This clip is devastating.
When asking Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vermont) about the legal justification for part of Obama’s amnesty, Lawrence O’Donnell said last night on his show that he can’t find one single elected Democrat who can explain how Obama will be able to grant work permits to the illegal parents of children who are already American citizens. And indeed Welch couldn’t answer it either.
Watch:
It sounds like from Welch’s answer that he doesn’t give a flying crap about the constitutional legality of this move by Obama because in the end someone will have to defend the move in the courts. And that’s probably the position of most, if not all Democrats. Which is super lame.
I will also add that this ‘prosecutional discretion’ that O’Donnell touts doesn’t really justify the other parts of Obama’s amnesty. As we know, ‘prosecutional discretion’ was never made for the masses, it was made for individual cases that warranted special attention. But just as he has in the past, Obama is hiding behind this excuse in order to unconstitutional grant de facto amnesty to illegals all over the country. And this is why he must be stopped by the Congress.
