Suspending the constitution?
Isn't like like a coupd'etat?
Like they do in questionable regimes around the world?

That's worse than scary in my opinion.
Elected officials are the employees of the citizens.....they maybe need a reminder.

Now couple what the NC governor said with this from obama

source

"The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written," Obama said at the National Council of La Raza's annual conference.


So, obama said back then it's not how the constitution works, but with all his current troubles and tough election fight, who knows how obama feels about the temptation now.

A worrisome pattern seems to be developing ...

Then there's the other issue that the NC Governor's plan would keep in place the people that have already proven they can't get anything done.

That's the part that makes me wonder about the coup angle, since that would serve the function of saving a bunch of democrat seats in the house and senate.

Well at least President Obama knows what the constitution is. More than can be said of the Leader of his opposition

No, that only and exactly means he said he knew what it meant back when he made that speech. It doesn't say what he knows now or intends to do - now that so much has changed from back in obama's "glory days".

This will be a shock to you, but obama also has quite a track record of saying/promising one thing and then either not delivering on his promises or doing something else entirely. So, hard to tell - no real evidence has been provided - if obama really believes in the constitution, or not.

*Sigh*
Then replace democracy with representative republic.

Same thing applies. They are trying to circumvent the form of government that we currently have.



I keep going back to that idea that we are a Democratic Republic, not a full on Democracy.



The USA is a Constitutional Republic. Get an education.

Such hostility from a bringer of corrections.

It exposes what Democrats really are underneath their facade.

Essentially, they hate freedom that doesn't have them at the top in full control.
