CHURCH GOES BAD, REALLY BAD: BRENT DETWILER'S OPEN LETTER TO SOVEREIGN GRACE & SUMMARY OF EVENTS


BRENT DETWILER FORMER BOARD MEMBER 
OF SOVEREIGN GRACE MINISTRIES
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
Posted: 08 Aug 2014 02:01 PM PDT
To the Leaders & Pastors of SGM, 
Over the last three years, God the Holy Spirit has been convicting you of sin, righteousness and judgment.  But like the Sanhedrin “covered their ears” at the preaching of Stephen, so you have covered the ears of your heart to Jesus Christ.  This hardness of heart has choked the seed of God’s word that was intended to bring forth repentance.   Alas, no fruit emerged.  The tree is barren.  
The Lord’s word through Jeremiah is true for you.   “In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction” (Jer. 2:30).   The Sovereign Lord has been punishing and correcting you for “lying, deception, hypocrisy, abuse, etc.” but you deny such sins have been committed by any of your leaders.  
In August 2013, you excommunicated me for bringing charges against you.  Here’s what you said.    
“As the Sovereign Grace Council of Elders, representing the elderships that govern local churches, we believe that Brent Detwiler has repeatedly and grievously slandered our churches and our leaders.  … This belief is based on the numerous public statements Brent has made accusing leaders of Sovereign Grace churches of lying, deception, hypocrisy, conspiracy, abuse, etc. without due process nor sufficient information and at times blatantly contrary to the facts.” (Council of Elders Statement, August 5, 2013) 
Without due process?  I pleaded for due process a thousand times.  You were always the ones who rejected it!  Nor sufficient information?  Three thousand pages of carefully documented evidence was not enough for you!  And at times blatantly contrary to the facts?  Like my claim that C.J. was asked to resign as President of Sovereign Grace Ministries!  You love to label as slander that which is true when corrected and confronted.  
I responded to these obscene charges in two blog posts.  You should read them in entirety.  Here are a few excerpts. 
The charge of slander is the only weapon in SGM’s arsenal.  They have never allowed me to present charges and they have never been willing to defend themselves.  Their only defense has been to label me a slanderer, tell people I am motivated by vengeance, and threatened people with church discipline if they read my material. (see for example, Ten Common Cult-Like Characteristics Evident in Mickey Connolly’s Leadership) …
They are welcome to accuse me of slander but they must prove it.  In over 3,000 pages of hard evidence, I have documented my charges of “lying, deception, hypocrisy, conspiracy, abuse, etc.”  I say to the Council of Elders, “Set up an open hearing!  I am glad for you to show me where I have presented insufficient information or information contrary the facts.”  That has always been my position and posture of heart. …
The Council of Elders claims I’ve accused their leaders without due process.  This is the most deceitful and disturbing comment of all.  It is pure spin and contrary to all the facts.  These leaders know I’ve repeatedly asked C.J. Mahaney and those accused to defend themselves. 
SGM has not been denied due process.  The truth be told, they have fled, loathed, and despised due process.  Due process means they have to provide answers to hard questions.  Due process means they have to be open and honest.  Due process means they have to refute evidence.  Due process means objective judges are present to adjudicate.  SGM fears due process more than anything in this world! 
In this act of great hypocrisy, the Council of Elders condemns me for slander without presenting evidence or allowing any defense.  This is a brazen denial of due process and an egregious violation of the polity they proudly espouse, but don’t follow, in their Book of Church Order. See Rules of Discipline, pp. 55-74. …
Council of Elders put forth your evidence to show where I have slandered, failed to put forward sufficient information, and blatantly put forward charges contrary to the facts.  This is not a dare.  I have invited such examinations for over three years.  I am serious about this offer.   
And then allow for reciprocity!  Let the facts speak and let me demonstrate that I am the one who has been denied due process and by malicious means.  You have never allowed me to make my case by presenting evidence, calling witnesses, or cross examining false witnesses though all this was promised me.  Instead, you have shielded the accused and let them off the hook when they have grievously transgressed God’s holy law (see for example, Get Out of Jail Free Card for C.J. – No Adjudication Hearing). …
When the Council of Elders met for the first time in May, they had no idea it might be a good time to humble themselves in light of God’s opposition!  There was no willingness to examine the past or present.  There was no self-suspicion or self-examination. 
Instead they took the occasion to exalt themselves by putting forth a statement that denies lying, deception, hypocrisy, conspiracy, and abuse by it leaders and especially by C.J. Mahaney.  In my opinion, and let me quote them, “Such harmful speech is ruinous to the church of God.”
