Breitbart News -- Matthew Boyle

Freshman Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) is coming under fire for her failure to address what many consider to be one of the biggest constitutional overreaches by a president in U.S. history in her prime time response to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

Ernst didn’t mention the fact that Obama just weeks earlier announced an executive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens that Obama himself has said at least 22 times over several years he didn’t have the authority to do. She also didn’t note that, largely because of Obama’s big government policies, the nation is $18 trillion in debt.

“The president’s unconstitutional amnesty was a glaring omission from her speech,” Rosemary Jenks, anti-amnesty grassroots group NumbersUSA’s director of government relations, told Breitbart News when reached by phone on Wednesday.
