Congress is out of the mix since Obama does what he wants via regulation. The action for us is moving to the states.

.
The following was written right before the Nov. 2010 midterm elections and predicted that things wouldn't change much because Obama does what he wants via regulation. So action will move to the states:

10/31/10, "Aftermath," Belmont Club, Richard Fernandez

"So if the president loses Congress, how will he make good on his threat to punish those who took it from him or let it happen? That avenging “we” isn’t going to be the now-Republican Congress. It will be the federal bureaucracy led by the executive branch. As Krauthammer notes, “over the next two years,
  • the real action will be not in Congress but in the bowels of the federal bureaucracy.
Democrats will advance their agenda on Obamacare, financial reform and energy by means of administrative regulation, such as carbon-emission limits imposed unilaterally by the Environmental Protection Agency.”...

The states are the other separate power in the federal structure.

Their stake in the outcome is as great as anyone else’s. At some point in an all-in political conflict, especially when money and authority is concerned, the several states are likely to play a part in proceedings.
  • It is unlikely they will watch completely passively from the sidelines.
What will they do about ObamaCare, financial reform, and carbon emissions?

What may occur after the Tea Party breaks over the capital is not that the wave will dissipate, but that the impetus will return to to the states and spread downwards from there. If 2010 was the year of the battle for Congress, 2011 may well be the year of the struggle for the grassroots. Act I is about to end. The curtain will soon rise on the second."

Ed. note: The Senate is still controlled by Democrats and Obama's ally Harry Reid. The House is controlled by Boehner who will do whatever Obama wants. The Beltway has completely sold this country out. So we look to the states although the left is way ahead of us. We've seen how the left has destroyed California and are well into destroying the rest of the states.We aim to stop that from happening.