Tragically the 50 representative elders have failed to be trained by discipline over the last two years.  They continue to lead SGM down the path of pride that has brought about its demise.  They have taking lightly the discipline of God and “run away from this process.” …
It doesn’t matter what the Council of Elders says about me.  I will continue to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and God’s people by presenting the truth about Sovereign Grace Ministry as fairly and accurately as I can.  I have no choice in the matter.  My life is not my own.    
In his providence, God has ordained every circumstance surrounding SGM for the good of his Church at large.  Once greatly exalted, Sovereign Grace Ministries has been brought low.  This is not due to slander or owing to the devil.  It is an expression of God’s opposition in the face of unrepentant pride. 
Sovereign Grace Ministries is in grave trouble.  This edict is a desperate attempt to salvage the vestiges of what little remains.  Please pray for C.J. that he will sincerely repent (see C.J.’s Foxhole Conversion).  Pray for the Council of Elders that they will pursue truth and justice.  Pray for national leaders who enable C.J. and refuse to examine the evidence.   
Pray also for law enforcement.  Widespread crimes have been committed and a great effort is being made to conceal them.  Last of all, pray for the victims of physical and sexual abuse in SGM.  There are 11 Plaintiffs in the lawsuit but many more victims.  The massive conspiracy to commit and cover up these horrors must be exposed by the power of God. 
It’ Been a Good Week!
Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Brent Detwiler
This week, I’ve been reflecting on the events of last week.  Last week, C.J. Mahaney was canonized and I was demonized.  I thank God for this development.  It’s been a good week!  
In case you’re not following, the national Council of Elders for Sovereign Grace Ministries put out a statement last week in which they highly commended C.J. and royally condemn me.  It was an answer to prayer!  
In fact, the statement not only justified C.J., it justified every leader in SGM against whom I have brought formal charges.  I am genuinely grateful to God for the clarity found in their unequivocal pronouncement.  We now know the position taken by the new governing body of SGM.  No accused leader in SGM is guilty of lying, deception, hypocrisy, conspiracy, or abuse. 
According to the Council of Elders, my 3,000 pages of documented charges are baseless and the 46 page class action lawsuit is bogus.  There is no conspiracy to commit or cover up sex crimes by C.J. Mahaney, John Loftness, Gary Ricucci or anyone else!  The alleged conspiracy is pure fiction per the Council of Elders and its Executive Committee.  In their view, not one shred of evidence exists in support of a conspiracy!  They agree with the former [interim] Board of Directors. … 
All of this is lost upon the Council of Elders.  That’s why their statement from last Monday is extremely helpful.  It sets forth in no uncertain terms their present view.  Anyone who reads it is up to date on what they believe about C.J. Mahaney and themselves.  Simply put, it is “all good” in SGM!  No sins.  No crimes.  No conspiracy.  All good!!!  
But this exalted view has only produced greater concerns for SGM in the hearts and minds of those inside and outside the organization.  People around the nation, and even the world, are shocked by the pride and heavy handedness evident in their statement. … 
This latest action by the Council of Elders was self-defeating.  From my perspective, the Lord sent a spirit of confusion into their “camp” like he did with the Egyptians (Exodus 14:24), the Amorites (Joshua 10:10) and the Philistines (1 Sam 14:20) of old.  The Council of Elders conceived a plan for victory but they were handed a defeat by the Lord.  Their commendation of C.J. and condemnation of me only heightened people’s concern for SGM. … 
I am grateful for this statement by the Council of Elders because it brings closure to the question, “Has SGM changed like they confidently claim?”  The answer is a resounding “no.”  Nothing is different except for external changes in polity.  There is no change of heart.  No ethical reform.  They have indicted themselves yet again in this statement.  Until they deal with the “lying, deception, hypocrisy, conspiracy, abuse, etc.” the Lord will continue to oppose them.    
Moreover, you exulted over C.J. though he is the prime example of these very sins.  You said,
“Furthermore, in contradiction to Brent Detwiler’s ongoing statements, we vigorously reiterate our support of C.J. Mahaney as a qualified minister of the gospel. … We also publicly declare our gratefulness for C.J.’s many years of service and commend his ongoing ministry of the gospel.” (Council of Elders Statement, August 5, 2013) 
You should have removed C.J. and Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville from SGM and asked him to step down from pastoral ministry for being unrepentant like the Acts 29 Board just asked Mark Driscoll do today.  Instead, you coddle and cuddle C.J. like a little child.  No one has the courage to speak out against him like men did against Driscoll in the Acts 29 network of churches.  You should read my blog post “The Twin Brothers Driscoll & Mahaney” from April 4, 2012.
