It is nice to see that sort of candor coming from Democratic Senators. but. as my wife is fond of telling me. talk is cheap. If those dozen Democratic Senators who criticized President Obamas Executive amnesty as illegal and unconstitutional mean what they say. then the only responsible action is to use our legislative authority to stop it. I hope my Democratic colleagues will put partisan politics asideeven those who may agree with President Obamas amnestyand say that the way to change the immigration laws is to work with Congress and compromise. You may not get everything you want. but we have a system of checks and balances. It is strikingin many ways the simplest and best explanation of what the President has done came from "Saturday Night Live." The week after the Presidents illegal amnesty. "Saturday Night Live" reprised the classic "Schoolhouse RockHow a Bill Becomes a Law." They had a giant dancing. singing bill come out and say: "First I go to the House. then I go to the Senate. and if Im lucky. the President will sign me and I become a law." Then on "Saturday Night Live." President Obama walked out onto the steps of the Capitol and pushed the bill down the steps of the Capitol.
