Supreme Court bombshell:
Does nObama’s immigration guidance
violate the Take Care Clause?
David Bernstein
.
{insideronline.org} ~ In the process of granting review of the decision, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, invalidating the nObama administration’s immigration guidance granting de facto albeit revocable legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented residents of the United States... the Supreme Court unleashed a bombshell. Without any explicit request from the parties, the court added the following question for review: “Whether the Guidance violates the Take Care Clause of the Constitution, Art. II, §3.” This is a stunning development. The clause states that “The President shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” This is the first time, to my knowledge, that the Supreme Court, maybe any court, has suggested that the Take Care Clause is justiciable i.e., that the president’s inactions are subject to judicial review under the clause. I’m not sure that any Supreme Court litigant has ever even seriously pursued an argument under the clause. While opponents of judicial activism might be horrified by this turn of events, we should consider why the court seems to have volunteered to involve itself in what has traditionally been seen as a “political question” not subject to judicial intervention. Caveat: No one — not even Supreme Court experts — seems to know how many votes it takes to add an issue to cert. grant, or, assuming it takes four or five, whether the justices typically defer to their colleagues if one or more of them feel strongly about adding an issue. So we don’t know how many justices really wanted to decide the Take Care Clause issue..

{timesofisrael.com} ~ At the first Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing since implementation of the Iran nuclear deal... committee chair Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) expressed consternation that the international coalition responsible for holding Iran accountable for its obligations lacks the will to do so. After the United Nations Security Council didn’t address Iran violating its own ban on ballistic missile testing in recent months, it’s more than unlikely that an international partnership would respond effectively to more violations as European countries begin conducting business with the Islamic Republic, Corker indicated Wednesday. “The thinking that we are going to easily put that coalition back if there is something so out of bounds and egregious when everybody is in Tehran doing business right now is just not going to happen,” he said at this week’s hearing. “There now is no coalition and to me that is one of the greatest flaws of this deal now that they have what they want.”.

Military Martial Law Bill
Sneaked Through by Senate
.
.
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Bill gives nObama power to deploy military anywhere – including on U.S. soil... “The Authorization for Use of Military Force put forward by McCon-nell would not restrict the president’s use of ground troops, nor have any limits related to time or geography,” Defense One reported. In other words, the authorization allows the president to deploy the military anywhere at his discretion – both foreign and domestic – for as long as he wants. Several senators, including Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, were surprised by McCon-nell’s decision to fast-track the bill after a year of deep in-fighting over similar measures in the Senate. “He did?” he asked the National Journal on Thursday morning when reporters informed him about the bill. Even some Senate Democrats have an issue with a new authorization without geographical restrictions placed on the president. http://gopthedailydose.com/2016/01/23/breaking-military-martial-law-bill-sneaked-through-by-senate-video/.

.{redstate.com} ~ Fox News had on Kate Quigley, the sister of Glen Doherty one of the people killed by Islamist terrorists at Benghazi*... and to say that Ms. Quigley was appalled by the way that both former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have brushed off Secretary Clinton’s deadly incompetence with regard to Benghazi is to understate the case. Basically, Bill Clinton had been ostentatiously upset that his dear, dear wife was put through oh, so many tough questions by those awful Republicans from Congress. As you might imagine, this did not go over well with someone whose memories of Benghazi include a coffin. There are many things in that article/video that will make you grit your teeth in frustration and anger at the cavalier way the Clintons’ breeze through murderous foreign policy disasters of their own making, but this particular passage will probably focus matters a bit for you:

. {aim.org} ~ As the nObama administration celebrates what it claims is a great victory for its nuclear diplomacy with Iran, many Americans are scratching their heads and wondering how we got to this point given the many examples of Iranian bad faith and belligerent behavior since the nuclear deal was announced last July. For example…

The Iran nuclear agreement
is national security fraud
Fred Fleitz
.
.
.-Because the IAEA declared that Iran met the requirements to roll back its nuclear program to what the nuclear deal calls “Implementation Day,” it will receive approximately $150 billion in sanctions relief even through Iran is still designated by the United States as a state sponsor of terror and was listed in a June 2015 State Department report as the world’s leading terrorist state.-Over the last six months, Iran increased its support to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Hezbollah, its terrorist proxy.-Iran is threatening Saudi Arabia by backing a Shiite insurgency in Yemen. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states broke off diplomatic relations with Iran this month after the Saudi embassy and a consulate in Iran were ransacked.-Iran tested ballistic missiles in October and November even though President nObama and Secretary hanoi-Kerry said last July that under the deal Tehran would abide by U.N. Security Council resolutions for eight years calling on it to halt its missile program. (The Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Iran for the missile tests yesterday but Foundation for Defense and Democracy Executive Director Mark Dubowitz called them “symbolic and ineffective.”)-Iran fired rockets last month near a U.S. aircraft carrier. It also detained and humiliated 10 U.S. Navy sailors last week.-At the same time, few Americans understand that Iran keeps its nuclear infrastructure under the nuclear deal and will be allowed to expand it.-Iran will continue enriching uranium under the nuclear deal with 5,000 uranium centrifuges and will be developing more advanced centrifuges while the deal is in effect. This will occur even though when Barack nObama became president, his administration supported the Bush administration’s effort to stop the spread of uranium enrichment technology and strengthened a nuclear technology sharing agreement with the UAE which required it to not to pursue this technology.-Although Iran agreed to remove the core of a plutonium-producing heavy water-reactor, it will be rebuilt and redesigned with Chinese assistance. While the redesigned reactor will produce less plutonium, it also will help Iran to master this technology.-Although President nObama and Secretary hanoi-Kerry said Iran sent all of its enriched uranium out of the country, they failed to mention that this was a swap for an equivalent amount of uranium ore that can be converted into enriched uranium in a few months.
President nObama said last July that the issue of Iran’s past nuclear weapons work would be addressed. The IAEA issued a report on this issue in December that said Iran failed to fully cooperate and provided some answers to investigators that were false. The report also said Iran engaged in nuclear weapons research until 2009. Despite this report, the United States voted with other IAEA members last month to close the IAEA’s file on this issue.
.
Although nuclear deal has weak verification provisions, the Iranian parliament made them even weaker last October when it ratified an amended version of the deal containing new language on dismantling Israel’s nuclear weapons program, requiring that sanctions under the agreement be cancelled and not suspended, forbidding IAEA inspections of military installations, and barring IAEA interviews of Iranian military officers and scientists.
.
And then there is the issue of the “swap” of five American hostages for seven Iranian criminals held in U.S. prisons and the removal of 14 other Iranian criminal and terrorists from the INTERPOL wanted list. As objectionable as this sounds, President nObama and Secretary hanoi-Kerry failed to mention that Oman paid Iran $500,000 ransom each for the release of the Americans and that several were brutally mistreated while incarcerated. At least two other innocent Americans plus a U.S. green card holder are still being by Iran.

The nObama administration also took Iran’s sponsorship of terror and its meddling in the Middle East off the table. The deal drops U.N. and EU sanctions on Iranian terrorist individuals and entities. Even worse, the U.S. encouraged Iran to play a more active role in Iraq which is driving tensions between the Shiite government and Iraqi Sunnis.
