Judge Napolitano: 'The President Is Dangerously Close to Totalitarianism'

"There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh - get first all the people's money, then their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever. It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings. I know it. But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government. It sometimes
relieves them from aristocratic domination. They had rather have one tyrant than 500. It gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like.
I am apprehensive - therefore - perhaps too apprehensive - that the government of these States may in future times end in a monarchy [not called a monarchy but an executive with monarchial powers]. But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed, if in our proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention, faction and tumult, by making our posts of honor places of profit. If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a number and not a single person, the number will in time be set aside, it will only nourish the fetus of a king (as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it), and a king will the sooner be set over us."

-- Benjamin Franklin

The U.S. military probably has a solution to that.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Well if he keeps doing it and Congress does naught, then it’s time for the military to move in and remove him by force, take action on their sworn duty to protect and defend the constitution. (Oh maaaaaaan, would love to see that happen. Perp walk the Noob)

Says power-mad Obama harbors 'extreme view' on role of the Supreme Court and Constitution...

Well, FDR tried to "stack" the Supreme Court.

Just caught a bit of WHY Judge Smith asked for the homework assignment last week. It really had to do with mandate against drilling in the gulf that the judge had overruled and that BO had ignored and reissued days after the judge’s ruling.

Do any of you have the details. Judge Nap would help spread the word about BO’s ignoring or ignorance of the law. Would like to bring it to his (and others) attention.

Amen~

I highly doubt it.

Obami and his liberal dogs in the media, will manipulate the public and put them in another trance in election season.

Oh Great Heavens I certainly hope so.

I don’t think we have any real leaders in the military any more...

I would say rather that America is “dangerously close” to it. There is no danger in this for Obama at all.

And many in the GOPe handed him that power. Remember this next time you harebrains in D.C. have some brainfarted idea to cede even more power to the Executive in the name of "national security".

Shrink, shrink, shrink the size and scope of the federal government. Ryan's plan doesn't go far enough.

Sow the wind
Reap the whirlwind.

There are lots of reasons to expect a highly visible and long lasting backlash.

Agents prococateur have already instigated the communist revolution, and the counter revolution for the republic’s freedom is prepared.

Unfortunately there will be a very high cost: the welfare state will vanish, and the fiat economy will evaporate.

Omullah desires that outcome. So do all so called progressives. What they fail to grasp is that the chaos they create cannot be controlled. The criminal US government actions will be halted by force. Internal or external force will stop the merchants of evil, that is the lesson of history.

Contress and SCOTUS let him get this far. In fact, they encouraged this.
