Charles Krauthammer writes for The Washington Post. He has an excellent column about President Obama's illegal maneuvers vis-a-vis illegal immigrants.
Dr.K asks what would have happened if a Republican president had announced he would not collect capital gains taxes and not penalize those who failed to pay? He attributes this hypothetical to law professor John Yoo. Can you imagine the Democratic outrage, the demands for impeachment? How is this unlike what President Obama has done with respect to illegal immigration? Simply announced he will not enforce the law.
I suppose he believes it is too close to election time to trigger an impeachment. Perhaps he is correct. It is an ugly precedent.
