Plan B Forum

Republican Texas Rep. Randy Weber tweeted from the House floor that President Obama is a “Socialistic dictator” while waiting for the State of the Union to begin.

“On floor of house waitin on ‘Kommandant-In-Chef’… the Socialistic dictator who’s been feeding US a line or is it ‘A-Lying?’” Weber tweeted Tuesday night at 8:09 p.m., approximately four hours before Obama’s speech was set to begin.

Tea party stalwart Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says she was hoping the House could pass legislation to sue the president if he took too big of a legislative leap without Congress.

“The president renewed his commitment that he was going to be King Obama. This is something that is really frightening to the American people,” Bachmann says, pledging to advance legislation and file a lawsuit against the president.

That would be wrong—and it is the Obama precedent that is opening the door for future lawlessness. As Montesquieu knew, an imperial presidency threatens the liberty of every citizen. Because when a president can pick and choose which laws to follow and which to ignore, he is no longer a president.

Mr. Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas, serves as the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.

I didn't know the SOTU address was delivered at midnight?
Way past my bedtime.

They (the gov in general) pick and choose which laws to follow all the time. Which party the president is member of does not make a difference.
