Thomas Sowell Disagrees With The DeWine Proposal
Senator Mike DeWine has introduced legislation to, among other things, retroactively make the President's warrant-less domestic spying legal.
Thomas Sowell, of the Hover Institute, writes, with regard to the immigration issue, as follows:
Does not the logic of that argument suggest that the DeWine bill should be defeated?
The president's proposal would solve the problem of illegal immigration by legalizing it after the fact. We could solve the problem of all illegal activity anywhere by legalizing it. Why should any of us pay a speeding ticket if immigration scofflaws are legalized after the fact for committing a federal crime?

You know.......I suppose I shouldn't continue to be amazed and appalled at the perfidy and disingenuousness of this Presidency and it's legislative branch - (who continue to believe that they are above the law, the Constitution, the Geneva Conventions and various other treaties) - and only have to follow their own rules - those they make up as they go along. Not unlike the passage of ethics reform which had not one iota of ethics legislation in it - none. Congress may as well be part of the Cabinet, too. And here I thought the branches of government were to check each others powers.
Self-policing is really working well relative to those ethics/legal issues - much less the autocracy - for the government, the servants of the people.
