AMEN

Meanwhile, we wait for those legislators to exercise their authority to impeach.

They don't have the spine.

I think George III had less dictatorial power then the current POTUS.

You took the words out from my keyboard.

I’d bet on it. He won’t stop until someone stops him —like a hot knife through Jell-o.

You are right, but there are possible unintended consequences.

Here is a little story I wrote a few months back. I'm thinking about expanding it.

I've posted this many times before but what if somebody is denied healthcare under Bammycare? People naturally have spouses, children, siblings, friends, parents, grandparents, etc. depending on the age of the one denied. I would hate to be a member of a death panel making such a decision to deny. I'd stay out of dark allies, look under my car before starting it, keep my eyes out for shadows, and jump at every noise I hear at night. Is that noise I hear at 2:30 AM the neighbor's cat or is it Grandpa Jones' grandson, which I denied care to his granddad, with a posse of his friends armed with baseball bats and a shotgun? How about blocking the road in front of me, an old lady in a 1967 Caddy. Did she break down or is she the wife of the man who I denied a hip replacement to, waiting for me where as I step out of my car to help, the last thing I hear is a .45 going off just before St. Peter appears. It's 10 PM, my kid is late in coming home and the phone rings. How about this, what if I denied care to a Tony Soprano?

I know under the insurance companies, there are cases of denial but in a lot of cases, you can get the doctor and hospital to get them to reverse their decision or just go ahead and let the family pay for it and/or go on a charity case. Not so with the government, if you are denied, there is very little redress at all. Ayn Rand put in in a long monologue where it boils down to this, "the more laws you create, the more criminals you make" and when you eliminate the process and route where one can make a challenge to make things right legally, that leaves only one other way, revenge and/or at least forced coercion via illegal means. This is a pandora's box to be sure, people will do anything for their loved ones and for survival.

I remember Quark's quote from DS9 (Star Trek) about us humans, "Let me tell you something about humans, nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people will become as nasty and as violent as the most blood-thirsty Klingon."

I don't feel comfortable in visioning this scenario, but if we keep going on the present track, it will happen.

These sorts in the WH, and the vicinity of the WH with permission of “the Won” of course all have a ruling, elitist attitude. They don’t recognize the substance of a Republic, because they don’t understand anything that comprises a Republic.

Yeah, they have contingency plans that are illegal as “H”.

They will shove them down our throats until we shove them up their wazzoos.

“How long did it take him to get around the SC decision about AZ? About 5 minutes? He will get around a decision striking down the mandate.”

You can say a not-normal person will act abnormally. Rather than accept defeat with Arizona, he ordered ICE not to accpet Arizona’s calls.

If the mandate falls, he’ll just write an EO disbanding the Supreme Court and all it’s decisions since he took office. Then you pay the mandate or go to jail until you see the error of your ways.

Instead of his middle name being Hussein, it’s probably Hitler.

No one is going to stop him.

I’ve thought about this outcome ever since it was sent to the Supremes. Correct me if I’m wrong, but on Day One Pres Romney can rescind any EO that pres kardashian has put through, can’t he?

[tsowellfan]

If so, then it’s just an addition to the dusty tall stack of papers in John Boehner’s lap. And if the trend continues... that’s where it will stay.

[tsowellfan]

In case you haven’t been paying attention, barry is already decreeing everything.

Right from the beginning since refusing to prove his own eligibility. Give these people an inch they'll take a mile.

Trump was right.

READ THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE - WHO DOES THIS SOUND LIKE?

* He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

* He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

* He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

* He {intends to keep} among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.

* He {intends to render} the military independent of and superior to civil power.

* He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws...

* For depriving us in many {future} cases, of the benefits of trial by jury...

* He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless ... savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

* In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
