Thursday, November 20, 2014, could be a day of infamy if President Barack Obama follows through on indications he will act on his own to give some form of legal status to as many as five million<\/a> illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

Some conservatives say liberals can\u2019t defend Obama\u2019s lawless action<\/a>, but there is no consensus among the former on what to do if the president intentionally violates his duty to faithfully execute the law.<\/p>\n

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz<\/a> (R-TX) calls on his fellow Republicans not to \u201cconfirm a single nominee \u2013 executive or judicial \u2013 outside of vital national security positions, so long as the illegal amnesty persists.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among other things, doing so would forever obliterate the Republican claim to defend the Constitution and the principles it preserves.<\/p>\n

Of course, all of this could be avoided if a certain former constitutional law professor would step back from the precipice. A little self-restraint would go a long way toward reestablishing appropriate boundaries on what the most powerful man in the world can, and cannot, do.<\/p>\n
