RUSH: Obama has nullified the legislative branch

Picking up from Boehner's announcement yesterday that so-called immigration reform won't happen this year, apparently, only because Obama can't be trusted to enforce the law (right, Speaker...has nothing to do with the vast majority of Americans opposing amnesty, and conservatives vehemently rejecting the GOP's push), Rush nonetheless pinpointed the real constitutiional crisis in Boehner's excuse...
"...when among the people feeling powerless to do anything about it is the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, to me, that's big. ...

If the chartered body in our government that makes the law decides not to because they don't think that it'll matter because the executive branch will just ignore it, I mean that's a breach of serious proportion. That is a constitutional challenge and crisis that is very real, that nobody apparently has the courage to do anything about, because of the president's race. If the Speaker of the House really believes that, if members of Congress -- and, by the way, there's every reason to believe it. The president does behave outside the Constitution. ...

This is the President of the United States effectively nullifying the legislative branch of government, basically saying, "You know what?" and he has in practically these words and said this. "You know what? I got a pen and I got a phone, and if they don't do what I want, I'm gonna do it anyway." But you can't impeach the first black president, no matter how corrupt or how lawless. So, what'd Dr. King say? He dreamt of the day when we'd judge men by the content of their character instead of the skin color -- and skin color is everything now, and it is acting as a paralyzing agent."
Rush goes on to mention the circumstances of the previous post...
