Well bad news, respect for the Constitution barely lasted a century, so that ship has sailed. And more bad news, being as legally unfounded as McCarthyism will never make Obama's amnesty declaration anywhere near as bad.

The fact that McCarthyism was unconstitutional is a tiny footnote of a problem compared to the fact that it was just a victim-drowning short of a modern-day witch hunt, and the fact that there were a couple of real witches in the town this time doesn't excuse it in any way

If Obama were to unconstitutionally found a kitten-cuddling facility tomorrow, it would not be comparable to McCarthyism either.

It's legally highly questionable at best, but nobody's lives will be spontaneously ruined by it. A few people's lives will get a lot better and competition will be stiffer for the crappiest legal jobs. There will be less competition for bottom-of-the-barrel jobs that are not exactly legal, involving child labor, sub-minimum-wage pay, hazardous and unhealthy work conditions and all that good stuff. Maybe they'll have to improve job conditions to fill those vacancies.

Just a disaster, huh?