I often think of Revelation 21:8.  “But the cowardly…and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.”  You can’t be a Christian and a coward.    You can’t be a Christian and corrupt.  And you certainly can’t be a Christian leader if you are both cowardly and corrupt!  When will anyone take a stand and boldly speak out in public!  C.J. should not be in ministry.
As leaders and pastors in SGM, you continue to tolerate the sins of lying, deceit, hypocrisy and abuse like the church in Thyatira tolerated the woman Jezebel.  No, even more!  You exalt and promote men characterized by these sins.  You put them on your Executive Committee and Leadership Team and make them your Regional Leaders. 
Once again, the Lord has exposed your deceitful scheming with newly released evidence.  Will you ever learn the Almighty God is not mocked?  In June 2012, members on the Board of Directors did not want C.J. to continue as President.  In September 2012, members on the Board of Directors and other major leaders wanted C.J. removed as President.  This was all covered up with lies and lording.  The proof is definite. 
My work has always been about telling the truth.  Someday I hope it leads many of you to repentance.  “Grieve, mourn and wail.  Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.” (James 4:9) 
Here are the links to my recent blog posts about the cowardice and corruption surrounding C.J. continuing and remaining the President of SGM.  I’ve provided brief summaries below but you must read the posts in entirety and face the facts.  Then maybe, just maybe, someone will have the guts to do what no one has done.  Come clean and tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth about attempts to remove C.J. as President and the cover up that ensued by C.J., John Loftness, Mickey Connolly and others.    
And even as I’ve been writing this post, I received additional evidence regarding the manner in which the Executive Committee pushed through my excommunication.  It would never have happened if further discussions were permitted as requested by Aron Osborne, Jim Britt and others.  These evidentiary emails between Phil Sasser (your Director of Church Governance) and Aron and Jim reveal more corruption and heavy handedness.        
Luke 16:10 Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
This newest illustration is in the “much” category.  The entire Board of Directors in conjunction with C.J. Mahaney, repeatedly deceived the SGM pastors, SGM members, and Body of Christ.  They purposely concealed the truth and actively put forth lies. In fact, top level leaders did not want Mahaney to continue as President and when he did, they worked to remove him.  All this was covered up by the Board, however, as they worked out a deal for Mahaney to transition under the pretense he was not the “best fit.
My last blog post was entitled, “Paul Buckley, Chairman of SGM & Other Top Level Leaders, Secretly Plotted C.J. Mahaney’s Removal as President.”  This post is a follow up based upon two emails from Jim Britt to Al Pino and Aron Osborne after the October 2012 Board of Directors retreat when Mahaney’s resignation as President was debated and discussed.
I first reported that Mahaney was asked to resign in March 2013. I was immediately condemned by the SGM Board of Directors for making such an outrageous claim.  SGM has always denied there was any debate, division, or disagreement about Mahaney’s role as President; let alone an earnest request for his resignation.  It is one more lie that has been exposed.  The truth has now come out.
I’d also recommend you read the following blog posts from July.
SGM Uses “Strategic Global Projects” to Fraudulently Raise Money
Brent Detwiler
Friday, July 4, 2014 at 7:28 PM
It is a marketing ploy to refer to these international involvements as “Strategic Global Projects.”  If they were strategic global projects, Sovereign Grace Ministries would be investing strategic global money! 
Instead, Cuba, the Philippines, South Korea, Zambia and Mexico are being used to raise “global money” to fund SGM in the United States.  These five nations will receive next to nothing in aid or assistance.
Supermajority of Florida Churches Leave Sovereign Grace Ministries 
Brent Detwiler
Thursday, July 10, 2014 at 9:53 AM
Over the past two years, 38 churches left Sovereign Grace Ministries, one church plant decided not to join, and two churches were closed.  Now a supermajority of churches in Florida have pulled out during the short span of two years.  Mark Prater does not want this information getting out.  It is disastrous news. 
SGM Pastors College on Life Support – Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Terminates Special Agreement
Brent Detwiler
Friday, July 18, 2014 at 5:57 PM
The Pastors College is on life support. Millions in debt.  No ties to The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  An average enrollment of nine in recent years.  Hosted by a church with corrupt pastors.  Led by Jeff Purswell who thinks the victims in the civil suit are liars and the sworn testimony of Grant Layman at the Morales trial was fallacious.  And a senior pastor who is under criminal investigation. ... Bad things lie ahead for C.J. Mahaney and Sovereign Grace Ministries.  If they don’t close the Pastors College in Louisville they are just postponing the inevitable.

