The notion that President Obama is a lawless, out-of-control tyrant, hell bent on creating an unconstitutional dictatorship, has been a Republican favorite in recent months. It’s also demonstrably ridiculous. Some routine executive orders do not an autocrat make. I suspect that GOP lawmakers realize this, in their heart of hearts, which is why they keep the nonsensical accusations in the political realm, rather than the legal realm. If congressional Republicans genuinely believed the president is ignoring the Constitution and flouting federal law, they’d pursue impeachment. That they’re not reinforces the impression this is a manufactured, election-year tantrum, not a sincere concern for democracy.
