Not a request to find the best Constitutional method? I am shocked!

obozo is your socialist/communist/marxist/muzzie collaborator hard at work doing what his masters have waited many long years to do. obozo is out of control, a rabid dog, breaking all our laws, destroying our Constitution, liberty and freedom, and he's doing it with wild abandon, with a smirk on his face and fire in his eyes...giving us the finger by pressing down harder on our necks with his jack boot.

So what do you do with rabid dogs? You stop them any way you can. We must refuse to conform..we must refuse to obey a lawless pResident. We must delay and obstruct in any way this enemy who wishes to do us harm, destroy our country and cause us to suffer.

I used to think at some point the GOP would have enough of this darker taller version of king george...

We have just about the most craven feckless gutless spineless GOP leadership I could imagine....

I am perplexed as to why he is asking permission on this when he still has his pen and phone - except that doing so means he doesn’t (have to) act.

e definitely seems to be willingly inviting a constitutional crisis. Obama and the left are all playing end game politics. Is he doing it to martyr himself for the leftist cause or to assume dictatorial control?

Imagine at the end of his term, just before the next president is inaugurated, he (a) comes clean that he wasn't eligible due to the NBC requirement, and (b) nominates himself to the Supreme Court.

I can just imagine the GOP falling over themselves to confirm him, and citing the declaration they made to deem himself and McCain as NBC-qualified as making everything a-ok.

Creative? Suspend the constitution and declare martial law. You know he wants to.

I think that's behind some of the prodding the FedGov's been doing that really looks like spoiling for a fight.
I'm of the opinion that there will be a false-flag event soon, probably 'terrorists'.

Looking for someone to blame if things go wrong would be my guess.

If our side loses it, they can justify using violence against us.

According to this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3174653/posts he's already considering executive action to overcome the Supreme Court decision on Hobby Lobby.

I wonder if even subsuming the powers of the Supreme Court would be enough to compel Congress to pass Articles of Impeachment. Hmmm...probably not.
