Before the Obamacare vote, "people" were mentioning how legislators were scared. I thought that was a very interesting comment and wondered of what, precisely they were frightened. I don't know if you follow Glenn Beck's TV program at all, but a couple of weeks ago, he did a program about the Left and the Far Left using each other, but willing to destroy each other in the end to gain ultimate power. The Far Left are those who are willing to engage in violence to get their way. I wonder how many in government have been physically threatened by the Far Left. Where would we be today if those bankers had walked out of that meeting right after the election instead of being cowed by Obama and his thugs? Who else is willing to draw a line in the sand and say, "DO NOT CROSS!!"
Could someone please post again that picture of BO and Biden having that pre-Inauguration "meeting" with the Supreme Court Justices? The Justices didn't look too comfortable.
Someone also said BO met with CJ Roberts on Jan. 14th. CJ Roberts "swore in" BO, muffed the oath of office, and "in an abundance of caution" had it redone, no audio or video, "in private."
I am under the very strong impression that BO has threatened SCOTUS with great harm. Physical harm, harm to their families.
The threateners are not the Far Left. And their threats work equally well on any ambitious narcissistic sociopath who deviates from The Agenda, Republican or Democrat.
Some governors like Jan Brewer and Chris Christie have no Presidential or other DC aspirations, so they are still free to speak their minds to a certain extent.
