Paul Ryan Cheers the Courts Blocking the Presidents Overreach!

[Garion_55]

“In the coming weeks, we will be taking our next step to stop the president's executive overreach. The House will vote on whether to file an amicus brief in the Supreme Court opposing the president's executive amnesty. This is a very extraordinary step. In fact, it has never been done before.

“But this executive amnesty is a direct attack on the Congress's Article One powers under our Constitution. This is a question between Article One and Article Two.

“The president is not permitted to write law—only Congress is. The House will make that very, very clear, and we will do so as an institution on behalf of the American people on behalf of representative self-government.”...Paul Ryan

[MurrayDelph]

9. The only back Paul Ryan is interested in

is his own back side.

[First Speaker]

3. I guarantee you Ryan will eat these words within a few days...

...the GOP "base" won't tolerate him, or anyone, bucking Trump...

[lostnfound]

10. Not real.. or rather not current. Nt

[First Speaker]

11. Thanks--didn't realize that at the time...

...I should have known. Ryan is Trump's bitch, like all of them.

4. Too late--he already came out publicly in support of the EO. OOPS! I didn't read past your

subject line and thought he was trying to hop on the resistance bandwagon against this EO.

5. I hate it when others nanny me about what to post, but here I am:

I wish posts like this wouldn't toy with our serious feelings. But, oh well, I tell others not to nanny me.

6. Check the date stamp.

Ryan is not going to get in a piissing match with Trump. He needs him more now than ever.

[Cha]

7. oh shit

[Lucinda]

8. You should delete! n/t

[irisblue]

[ProudLib72]

13. Again and again and again

Why is the MSM not harping on this? All they would need to do is post the tweet on the front page or have Rachel discuss it. So simple.

[Garion_55]

14. it took me 30 seconds of googling 'republicans cheer obama executive order blocked'

to find this statement from him. im sure there are others from other right wingers as well.

[ProudLib72]

16. I mean as a reminder

that Ryan promised this with Obama and is backtracking. It needs to be current to show the hypocrisy.

[tavernier]

15. Water boarding...

...

Some people just seem to cry out for it.

[oberliner]

17. His Twitter page is full of balloons right now

This man is a joke with zero integrity.

I am glad at least a few Republicans (McCain, Graham) have not sold out whatever principles they had completely at the altar of Trump.
