Throughout his political career, Obama has consistently declared his view that the Constitution's purposeful restraint of government power is obsolete. ...the White House, he and his faction have signaled their intent to circumvent, undermine or simply set aside the authority of the U.S. Constitution. Both here and in postings on my blog I have repeatedly had occasion to remark upon the design for despotism that has been evident in their actions.
Now "eight Republican senators … are warning that the Obama administration is drafting a plan to 'unilaterally' issue blanket amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants as it struggles to win support in Congress for an overhaul of immigration laws." This represents the decisive step beyond derelict law enforcement. Not content merely to ignore the laws the legislature has properly and constitutionally made, Obama signals the intention to undertake unilateral executive action that alters the clear terms and intention of the established laws, entirely without the constitutionally determined consent of the people. This will be a blatant and presumptuous usurpation of legislative power. This is not just dereliction, it is lawless tyranny. It is outright dictatorship.
Constitutionally exercised, the executive power represents the force of law. Once divorced, however, from constitutional provisions for ascertaining the consent of the people, it asserts instead the law of force, the unjust rule that might makes right. In effect, just laws fall silent, and all that speaks are the government's instruments of force and intimidation, imposing rules that have no more warrant of lawfulness than the command of a terrorist over those he holds, by threat of violence, hostage to his will. The forces under the authority of the presidency become in that case a weapon, loaded and cocked, held to the head of the American people.

You mean something like this, http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/AlanKeyesSuit.pdf ???
Amen to that. Keyes is a good man, cursed with a clear, unobstructed view of exactly what lies ahead.
bump!
No.
Even if Obama completely destroyed this nation economically, he could still count on the support of a sizeable percentage of voters.
I know - I work with two of them. The lengths they will go to to justify this tyrant’s actions are breathtaking.
Like most American Jews, these people will vote democratic no matter what.
Do you think there might be some opposition to that?
Yeah, so was Castro.
If 0bozo gives amnesty to 30-40 million illegals it may not be so peaceful.
Are you being sarcastic? Do you not know that Alan has pursued a lawsut to the Supreme Court over the eligibility question?

“will the troops obey his orders????”
I asked my son the Marine this very question, and his response was pretty reassuring.
The troops swear an oath to the Constitution, not whomever happens to be in the White House at the moment. It’s also illegal for them to follow illegal orders. Even if they come directly from Skippy himself.
And after this latest change of command in Afghanistan, Skippy is even less popular with our armed forces than before. If that’s even possible.
I’m sure of it, however, I was just relating to the facicous comment about a dictator being a “one termer”. But, when you think about it, I guess a dictator is a “one termer”...a very, long, lifetime, term.
Why just 8? Every single one of them need to be warning their people. Again, why 8
I’m starting to beleive we are seeing only token resistence and only for public consumption to appease conservatives.
Bitch and moan...and do nothing at all.
Castro is a one termer.
We were talking about that last night at home.
Well....Let's look what is happening to LTC Lakin. In his case, the afterbirthers are arguing that Obama is the "defacto" president and therefore must be obeyed. ( What hog's slop reasoning!)
Which each passing day, the hopes for a take-back of D.C. grow dimmer.
Yep...I agree. All dictators are “one termers” in that sense...one long, lifetime, term.
