Well that's really it in a nutshell, isn't it? The president's lawyers will claim that the precedent was set by Reagan and Bush, while your side will argue that it's only relevant if there was congressional intent.
Your theory begs the question that positive congressional intent is very evident in the fact that the Senate passed an overwhelmingly bipartisan, comprehensive, immigration reform bill and sent it off to the house for amendment or passage.
The fact that the house refuses to take the bill up must be your's and your site's theory that the EO Obama passed is going against congress and is an illegal executive order.
Wouldn't the next logical question be, which arm of congress has priority? the Senate with a large bipartisan vote for immigration reform? Or the House, who won't even bring the bill to the floor for debate. If they did, we might find that the majority of them are for immigration reform and would reflect the positive will of congress.
So the arguments the link makes are totally moot, as the House will not bring the Bill to the floor to even find out if immigration reform is actually the will of congress or not.
Thanks for the link. I spent a lot of time rummaging through it. I feel like I just got all of the "Soup Nazi's" secret recipes or was attending a meeting of a dark society that talks about conspiracies and secret forces at work. After 30 minutes, I wanted to march around the room, high stepping it with a flag. Any flag. Then I took a shower.
I suggest all regular posters on P&OC check out this link as it reveals three quarters of the threads almost word for word that get posted on this forum. you'll know what the fringe conservative right has to say before they say it.
