Recognized as one of the foremost authorities on the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court, Hentoff was a columnist and staff writer with The Village Voice for 51 years, from 1957 until 2008, when his columns began appearing in WND.
Hentoff left the Voice after he looked into the abortion industry, was shocked by what he found and had a falling-out with colleagues.
Many have regarded Hentoff as the conscience of civil libertarianism and liberalism for decades.
And now, the famous journalist says it is time to begin looking into impeachment.
Hentoff sees the biggest problem as Obama’s penchant to rule by executive order when he can’t convince Congress to do things his way.
The issue jumped back into the headlines last week when, just before his first Cabinet meeting of 2014, Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone … and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions.”
“Apparently he doesn’t give one d*** about the separation of powers,” Hentoff told WND. “Never before in our history has a president done these things.”
“He has no right to do these executive orders,” Hentoff insisted, his voice reaching a crescendo of indignation.
He says Obama gets away with it only because there is no outrage in Congress, no coverage by the media and no knowledge by the public.
“He’s in a position now where he figures he’s going to do whatever he wants to do.”
In fact, Hentoff said, Obama doesn’t even pretend to care about the separation of powers between the executive branch and Congress anymore, because “He’s the boss and hardly anybody cares enough” to stop him.
End quote.
~Excerpts from WNDHentoff is still a left leaning columnist but he's right about Obama. Between the RINO's wanting to be Obama's BFF and the media wanting to hold court with the "king", everyone's feeding the ego and pride and unconstitutional actions of this president. They are all guilty of ripping up the Constitution which IS the law of the land, regardless of who's in power.
For now.
