Obama says he has executive power to invade Libya without congressional approval. Obama acts as judge, jury and executioner in assassinating American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, and declares it constitutional. Considering his track record before the Supreme Court, all these claims should be viewed with extreme suspicion.
Liberals who obsessed over President Bush’s abuses of executive power are suspiciously silent now, or worse, defend the same behavior they found abhorrent in a Republican.
It’s up to debate as to whether Boehner has standing for this lawsuit. If he does, count me as an unlikely supporter.
Like a handful of liberal voices, at the same time I support most of Obama’s domestic policy initiatives, including those he accomplished through executive action, I can’t support the way he has put them in place. We elected Obama president, not emperor.
