Obama's Looming Government Shutdown

There comes a certain point when the law of a nation, and the media’s reporting surrounding it, ceases to have any practical value.  That point arrives when certain laws go unobserved by a ruling body, and the media fails to recognize the breach of the social contract that the violation of law represents.
That time, if we’ve been so obtuse that we are reticent to admit that it has already come, is now.
This bit of semantic tomfoolery by the New York Times is a perfect indicator:

Asserting this nation’s law with discretion, Obama intends to order changes to the law that will significantly refocus the activities of the government’s 12,000 immigration agents.  One key piece of order, officials said, will allow many parents of children who are American citizens or legal residents to obtain legal work documents and no longer worry about being discovered, separated from their families, and sent away.
