It is absolutely 100% is a trial balloon. We have now confirmed what many of us suspected.

As to suspending elections, it cannot be done. There is no provision in the Constitution for such a thing. Those that hold the offices have no power to lengthen their terms other than by winning the constitutionally proscribed election for their office. Their offices are created by the Constitution, and attempting to override that document negates their claim to any authority. At that point it becomes a coup.

Should they do so, at the last day of their term the office becomes VACANT, and their title ceases to exist. Any govt functioning after that would be illegal and have the status of a foreign invading power, able to be terminated with extreme prejudice and without trial.

RAT bastard socialist demoRATs, liberals, unions, the 98% blacks who voted for 0dumb0.... all of these groups ALWAYS seem to love the idea of socialist tyranny & totalitarian rule. They have yet to identify any blood thirsty socialist ruler, past, present or future, that they do not love. Can’t we just get rid of all these socialist demoRAT imbeciles? Ship ‘em to their peoples paradises of Cuba, North Korea & Venezuala, and NEVER let them come back into the USA for even a visit.

“There is no provision in the Constitution for such a thing.”

In their “Living Constitution” they can do whatever they want! What’s not to like?

Sure thing, except there is that little matter of the Constitution. She’ll need to get an Amendment passed first.

Shirley, you jest! And yes I'm calling you Shirley.

Since when does a RAT bastard socialist demoRAT, liberal, commie pig (like 0dumb0, or in this case Perdue), need the Constitution to commit any of their treasonous actions. To demoRATs, it is nothing more than an outdated, piece of nuisence. DemoRATs will move with or without laws, legislature or constitutions. They are evil creatures straight from the pit of Hell.

Amendment, shmendment. The RATS subscribe to the Paul Begala approach to American government: "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool."

I'm not so sure she might not be on to something. Suspend all congressional elections and let everyones term expire. Maybe we would be better off without any congress for awhile.

Then maybe the good people of NC can get the reasonable laws passed that this piece of Marxist scum vetoed, including voter I.D.

Well, it would be in Honduras, but not in NC. She can say that they should bring slavery back and it wouldn’t be the same.
