President Obama made his choice in November. Now it is time for us to make ours. The President chose to sidestep Congress. and in the process to avoid debate and to rewrite our immigration laws on his own. Now we must decide: Are we going to be a deliberative body or are we going to be a rubberstamp for the Presidents agenda. whoever the President is happens to be in power. whether it is now or years from now? Are we going to be that kind of legislative body that just rubberstamps what the President does. or are we going to exercise our prerogative as an independent coordinate branch of this government to make sure our laws are faithfully and carefully executed in a manner consistent not only with the wishes of the people but also with the formula prescribed by the Constitution?
