You are right

a comment on Takei's wall is public.

Here is what this Dylan wrote

Quote:
For those who think President Obama is over reaching in his authority, or he is acting like a king with his "Executive Orders", please remember that he is charged with the enforcement of federal law--how this enforcement is to be done is left to him by both Congress and The Court, so long as it is within the rule of law. If Congress finds what he is doing to be unlawful or outside his authority, they can pass new laws--better written laws to guide the President in how they intended him to enforce the law in the first place.

The mantra from the gun lobby for the past 20 years or so has been: "We don't need more gun laws, we need enforcement of the laws we have now." Well, today, President Obama did just that; he used existing laws to close loopholes and enforce federal regulations. He is operating in the exact manner in which the Constitution mandates he do. You don't have to like it, you don't have to agree with it, but I think, like our President does, if we can save even one life or prevent even one shooting, we are doing the right thing.

I was so proud of the President this morning. I can only hope that others will follow his example.
