It is just that insurrection is such a very bad option, and it gives so much power to a president that I DO NOT TRUST, that I hold it would be a bad approach.

I agree that insurrection is a very bad option and that's why I said it should be reserved as a last resort. But not ruled out entirely. Why? Because if you're so afraid that Obama will use the threat of insurrection as a reason to commit tyranny then obviously things are so bad that we NEED the ability to resist the government.

Think of it like a Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. So long as they behave then the sword won't fall. The idea is that they are then pursuing their self-interest by behaving and not misbehaving.