"NOAH" & "SON OF GOD" MOVIES ARE LYING PERVERSIONS OF GOD'S WORD

We Thought You Should Know.
The Son of God and Noah movies are
lying perversions of the word of God.
“Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:6
Tonight, there are two films playing in this theater which both grossly pervert the Bible, the word of God. Some of us from Pilgrims Covenant Church are here tonight to warn you that the Noah movie and the Son of God movie are filled with inaccuracies; misrepresentations; and irreverent, blasphemous scenes and statements. It would take pages to document the truth of what I have just stated concerning these two movies. In this short space, I can only scratch the surface.
The Noah Movie, a Wicked Distortion
“. . . Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. . . . Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.” (from Genesis 6:8-9) “And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly . . .” (2 Peter 2:5)
In the Noah movie, the historical facts recorded and preserved by the Spirit of God in the Scriptures are distorted in a wicked and vile way. God’s character, words, and actions, as well as His purpose for the Flood, are blasphemously slandered and misrepresented. The character of Noah is likewise nothing like the true Noah, who was a godly, good, and righteous man, not the dark, murderous Noah of the movie who even attempts to kill members in his own family and enlists demons to help him build the ark! The lies presented as truth in the movie Noah are numerous and outrageous, not to mention wicked and completely against the truth of the word of God. To name just one more of many such lies, this movie portrays Methuselah, Noah’s grandfather, as a witch doctor who in the movie provides spiritual guidance for Noah! No wonder the foul-mouthed, anything-but-Christian director of Noah, Darren Aronofsky, told Movie News that “Noah is the least biblical biblical film ever made.” To learn the truth about Noah, the Flood, and God’s righteous reason for it, at least read Genesis chapter 6.
The Son of God Movie, a Blasphemous Mocking of the Word of God
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” 1 John 5:13
The Son of God movie is likewise a conglomeration of lies and distortions from beginning to end. Before I provide just a few of many facts to substantiate that assessment, I need to stress that this movie is unbiblical and even idolatrous for visually portraying the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who is both God and man, one person with two natures inseparably joined, though not co-mingled, acting in unison. Christ Jesus is God “manifest in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16) who came to this earth for a reason not at all clearly shown in the film: that is to act in the place of helpless, condemned sinners; obeying perfectly the law of God in their stead; taking their sins upon Himself on the cross and offering up His life of infinite worth to save from eternal wrath and condemnation in hell those who will repent and believe on Him as Savior, on His person, His blood, and His righteousness. Please read the booklet From Death unto Life for a thorough explanation of the way of salvation through faith in Christ. My purpose here is to briefly warn you about the Son of God movie. As I mentioned, this movie is idolatrous because it visually depicts the Son of God. See, for instance, Exodus 20:4-5 and Deuteronomy 4:15-18.
The Son of God movie misrepresents the purpose, twists the words, and slanders the character of Christ Jesus, which is blasphemy. This movie is filled with error from start to finish. Please bear with me as I mention just a few of such grievous errors. In the opening scene of the Son of God movie, “Jesus” wades out to a boat; and Peter pulls him in, at which point Jesus then says to Peter, “Just give me an hour and I will give you a whole new life,” to which Peter replies, “Who says I want one?” Then Jesus says, “I’m giving you the chance to change your life.” “What are we going to do?” asks Peter. To which Jesus answers, “Change the world.” This is all a figment of the movie producer’s imagination. In the biblical account of Jesus calling Peter and his brother Andrew as disciples, Jesus is walking by the sea and tells the two, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him” (Matthew 4:19-20). Jesus spoke figuratively in the incident, indicating He would make Peter and Andrew spiritual “fishers of men”:  that is by their preaching of the gospel.
The calling of Mathew by Jesus as His disciple is in this movie likewise a perversion, a literal mangling of the word of God. Read the truth in Matthew 9:9-13. The portrayal of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in Son of God is an outrageous lie from start to finish. In the movie, the Jesus character goes into the tomb and raises Lazarus by kissing him on the head, whereupon Lazarus blinks a few times and hugs his sister Martha. After that, the three of them walk out of the tomb to a cheering crowd. This is one blatant lie from start to finish. Read the true story in John 11:1-45.

