Today’s Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article today about President Obama’s<\/a> plan to deal with climate change. President Obama is planning on unilaterally committing America<\/a> to\u00a0reduce its carbon dioxide emissions in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Aside from the questionable ‘science’ of global warming<\/a>, there is the issue of how President Obama is going about this.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

In a congressional hearing Thursday, George Mason University<\/a> law professor Jeremy Rabkin<\/a> told<\/a> lawmakers that Obama\u2019s argument that he unilaterally commit the U.S. to a United Nations<\/a> agreement without Senate<\/a> ratification was \u201ca real change in our Constitution.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cWe have certain background assumptions about how our government is supposed to work, that\u2019s why we have a Constitution,\u201d Rabkin responded.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what this is fundamentally about is saying, \u2018ah, that\u2019s old-fashioned, forget that, that didn\u2019t work for [President Bill] Clinton\u2013 we\u2019re moving forward with something different which the president gets to commit us,\u2019\u201d Rabkin added. \u201cThat\u2019s a real change in our Constitution.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a problem. Unless Congress has the intestinal fortitude to stand up against this power grab, we will be in danger of losing our Constitution. Because the U.S. Constitution<\/a> functions as ‘the law of the land,’ at that point we will no longer be a nation of laws. The only way to stop this runaway train is to watch your Representatives<\/a> and Senators to see what they do, and then vote accordingly in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
