The lawlessness of the Obama administration is fast becoming a danger to our republic.
As Alexander Hamilton wrote in an essay in the American Daily Advertiser “If it be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws — the first growing out of the last… A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government.”

Via Breitbart:

Late last week, HHS extended yet another ObamaCare deadline, telling insurance companies that they must accept premium payments through the new deadline of December 31 for people who are seeking coverage that starts on Jan. 1.
As Charles Krauthammer noted on NPR, Sunday, HHS has “unilaterally and lawlessly changed every deadline in the Obamacare law without any legal authority in a way that is absolutely astonishing.”
If South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) had his way – the incessant lawlessness of this Regime would be stopped in its tracks, today. He was on Fox News, Sunday to talk about Congressman Tom Rice’s (R-SC) resolution in the House to take Obama to court for not faithfully executing the laws.
Gowdy told Shannon Bream that the Obama administration’s flouting of the law had reached an “unprecedented level.” He said that although individual congressmen don’t have standing to challenge the president – the institution of Congress, as a whole, does.
“The case law that says members don’t have standing also allows for the institution itself — under a theory of vote nullification, that if the executive is just nullifying the votes of a co-equal branch of government — that we may have standing,” Gowdy explained. “So an individual member — the case you referenced was Dennis Kucinich – challenging the actions in Libya — he does not have standing. But the institution of Congress as a whole, if it relates to recess appointments or the Affordable Care Act or immigration – courts have signaled that they may say the institution itself has standing, and that’s what Tommy (Congressman Rice) is trying to do with his resolution.”

What do you think, is the Obama administration’s lawlessness a threat to our republic?