The Son of God account of the Last Supper of Jesus with His disciples, in the night He was betrayed and before the day He was crucified, is a blasphemous, misleading fabrication. In the movie, during the Passover supper and inauguration of the Lord’s Supper with His disciples, a carefree Jesus suddenly has a vision of Judas betraying Him, after which He talks Judas into doing so. This is all breathtakingly false. By the way, at that supper in the movie, it is Peter who breaks the bread and declares, “This is my body which is broken for you.” But, the word of God plainly records that it was Jesus who did and said this (Matthew 26:20-30). And while Peter is busily saying and doing in the movie what in reality Jesus did and said, the movie Jesus stands behind Peter and says, as the true Jesus did, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”; but the movie Jesus leaves out this crucial gospel truth: “No man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

These are just a few of many outrageous lies presented in the idolatrous, blasphemous movie Son of God. To even briefly mention all of the ungodly, grievous misrepresentations and outright lies contained in the Son of God movie would take pages to document. The account of the woman caught in adultery, the feeding of the 5,000, the crucifixion of Jesus, and quite frankly, virtually every scene of Son of God contains horrible and misleading errors—bluntly put, lies. This movie is one long, blasphemous mocking of the word of God, the Bible, and the true Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Such a movie may result in financial profit for those who produce it; but Matthew 16:26 warns, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” and Galatians 6:7, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

50,000 CHARISMATICS "PRAY IN TONGUES" OVER POPE FRANCIS IN ROME STADIUM







CHARISMATICS PRAY OVER POPE FRANCIS (Friday Church News Notes, August 8, 2014,www.wayoflife.org,fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - On June 1, more than 50,000 charismatic Catholics attended a rally at Rome’s Olympic Stadium. One highlight of the event was a special prayer for Pope Francis to be “filled with the Spirit.” As he knelt by his papal chair, the crowd murmured charismatic prayers, including gibberish “tongues,” and “sang in the spirit.” Many, including bishops and cardinals, raised their hands toward the pope (“How Pope Francis Reacted,” Charisma, June 11, 2014). In a brazen reminder of the heretical nature of the setting, a life-size statue of Rome’s Mary, the Queen of Heaven, stood at the front of the papal podium. The pope exhorted the charismatic crowd to exercise “spiritual ecumenism” to heal divisions among Christians. He also invited the charismatics to St. Peter’s Square for Pentecost in 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the “charismatic renewal” in the Catholic Church. The “renewal” began when Assemblies of God Pentecostals laid hands on Catholics in 1967. Pope Francis says that he was opposed to the “charismatic renewal” when it first began, but now he is enthusiastic and claims to speak in “tongues” himself (“Pope, at Charismatic Rally,” Catholic News Service, June 2, 2014). Nothing is bringing the end-time, “one-world church” together more effectively than the charismatic movement and its contemporary music. 


THE POPE’S TOP TEN SECRETS TO HAPPINESS (Friday Church News Notes, August 8, 2014, www.wayoflife.org, fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - In an interview published in the Argentine weekly “Viva,” July 27, Pope Francis listed his top ten tips for “bringing greater joy to one’s life.” There was no mention of God or Jesus Christ or salvation. In brief, the tips were (1) Live and let live, (2) Give of yourself to others, (3) Proceed calmly in life, (4) Have a healthy sense of leisure, (5) Sundays should be holidays “because “Sunday is for family,” (6) Find innovative ways to create dignified jobs for young people, (7) Respect and take care of nature, (8) Stop being negative, (9) Don’t proselytize; respect others’ beliefs, (10) Work for peace. The focus on unity, non-proselytizing, world peace, respect of all beliefs, and environmentalism identify Francis as a New Age pope who is a major figure in the creation of the apostate one-world “church” of Revelation 17.  VIDEOS:

SECOND "COLD" WAR: RUSSIA BLOCKS FOOD SHIPMENTS FROM U.S. AND E.U.; ITS NUCLEAR BOMBERS FLY OVER ALASKA TO TEST U.S. RESPONSE

