“Pivotal?
More like, cataclysmic.”

What I meant by that is at this point either we (the people) reverse the tide right now, or we free fall into the abyss of dictatorial third world status.

You're word, however, is better and more poignant.

You are right, but there are possible unintended consequences.

An increase in amateur, DIY gunsmithing (from observing metalsmiths in action,it is not that difficult);a subsequent increase in interest in reloading. For those lacking ability or proper spaces, they simply become customers of private smiths/reloaders.

I have noticed that in the UK, people who are sentenced to death by NHS policy on drugs or treatment, can and do sue and can and do win. The same would happen here, if enough people are told FOAD. Those with income or assets would go the medical tourism route. The folks w/o assets would still have access through state provided coverage.

I have wondered how many small town/rural retired MDs would open private clinics.

I do not think that once the results of either policy become manifest, people would sit idly by and allow themselves to be disenfranchised or face death. It isn’t human nature.

We should “respect” 0bama’s executive orders as much as 0bama “respects” the Constitution.

I suspect he knew about the AZ decision hours after it was decided too.

Congress has the power to vote down an executive order. They have, I believe six weeks to do so before the eo takes effect.
I do not know just how the process works, I hope to God it doesn’t require Senate approval. Although perhaps enough Democrats would have the courage to join the Republicans in repudiating such a move to save their own skins.
We need to demand Boehner call a vote on such an eo, and demand the Dems. join us in reigning this despot in, now. We need to make lots of noise.

Why not? Who is going to stop him? Who has even protested ANY of his Executive Orders besides us? Not the Senate. Not the House. Not the Supreme Court. Not the RNC. Nobody.

THIS is one of the reasons I often think we are screwed as a country. The rule of law is now officially being disregarded, with no consequences.

So, I say again: Why wouldn’t he?

“Personally I think he has known since April that he lost the case with the SC.

He has had since then to come up with a way to get around the decision with EO’s.”

I fear you are correct.

Let’s hope some pubbie with b@11$ starts drawing up articles of impeachment. He constantly subverts and ignores the constitution, fails to enforce illegal immigration laws, fast & furious, solyndra, his bypassing congress to appoint numerous czars, etc.

I kind of hope he does. It may finally force the American people and Congress to do something about this despot.

What is scary is probably at least 30 percent or more of Americans would approve of Obama doing something like this.

Selectively defending only some laws, blocking Congressional investigations into corruption (sounds like Chicago), assassinating American citizens without due process, we have a renegade in the Oval Office.

Invoke the articles of impeachment against him and he’ll have no chance in November.

some pubbie with b@11$

I wonder if that animal isn't already extinct. Hussein has already done more than enough by way of executive orders and unilateral rule to be called on the carpet and all I've seen from Congress is a lot of sound and fury, if that, signifying nothing. What I don't understand is, why? Why are they letting him get away with African-style tribal "big man" rule? Do they not care as long as they're getting theirs, are enough of them being threatened somehow, what? Because I don't see where one of them has really given a d*mn about what this tyrant is doing. I can't imagine any previous president getting away with half of the things he's done and said. What's this all about?

I don't think a lot of them even know what he's really doing, they don't look any deeper than the surface of "he's not a Republican" or "he's being picked on because he's black" and have absolutely no knowledge of what's really happening in this supposed nation of laws. They don't have room in their brains to understand the things which are happening to this nation and keep up with "Trashy Housewives of Podunk". But it sure does make them feel engaged and informed to parrot all the slogans calling for "freedom for queers", etc.

If the left does declare war to stop secession, then that too will invite invasion.

If you’re a Christian, stop sinning, and live a clean life before the Lord. This will solve the problem at it’s root.

It looks like Billy Beck was amazingly prescient when he wrote “All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war.”

“What can be done to reverse and stop his decrees/presidential executive orders?”

The next President or impeachment.
