Like I said, this is the crisis on Free Republic.
People like me are certain we can’t survive another Obama term. Our nation will be irreparably harmed. Going forward our nation will be forever changed for the worse and will not be the Republic we have known and loved.

I guess we’ll see.
Perhaps it can't; but let me ask: what is America about?
It used to be about Truth and Justice; is now about equality-of-outcome?
Our nation will be irreparably harmed.
I think it already has been; Roe v. Wade is "established law" even though it prohibits States from protecting the lives of its citizens (required by the 5th and 14th amendments), and it sets precedent for the Supreme Court to make new law out of whole cloth as well as defacto amendment the Constitution.
Going forward our nation will be forever changed for the worse and will not be the Republic we have known and loved.
The President is mostly a figurehead with little real power*. The Congress could stop him in his tracks by cutting funding, or removing him, or altering the law, blocking cabinet nominations, blocking Supreme Court nominations, etc. There is a reason Congress's approval rating is less than that of lawyers or banks or BP during the spill.
* The President's real power is in his ability to "faithfully execute the laws of the United States"; why if he were to do that, things would be very different indeed...
