GOP VOWS TO FORCEFULLY COUNTER PRES. OBAMA'S IMMIGRATION ORDER (has no plan to do so) [View all]

For the next two years, enter the GOP-blocker!

WASHINGTON — Republicans on Thursday vowed a swift and forceful response to the executive action on immigration that President Obama is to announce in a prime-time address, accusing the president of exceeding the power of his office and promising a legislative fight when they take full control of Congress next year.

...

Mr. McConnell said just hours before the president was scheduled to speak to the nation on television. “We’re considering a variety of options. But make no mistake. Make no mistake. When the newly elected representatives of the people take their seats, they will act.”
...
the party is sharply divided about whether to shut down the government or seek Mr. Obama’s impeachment in an effort to stop the executive actions from moving forward. Some conservatives are pushing to do one or the other, while other Republicans have urged the party to avoid going down either of those routes.


The GOP's hair is on fire... and there is nothing they can do. NOTHING.

From Day 1 when Pres. Obama was elected, the GOP schemed to block every single initiative of his. Now he gets to do what he wants and they can't stop him. Furthermore, he has to power to block anything they would do.
