Obama's climate 'emergency powers'
World Net Daily ^ | 12/21/09

Posted on 12/21/2009 2:50:15 PM PST by antidemoncrat

Add to the unprecedented power grab because of "climate change," the imminent government takeover of America's health-care industry, "hate crimes" legislation and a dozen other extra-constitutional actions of this Congress and this president and you begin to get an appreciation of the fact that the U.S. government is no longer acting within the framework of the rule of law and the will of the people.

Obama's "never waste a crisis" philosophy is wearing a little thin.

Maybe if he talks more about himself ... all our troubles will go away. Magically disappear.

And our generals just sit back and worry about their political careers while the constitution they are legally sworn to protect is shredded and used as toilet paper by those who are in congress.

I am serious here. Why can't the military get involved in this?

I am a simple man (obviously) and don't understand why our military men can't step in and RESTOR our constitutional form of government?!?!

I am looking for an honest answer as to why they haven't or won't step in to correct this.

They would have my support (so long as the takeover was to restore our constitutional form of government.)

They are all liars who knew full well that Dubya was not out to take away their liberties.

The are todays pirates backing capt. Obama.

Clearly there has been a quiet mutiny with the mutineers dictating how things will be, and it has slipped right past the American people. With this mutiny, the King now has new rights to empower his destruction of one of Gods greatest gifts to man. He is already ignoring, shirking his first responsibility ... to Americans, but now he is codifying his new rights ,,,,, as King, the ruler of America.

Better still...whre is "dubya". Why hasn't he surfaced one time to defend himself from all the frivilous charges the kenyan throws at him, or at least to comment on the state of affairs that we're in.

I'm thinking that's why obama brought up all those threats to investigate and possibly press charges against Bush, Cheney, and all those lawyers...to silence them with intimidation.

Clinton and carter don't hold back from running their traps at every opportunity, so W should jump in there too. I'd like to know what he thinks about all this fall into communism. Remaining quiet only makes obama's case.

With all the sniping he took from the right, I don't see where he has an obligation to help bail them out.

W. earned the right after 8 years of true leadership to sit back in his easy chair and say, "See, I wasn't so bad now, was I?"

The Bush family, in fact, has done more true public service in their combined pinky fingers than the Dems have done in their whole party. The don't owe a thing.

The situation has not developed yet to the point that the oath-bearers would be justified to act.

Give it 12-18 months, and keep your powder dry.

A minor little part of the Constitution that you may have overlooked.

Article II, Section. 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;

As long as they continue to believe that BHO is the President, they are bound by their oaths to obey his orders, as long as they are lawful, under the Constition and the laws made under its delegated powers, and not go off on their own hook. If the time comes when they can be convinced that he is not the President, because he fails to be eligible under

Article II, No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President

Then you might see some action.

Intimidate Dick Cheney? What have you been smoking?

Even if he was the sort that maybe could be intimidated, he's getting up there to the age when there's not much they can *realistically* threaten him with that would really matter to him. They could threaten family members of course, but that could backfire, rather badly.

“And our generals just sit back and worry...”

Coups are usually led by colonels and sergeants. We have plenty of those.

It would be a bad idea for the military to assume this responsibility. The real responsibility for any corrective should come from Congress. They could impeach Obama for failing to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”, however since most members of Congress do not “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” nothing is likely to happen.

The Liberal news organizations are the media arm the the Liberal Democrats. The only way they will turn against a Liberal President is to support an ever more Liberal candidate.
