The same congressional Republicans who joined me in blasting Pres. Obama’s executive overreach now cry out for a king to usurp legislative powers. If your faithfulness to the Constitution depends on which party controls the White House, then you are not faithful to it.

Ted Lieu Retweeted Justin Amash

I'm not sure it's actually politically helpful to Rep @JustinAmash when I say this, but I'm going to do it anyway. Justin Amash is my favorite Republican Member of Congress. While we don't always agree, I have always found him to be principled, consistent and courageous.
