Obama: “We are days away from fundamentally transforming the United States.”
Obama said that a few days before he was elected, as polls showed him ahead.
It is now about to come true with a vengeance.
For the first time in our history, we have a President (whom the Constitution requires "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed") who will go before the people and announce flatly that he will refuse to obey the law of the United States.
Current law says that any person from a foreign country who doesn't have a visa, must leave. If reports are correct, Obama will announce that he will refuse to deport such people, possibly millions of them.
He will even declare that they are now legally here, even though no law has changed, and US law says their presence here is illegal.
That's about as fundamental a transformation you can get. We used to be a nation of the Rule of Law. Now we will have a nation where one person elected to execute the laws, can decide not to execute them after all. And even announce it in advance. And no one can do anything about it. Such nations are colloquially known as "Banana Republics".
Tune in tonight. See history made.
