It was a very eventful week. The House is suing President Obamain order to look tough to the Heritage Foundation which is basically running the GOP now. The lawsuit is nominally over Obamacare, but really because the President has yet to honor the GOP’s request that he quit being President.
In a brazen show of not quitting, President Obama announced this week that due to the fact that the Keystone XL pipeline is jamming up everything in Congress, he is going to stop deporting so many browns. That made the Heritage Foundation (and by extension the GOP) even angrier than they already were, and made Tom Carper lament the fact that the Keystone XL Pipeline is the root cause of all gridlock in DC.
“Given Congress’ inability to act (on the Keystone XL Pipeline) it is understandable for the President to examine ways the Administration can legally address the current needs of our country and the realities of the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the shadows.”
Carper added that while he supports the President, his first choice is to have a permanent, (bipartisan passage of the Keystone XL pipeline, which will allow for) solution to the immigration system.
You have to know how to read between the lines to make sense out of Carper’s statements these days.
In news from closer to home, Democrats in Leg Hall voted to keep, Pete Schwartzkopf as House Speaker, Valerie Longhurst as House Majority Leader and John Viola in his spot as Democratic Whip.
What does that all mean? I don’t know. But I do know Pete Schwartzkopf is terrible at spelling:
“I don’t even know how to spell gas tax.” Schwartzkopf said.
And I thought I was a terrible speller.
