Well no, not exactly, but there were two more defections.
There had been an earlier one, so it was down to a Gang of Seven. I should have known that so I’ll pretend I did. Now it’s a gang of five.
The most recent defectors quit over the President’s arrogation of the power to enforce or ignore the law as he sees fit. They decided it would be mental to give him more laws he could enforce or ignore per his Executive Whim.
CAJ note: At the link above:
“…After years of hard work and countless meetings, we have reached a tipping point and can no longer continue working on a broad approach to immigration. We want to be clear. The problem is politics. Instead of doing what’s right for America, President Obama time and again has unilaterally disregarded the U.S. Constitution, the letter of the law and bypassed the Congress – the body most representative of the people – in order to advance his political agenda. We will not tolerate it. Laws passed by Congress are not merely suggestions, regardless of the current atmosphere in Washington. Laws are to be respected and followed by all – particularly by the Commander-in-Chief….”
It’s a good post worth reading.

When he isn’t posing for photo-ops with radical Islamic kidnappers or eating dinner with the president as rising stars of his party stage a historic filibuster, Arizona Senator John McCain enjoys muddling international diplomacy and insulting world leaders in the process—or so it would seem…
…McCain is badly out of touch with his constituents, his party and his country. He has found himself on the side of president Obama on numerous issues, while criticizing popular rising stars of his party as “wacko-birds.” The aging maverick of the GOP has become the poster child for a brand of Republicanism which is on its way to the scrap yard. An oddity of an age long gone, McCain has never met a war he didn’t like, even when it is fighting alongside Islamic radicals.
Recently, the 77 year old maverick hinted that retirement may be in his near future. For the love of every value you pretended to defend to the Russian people, Mr. Senator, please do not wait a moment longer.
