Another thought, what if this is a perfect plan? Nobody thought Boner, McLame, and Linda would stand up to the prez. Why are they? Remember their little private lunches and dinners? What did they talk about? Could it be putting this plan together. A while back the tinfoil hat crowd said something big was going down the first week of October. Maybe it began the first week of October with the shutdown.
I think any “plan” is to cause so much chaos that Obama can rule by emergency decree. But once the house is afire, calibrating the damage is impossible.
