Obama is expected to announce executive orders on unilateral immigration this Thursday, and some Republicans are gearing up for the fight.
According to Sen. Rand Paul, the Supreme Court could overturn Obama’s illegal orders.
Mr. Paul said Monday evening on Fox News’ “Hannity” program that a new Republican-controlled Congress could rein in potential executive orders through the appropriations process, as some in the GOP are calling for.
“We can pass legislation, but legislation would have to be signed by him,” he said.
But Mr. Paul hinted at another possible avenue, citing a case during the Truman administration where the Supreme Court overturned an executive order directing the government to run many of the steel mills in the country amid heightened demand from the Korean War.
“I think with regard to immigration reform, he’s doing something that Congress has not instructed him to do and in fact has instructed him otherwise, so I think the Supreme Court would strike it down – that takes a while, but that may be the only recourse short of a new president,” said Mr. Paul, who is a contender for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

Of course, arrest and conviction of high treason works well too.
Sen. Ted Cruz wrote an excellent piece published on Politico:
Obama Is Not a Monarch
The president cannot act alone; the Constitution requires compromise.
The Constitution designs a system of checks and balances for our nation, and executive amnesty for immigrants here illegally unilaterally decreed from the White House would seriously undermine the rule of law.
Our founders repeatedly warned about the dangers of unlimited power within the executive branch; Congress should heed those words as the president threatens to grant amnesty to millions of people who have come to our country illegally.
To be clear, the dispute over executive amnesty is not between President Obama and Republicans in Congress; it is a dispute between President Obama and the American people. The Democrats suffered historic losses in the midterm elections largely over the prospect of the president’s executive amnesty.
President Obama was correct: His policies were on the ballot across the nation in 2014. The elections were a referendum on amnesty, and the voters soundly rejected it. There was no ambiguity.
Undeterred, President Obama appears to be going forward. It is lawless. It is unconstitutional. He is defiant and angry at the American people. If he acts by executive diktat, President Obama will not be acting as a president, he will be acting as a monarch.
Thankfully, the framers of our Constitution, wary of the dangers of monarchy, gave the Congress tools to rein in abuses of power. They believed if the president wants to change the law, he cannot act alone; he must work with Congress.
He may not get everything he wants, but the Constitution requires compromise between the branches.
A monarch, however, does not compromise. As Alexander Hamilton explains in Federalist 69, a monarch decrees, dictates, and rules through fiat power, which is what President Obama is attempting.
When the president embraces the tactics of a monarch, it becomes incumbent on Congress to wield the constitutional power it has to stop it.
Congress, representing the voice of the people, should use every tool available to prevent the president from subverting the rule of law.
When the president usurps the legislative power and defies the limits of his authority, it becomes all the more imperative for Congress to act. And Congress should use those powers given to it by the Constitution to counter a lawless executive branch—or it will lose its authority.
I vote “High Treason!:” Get rid of them…how long do “we the people” have to wait?!!!!
High Treason!!!!! Execute this IDIOT. He/She (Nobody knows for sure, as he flies both ways!!
If they could force President Nixon to resign, WHY ARE THEY ALLOWING HIM TO REMAIN IN OFFICE.
I believe the constitution has a law that prohibits
1: Any person admitting, or being found to not being born in this country to be President.
2: any person suspected of a FEDERAL FELONY (Which both Congress and Senate has proven).
3: any person suspected in terrorism(which our president is suspected by WE THE PEOPLE to have had a hand in planning 9-11)
4: Any person who is suspected of having anyone of WE THE PEOPLE killed or injured (Which Obama has done)
to hold the office pf PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Furthermore, any president that has violated any rights WE THE PEOPLE
Any president that has ordered police to target certain groups,
Any president that IN ANY WAY CHANGES THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE from “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” to ONE NATION UNDER ALLA should be executed.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS VIOLATED SO MANY LAWS, and nobody is doing.
Someone needs to get off their lazy buts, and do the following:
1: ARREST THIS JERK AND HIS VICE PRESIDENT FOE HIGH TREASON.
2: TAKE THEM TO TOWN SQUARE, IN WASHINGTON D C.
3: HANG BOTH OF THEM FOR DEMORALIZING AND CORRUPTING THE MINDS OF OUR CHILDREN SO THEY THINK IT IS OK FOR THEM TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.
CAN WE PLEASE GET A PRESIDENT THAT IS A GOD FEARING CHRISTIAN SO WE CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO RIGHT THE WRONGS THEY HAVE DONE.
We need to turn back to GOD, as our presidents of old founded, formed, fought, and died for so we have freedoms that our SUPPOSED PRESIDENT HAS DONE!!!
This nation was formed for the people born in this nation, and get rid of EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN that is in our country.
Make THEIR OWN COUNTRY TAKE CARE OF THEM.
This Nation was founded with the HANDS OF GOD’S DIRECTION.

Good grief – All the huh – leaders would have to go 7 appt temps until new election could be set up – WE have a problem but have to do something – these people rot —
About time
HAD to post this – this is our law IF we still lived under the “rule of law” : Under Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv][b](iii) any US citizen that knowingly assists an illegal alien, provides them with employment, food, water or shelter has committed a felony. City, county or State officials that declare their jurisdictions to be “Open Cities, Counties or States are subject to arrest; as are law enforcement agencies who chose not to enforce this law.
“Police officers who ignore officials who violate Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv][b](iii) are committing a Section 274 federal felony. Furthermore, according to Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952, if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien.”
A lot of talk and no action.
Yeah, right , bunch of no-nut bastards……………..
You could arrest Obama and hold him for as long as needed as a Home Land Security Risk.He has committed treason and with him endangering American Citizen’s with the border crisis you can arrest Obama and erase everything he has done NOW.
