President Obama will have the greatest opportunity to stack the federal courts and empower federal agencies with like-minded acolytes in the history of our nation!
This is an even greater opportunity for Barack Obama than Franklin D. Roosevelt had when he attempted to stack the courts under his 1937 “court packing plan” in order to make his “New Deal” virtually unstoppable.
Barack Obama wants to make his own “New Deal” – his Big Government, socialist agenda – unstoppable, as well. He particularly wants to protect his signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as ObamaCare.
++An Imperial Presidency is complete when the Legislative Branch is ignored and the courts are stacked.
President Obama has amassed more power for the Executive Branch of government than any other president in our nation’s history. The balance of power is now extremely tilted and our system of checks and balances has been subverted.
The first court the President intends to stack is the D.C. Circuit Court. This is considered to be the second highest court in the land in terms of judicial power, following only the Supreme Court, because it rules on disputes over White House and federal agency actions.
In considering a course of action against the President’s abuses of power, Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) said that Congress would have little recourse to curb Obama’s onslaught if it could not use the courts. Issa said…
“If we cannot go and get the court to decide the differences between the two branches, then… the imperial presidency is complete.”
Obama’s packing of the courts will greatly accelerate now, making the work of the Liberty Counsel litigation team even more challenging. It has never before been more important that we field the best possible legal strategies and tactics in defense of our precious but embattled liberties.
Realizing the tremendous need for Liberty Counsel to stand against the legal onslaught that conservative, pro-life, and pro-family individuals and organizations are about to encounter, a supporter of Liberty Counsel who ardently shares our concerns has given us a strategic $500,000 matching grant that will run to the end of the year, December 31, 2013!
This generous matching grant comes to help us in our defense of a number of nationally significant cases involving the sanctity of human life, the family, and religious liberty.
When you make a tax-deductible gift to help Liberty Counsel between now and December 31, 2013, your gift will literally be doubled by the strategic grant from our friend!
++The Obama administration once again has our Second Amendment rights in its crosshairs.
In a memo sent Monday by the Vice President on White House stationery, Joe Biden invoked the “tragedy in Newtown” in calling for more gun control. He cited the event as the launching pad of President Obama’s 23 “executive actions” for gun control, which Biden said were just the beginning.
Biden hailed Obama’s actions as being implemented “on our own” – in other words, without Congress being involved.
Congress rejected Barack Obama’s plans for more stringent gun control, and we know that these laws would not have curtailed the tragedy in Newtown.
The administration has repeatedly used the veiled threat, “we are pushing forward” while advancing their radical gun control agenda. “Forward,” in this case, is the administration’s code word for further dismantling the Second Amendment.
Representative Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) told Fox News that members of Congress are “appalled at the president’s actions – they are clearly unconstitutional.”
Bachmann added, “Obama can’t unilaterally make these decisions, Congress is a part of the government as well – you’re not a king, you’re not a dictator.”
Barack Obama’s rogue executive actions happen because Congress allows him to get away with it. The Obama presidency must be bridled. The rule of law must be enforced!
We are only getting a glimpse into the breadth and scope of what Barack Obama’s stacking of our courts and the flooding of our federal agencies means long-term.
One thing we know for sure, the judicial appointments are lifetime appointments, which means that it could take decades to undo what the President inflicts on us over the next 12 months.
We must stand ready to fight the legal challenges that are sure to come our way starting in 2014 and beyond.
We are entering into an unprecedented phase of Executive Branch tyranny in our nation, thanks to Harry Reid’s “nuclear” gift of presidential appointments now requiring only a bare majority for confirmation.
Today, please consider making a very special gift to Liberty Counsel’s litigation effort that will have double the impact in expanding the reach of Liberty Counsel’s litigation team.
