The right GOP response to Obama's actions

Now that President Obama has acted to defer deportation for some four to five million illegal immigrants, all eyes will be on the Republican Party’s response. How they handle the challenge may well shape the future of the party and the country. Provocateurs will urge defiance. Retiring Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn even suggested, “You’re going to see — hopefully not — but you could see instances of anarchy. You could see violence.” More likely will be attempts to defund the president’s order and legal challenges to his constitutional authority.

I would counsel a different reaction: Don’t take the bait.
