Harry Reid believes that out Southern Border is secure

"By law, almost every one of the conservative super pacs applying for 501c status did not qualify"

PJ has access to their IRS documentation?

Original question - is there any limit to executive privilige or can the president change any law he wants? That is what the case is about. obama is laughing at the suit but he has lost 12 cases 9-0 in the SC in the last 18 months

Crossroads for America spent 1 billion in political ads in 2012. This is in clear violation of the law as it is written which says any such spending disqualifies a group from the 501c status.

Your position is clear. Out of one corner of your mouth you want the IRS to "change" written law (as you call it) in regards to the way it treats super pacs. Out of the other corner of your mouth you support a lawsuit that says the president can not change written law.

Hoops, you will never be taken seriously on this board so long as there is a civil war between the corners of your mouth. Let us know when you can articulate a consistent position that does not contradict itself.

PJ apparently knows all the details of IRS law.

Still avoiding the question - what are the limits to executive privilege?

There's lots of discretion when it comes to enforcing laws. And you agree as evident by the IRS issue. And So did President Bush as evident by his delay of Medicare Reform. And so has almost every president in history. And so does Stephen Colbert.

The treatment of American citizens of Japanese descent was probably illegal, but was never challenged

The president can use the national guard

Many of the things that Lincoln did was unconstitutional.

So there is no limit to executive privilege? We may as well disband Congress and the let the president do whatever he wants

Why does hoops2 not know anything?

This man was an American. Born in Oakland, California in 1919. His name was Fred Korematsu.



He was arrested at his home in nearby San Leandro, California because he refused to be relocated to an internment camp.



Mr. Korematsu sued, claiming the executive order under which he was arrested was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled against him, 6-3.

Later in his life, after this injustice was widely despised, President Clinton presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for challenging that unjust executive order.



Today, children everywhere are taught of Mr. Korematsu's fight.

hoops2 is incredibly ignorant of American history.

I corrected my misstatement. It is unlikely that case would be found constitutional today.

Apparrently PJ/forky/chilly feel the president can do anything they want. Considering obama's record in recent SC decisions (including a dozen 9-0 decisions) they should not be so confident

SO, I guess "our" system of Checks & Balances IS really working.
Gotta give a holler out to our Constitutional Forefathers for hindsight.

You most certaily did not.

Here's what you first wrote:

The treatment of Japanese citizens was probably illegal, but was never challenged

You changed that to this:

The treatment of American citizens of Japanese descent was probably illegal, but was never challenged

Fred Korematsu challenged the treatment. You're just ignorant of his challenge. Even after it's put right in front of your face, with pictures and a link.