RUSSIA RETALIATES 
RUSSIAN TU-95 H NUCLEAR BOMBER
WITH FOUR DOUBLE PROPELLERS


COLD WAR II: RUSSIAN NUCLEAR BOMBERS CONDUCT 16 INCURSIONS 

OF U.S. AIR DEFENSE ZONES

Defense officials say Putin is testing U.S. command and control systems
EXCERPTS:
Russian strategic nuclear bombers have flown into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones at least sixteen times over the past ten days, according to Pentagon officials.
The incursions by Tu-95 Russian Bear H bombers are unprecedented, Defense experts say, leading some to believe that Russia is testing U.S. air defenses.
As reported by Bill Gertz of The Washington Free Beacon, The flights, which have also included a Russian intelligence-gathering jet flying near Alaska, were detected by the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), and have prompted the scrambling of U.S. jet fighters in several cases.
Amid a large strategic build up of nuclear forces, Russia has, in recent weeks, flown bombers closer to the U.S. than ever before since the fall of the Soviet Empire. 
On June 9th, U.S. F-15s and F-22s intercepted Russian bombers just 50 miles off the California coastline.

TEXAS USES MULTI PRONGED APPROACH TO SECURING ITS BORDER~SPENDING MORE THAN OTHER BORDER STATES, BUT BILLING OBAMA

TEXAS BORDER PATROL GUNBOAT WITH 
TRIPLE 300 HORSEPOWER OUTBOARD MOTORS




Texas Uses Multipronged Approach 

To Securing Its Border

EXCERPT:
A report in the New York Times on August 6 spotlighted the beefing up of the mission of Texas game wardens, who have gone from catching poachers and drunk boaters to apprehending smugglers and human traffickers. While the game wardens have no authority to enforce federal immigration law, they can make arrests for violations of state law, including human trafficking.
On the border, Texas uses helicopters with infrared technology. It has installed cameras activated by motion detection monitors on private ranches, which are monitored remotely. Texas has also a $7.4-million high-altitude surveillance airplane. State officials said that the use of the high-tech helicopters and the surveillance airplane to patrol the border has been responsible for more than 13,000 arrests, $87 million worth of drug seizures, and the rescue of 137 people.

OBAMA'S NULLIFICATION OF LAWS NOT A LEGAL OR JUSTIFIABLE CURE FOR CONGRESSIONAL "DYSFUNCTION"~AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT EXPECT HIM TO BREAK LAWS




Obama: Americans 'Don't Want Me Just 
Standing Around Twiddling My Thumbs'

Published on Aug 7, 2014

"[T]he American people don't want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs and waiting for Congress to get something done," President Obama said on Wednesday. But even as he takes unilateral action, "I'm bound by the Constitution," he said.

 Obama was responding to a reporter who asked him if a dysfunctional Congress gives him a "green light to push the limits of executive power."

 "Well, you know, I think that I never have a green light. I'm bound by the Constitution," Obama said. "I'm bound by separation of powers. There's some things we can't do.

 "Congress has the power of the purse, for example. I would love to fund a large infrastructure proposal right now that would put millions of people to work and boost our GDP. We know we've got roads, and bridges and airports and electrical grids that need to be rebuilt, but without the cooperation of Congress, what I can do is speed up permitting process, for example. I can make sure we're working with the private sector to see if we can channel investment into much-needed projects.

 "But ultimately, Congress has to pass a budget and authorize spending. So I don't have a green light."

 Although Congress has the power of the purse, House Speaker John Boehner told CNSNews.com in July he does not plan to use it to defund presidential actions that exceed President Obama's constitutional authority.

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan...

Washington Post to Obama: 

Don't Act on Own in Amnesty to Illegals

EXCERPT:
In an August 5 editorial, the Post insisted that the president's "understandable" frustration at being "stymied by congressional paralysis" does not give him license to exceed his constitutional authority by invading the domain of the legislative body.
"Obstinate, hopelessly partisan and incapable of problem-solving, Congress is a mess," the Post declared. "But that doesn't grant the president license to tear up the Constitution." The editorial board quoted Obama's words of nearly a year ago in rebuttal to his more recent claim that he would have to act to fix the nation's immigration laws "on my own, without Congress." Regarding what he often describes as a "broken immigration system," the president said last fall: "If, in fact, I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so. But we're also a nation of laws."

President Obama has given permission to launch US airstrikes on jihadist militants of the so-called "Islamic State", that have occupied north-west Iraq. However, he said the strikes would only take place in the event of Islamists attacking the Kurdish city of Erbil, where US diplomatic personnel are based.

President Obama's executive actions on immigration did not begin with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in mid-2012. It began in 2011 with his announcement of "prosecutorial discretion" on deportations. A few months later the border patrol noted the first uptick in unaccompanied children at the border.
