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

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

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.

[FreedBird]

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

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

[Sirius Lee]

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.

Marcus Brutus, please pick up the white courtesy phone. Marcus Brutus, the white courtesy phone, please.

[bgill]

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

[afraidfortherepublic]

Well, I think the Executive doesn’t count, and I’d like to see him not counting right to jail! s/off

Zer0 will take as much power as we (the people, Congress) allow him to take.

“Dangerously Close”

Hey Judge baby, you are 20 years too freakin late with your warning.

It was guys like you and Rush, and Glenn, and etc, etc, who Pooh Poohed guys like me even as recently as the late ‘90s.

How many times I was told to go put on my tin foil hat and to watch out for black helicopters. Now, all of a sudden, when the jaws have closed around us, now you see the light.

Yes dumbos, there REALLY WAS A CONSPIRACY, AND IT REALLY IS COMING TO A HEAD.

Sorry, I do not believe that we will have elections this year. There is a “crisis” (pick your flavor) brewing in the background that will explode this summer and a state of emergency will be declared.

Oh Well, time to go buy more canned fruit and veggies while my ‘foldin’ money still works....

“I firmly believe that race riots are on the way,” Beck said.
“They are being encouraged … [the Obama administration] will take this country down.
If it looks like they are losing, the uber left, they will take it down.
If I can’t have it, no one will.”

I hope every Freeper is emailing this video to their friends and posting it on Facebook.

If we go back to the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798, the states have the power to nullify and interpose on unconstitutional acts or actions of the three branches of the federal government.
The states formed a compact(constitution) that formed the federal government and as parties to the compact, they have the power to nullify what is not made “in pursuance thereof”.

The state legislatures need to do this and it is up to each of the citizens in each state to educate our state legislators of the states power to do this.
Our country’s history has many examples of state nullification ie. Kelo v New London, Obamacare, gun laws, alien and sedition acts, etc.
The people at the grass root levels need to take this power back and enforce it at the state levels. It’s a fact that the Republican establishment is not going to do anything and we the people need to say “to hell with you” and take charge of our own destiny.

Let's assume that the Court throws out Obamacare as unconstitutional! What does that really mean to Obama, I respectfully suggest it means nothing, all of the ongoing regulations, expendatures, and planning will in-fact continue unabated right through election time, the states that side with Obama will continue to prepare and receive government largess, the state who are a party to the action will debate whether they may simply withdraw there plans and ignore Obama’s mandates. The only thing that can kill Obamacare is his defeat at the ballot box.
