VIDEO: Lance calls on House to join legal challenge to executive amnesty

By The Staff | The Save Jersey Blog

Congressman Leonard Lance (NJ-07) backed House resolution (H. Res. 639) on the House floor today, Save Jerseyans, calling on the House of Representatives to join a court challenge to President Obama’s extra-constitutional illegal immigration executive orders:

“I continue to oppose President Obama’s illegal amnesty program.  I have long believed that the proper venue to challenging the President’s overreaching actions is primarily in the courts of this country,” said Lance. “As a lawyer who has practiced constitutional law in my home state of New Jersey, I have tried to study these issues closely. There is no gray area: Congress writes the laws, and the executive branch enforces them.”

“Prosecutorial discretion cannot be expanded to break the rule of law. Given the President’s gross executive overreach, it is essential for this institution to respond as a whole. This action today is not only prudent but an important and necessary step in defense of the Constitution and the rule of law,” Lance concluded.

  1. Wow. A regular bronco-bustin’, liberal-smashing, Democrat-defeating, rootin-toot’n Ronald Reagan.

    NOT. In reality, Leonard Lance is a simpering, weak-kneed, panty-waisted, Establishment tool who sees the writing on the wall and is doing everything he can to hold onto what little bit of power and prestige he has.

    Too little, too late. David Larsen will destroy him and Rooney will have yet another reason to curl up in a corner and suck his thumb.
