#1 Again, Illinois has to apologize for this mope.
Illinois Democrats do not recognize the Constitution, Laws are for peasants, and rely on 'the dependent population' to keep office.
Can't remember a single thing Durban has done for this state besides moving to D.C.

#2 So much for separation of powers. Lip service by the oligarchs. It's like separation of church and state, but when they want to, they'll tell the Christians what little rights they'll actually have. It's all about power.

#3 "Borrow" the power! That's the ticket. Like cousin Elbert did with my '72 Pinto - not even enough left to scrap.

#4 Uphold and defend the constitution... I guess Durbin left that part out of his oath of office.

#5 Truth is, we continue on this path, there will be a violent revolution, sooner or later. "When in the course of human events..."

#7 I guess Durbin left that part out of his oath of office.

Mumbled it incoherently, I'll bet.

#9 If you don't have a border you don't have a country. So if someone who's sworn to uphold the constitution of the country decides to abandon the country then they're breaking their oath.

#10 Lefties can take an oath and not mean it. Oaths, like taxes and laws are for little people.

#11 I have to admire Democrats for their ability to utter such preposterous bullshit with a straight face. It isn't even clear what he means but I take it Illinois voters aren't bright enough to question it.

I hope Boehner has the guts to stick with his lawsuit. It sounds like Baraq was seriously taken aback when Boehner told him there would be no vote on reform this year. For once in his life Teh One didn't get every little thing he wanted and it really tweaked his nose. Dunno if Boehner was acting on principle or if Cantor's defeat put the fear in him but it's been a pleasant surprise.

#12 I am starting to think that Obama became a constitutional lawyer to know what to destroy.

#13 Until the 'pubs man up, this kind of crap will continue. Maybe the Tea Party can borrow some rope?

#14 "Senator for Life"

#16 I hope Boener has the stones to carry this suit through. I hope so, but I do not expect him to carry through. That is how I feel.
