Perhaps the most persuasive case against this disturbing unilateralism was laid out by President Obama himself. On at least 22 different occasions since he took office. the President acknowledged that he lacked the legal authority to carry out these actions. As he himself said. by broadening immigration enforcement carveouts. "then essentially I would be ignoring the law in a way that I think would be very difficult to defend legally. So thats not an option . . . What Ive said is there is a path to get this done. and thats through Congress." He was right then. he is wrong now.
