Honestly, if he did. I really don’t think the public would rise up and stop him. The people that would have to go to work, take care of their kids, and be upstanding citizens. It wouldn’t be worth it to enough people to get out in the streets. A state or two might secede, but that’s probably it.
You're right. The public is more interested in what's on cable TV, and whether or not they can cover this month's utility bills. But the Supreme Court might just weigh in...even the liberal justices might object.
And the military and the Secret Service might get a bit, shall we say, frisky. All the makings of a good novel.
But Obama will not provoke such a scenario in the first place. He is, at his core, a lazy and risk-adverse person. He will retire. And then he'll spend the rest of his life alternating between golfing and lecturing us on talk shows.
You're really big on this passive despair thing. I'm getting tired of it. Most conservatives do, in fact, care about important things like the law. If you don't like it here, find somewhere that fits your enjoyment of slack navel gazing hopelessness. Take your despondency and disbelief in the human spirit elsewhere. This isn't the website for you.
