Even lefties are becoming afraid of Adolf Jr.
Indeed.
Only the Reichstag fire is missing from this scenario. Then Armageddon!
This:
“What also alarms me, however, is that the two other branches appear not just simply passive, but inert in the face of this concentration of authority, Turley said.”
I think we were both struck by the same thing! LOL
It will be time to scale it back when a conservative gets elected and wants to use it to scale back government
In fact, here's a Supreme Court license for voters to simply apply their reading skills to interpret the Constitution.
"3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition." --United States v. Sprague, 1931.
STOP HIM NOW!!!!!
They’re
Up against the media which dictates public opinion as well as their own temptations toward comfort, sloth.and wealth (bribery), and they don’t know their jobs. They are unacquainted with the constitution they are sworn to defend. They’d rather go on night talk shows, imus and the Sunday shows, schmooze and then spend their efforts attacking anyone of their own (Cruz) who dare do their jobs
They are enablers
The Framers knew exactly what would happen if the states left the senate. The wonder is that it has taken so long for an Obama to appear.
Blackmail works well with SCOTUS and the congress has no backbone.
Not only won't they stand up against King Obama to protect their own Constitutional powers.
They stand idly by while he demonizes and threatens innocent citizens who do not support him.
Then they quietly watch as he misuses the oppressive power of our own government to discriminate against us and punish us for ebing patriotic and believing in the law and the constitution..
James Madison lived for more than 40 years after the Constitution was ratified. You'd think that sometime during those years he would have taken the trouble to point out to people how obtuse they were in their reading of the Constitution.
And our system is changing in a very fundamental way. And its changing without a whimper of regret or opposition.
Mr Turley said a mouthful with this statement.
It is exactly why I have been railing against the members of Congress and their DERELICTION OF DUTY. They have done NOTHING AT ALL to honor the Oath of Office that requires them to “PRESERVE and PROTECT the Constitution of the United States.
As a result, I do not see where a vast majority of Congress deserves anything short of being run out of office and forever held in complete disdain and contempt.
The Founding Father were already shooting at this point.
Good point.

You and at least 50,000,000 other American citizen's.
I think it is time for possible Republican presidential candidates to list out their executive orders and lists of laws they will disregard. I would start with BATF stamping approve on all requests sent in and no more audits. Leaving the office will no longer be required. Then, recommend that ICE and IRS pair up and audit every single illegal that is caught.
