Teabagger Justin Amash: 'Me and GOP the only hope for the future'

For all of the talk from the right about following the Constitution, there seems to be very little knowledge of what the document actually says. They can read one line of the second amendment but that seems to be about it.

Representative Justin Amash (R-MI) told the Daily Caller, “President Obama’s penchant for executive orders is leading the government down a dangerous path, and Congress should act to correct it.”

To hear people like Amash talk you would think that Obama invented the executive order and is not a President who has issued among the fewest orders of this type of all of his predecessors. This inconvenient fact is simply ignored by the right as they erroneously identify, executive actions as executive orders in order to inflate the actual numbers.

Amash presents himself and the GOP as the last hope for the salvation of our nation and says that Obama is, “setting the stage for some thing very dangerous in the future,” and that it is time for Congress to, “step up and take charge and point out when the President is going beyond his constitutional powers.”
