How’s about both?
Interesting discussion at Citizen Wells about the fact that when Congressmen are disabled by illness, as is Sen. Byrd (age 92 I think) presently, and Ted Kennedy not so long ago, why should they be allowed to continue to vote on various issues. How do we know they are competent to make decisions and “phone it in”. Or who is holding their hand to paper to sign letters indicating how they may wish to vote. Or what is their medication doing to their normal thought processes, etc. And just because they may be on record as to their wishes in regard to a certain vote, who is to know whether they may have had a change of heart.
It's an exercise in faux constitutionality, and if it flies he can ignore the constitution entirely. How long will it take before Obama decides he doesn't need the political cover of a legislative body at all? Or for that matter, a SCOTUS?
I've been thinking of awful scenarios in which the SCOTUS declares a law unconstitutional and Obama, with the blessing of a Dem Congress, simply implements the law regardless of the Supreme's ruling. What happens then? The SCOTUS has no troops. Implementing court decisions is the burden of law enforcement, but what if they simply refuse?

Works for me... this would be the final straw and the start of an armed revolution. I figure we’d take the nation back quicker then we grabbed Baghdad and I’d still have a few thousand rounds left !!
AR-15s and "Serious Social Purposes" shotguns, along with those Zillion candlepower flashlights?
Actually "only" 85,000 candlepower for this one. :)
This one is similar to mine, but it's all Stag Arms, whereas mine only has a Stag Arms stripped lower.
RECTUM: Government

Works for me, as long as it ends with his personal destruction.
Let ‘em do whatever they please.
Maybe the joint chiefs will roll the tanks onto the mall and restore our constitution.
/wishful thinking
No.
Emanuel said that great progress has been made.
I am afraid the Parliamentarian may be giving the green light on a simple majority.
They called the ‘storm troopers’ on us. Here’s the updates...this is NOT the first round of cut and gut we’ve had to do.

TennCare Cuts Under Way Now

Call it coincidence or bad timing, but many physicians in Tennessee began taking a 14 percent cut for seeing TennCare patients on the same day Gov. Phil Bredesen announced deep cuts in health care spending.

My, although admittedly limited, understanding is that Honduras encourages private gun ownership.
None of the European or ex-European countries like AUS get it. They are just to used to being pushed around by GOV.
My guess is that the general and admiral level of officers (the butt-wipers, if you will) may support the government but I think that the other officers--and enlisted pesonnel--will remember their oath.
pesonnel = personnel
Hopefully for them, they flee to a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S. .
I may take you up on that.
