I don’t think there is a legal way for the military to act. They’d have to break with existing law and lots of tradition to do that. Few if any soldiers would follow a gaggle of rogue generals and colonels.

Duh. Of course it would be illegal for the military to act - unless of course they convinced themselves that Obama had violated his oath and Congress was not going to do anything. I dunno.

I honestly have no idea what the troops would do. They are almost all profoundly patriotic and committed to the Constitution and our system. I think the crunch would only come if there were state level organized resistance to the regime -- with the state guard opposing the federal government - and federal troops were faced with firing on fellow Americans who were arguably defending the very Constitution they have sworn to uphold against the lawless Obama regime. I'm no seer, I have no idea what most officers and soldiers would do.

I don’t see what everyone is worrying about. That market’s going up big today!

It’s a happy day in Obamaland! (Until it isn’t.)

At this point, I would support a military junta if it was done to reestablish constitutional government in Washington, restore states rights and ban deficit spending. Let's take a poll to see how many Americans feel the same way...
