As you can can see from the list above, it should be of no wonder the sheer audacity of Obama to say he has the legal system behind him with regards to Illegal Immigration.  But, this may soon come to an end with the new Senate being taken by the Republicans.  Having nominated a more radical replacement to Eric Holder, one Loretta Lynch, who seemingly agrees on 4 distinct issues, Obama appears to have that same swagger and audacity to think he's shielded.  For him to think that he's capable of going forward with his " I have a pen and a phone" idea also shows his ignorance and blatant disregard for the "rule of law".
