Our Republic is in severe jeopardy today because of Justice Scalia's death yesterday. And no autopsy makes it worse.

I believe Obama will appoint Scalia's successor, and that McConnell and the Senate will confirm anyone Obama wants, including the odious Eric Holder.

Imagine a 5-4 Supreme Court decision interpreting the 2nd Amendment to ban the mere possession of handguns. It could happen. MILLIONS of us would not comply, of course. Any attempt to force us would lead to mass death.

But this one event, Scalia's death, could be the inflection point of the downfall of the American Republic, and quite possibly the traceable initiation of the 2nd American Civil War.

2nd Amendment is settled law!

The Supreme Court can rule 5-4 against gun rights, but I’m pretty sure the states would refuse to comply. Let the feds come take them, and CW2 erupts. I’ll make Oregon look like Pre-K.

We are in for a rather rocky chapter in our national history if 0bama appoints someone to legislate from the bench and they orchestrate a way to overturn Heller and subsequently threaten the Second Amendment in the courts. Time will tell.

The Republic is already dead. It just don’t know it yet. 19 trillion in debt....no longer any debt ceiling limitation....its over. The only way it can be held together now is by force. And they will try.
