I think you are wearing jaundiced glasses.
Take down the Internet and have troops patrolling the streets and you stop the avalanche before it starts.
That’s where their plan starts to fall apart. IMHO.
;-P
You forgot to threaten to report him to the Mods if he doesn't add you to the Nutjob Conspiracy Theory ping list. ;)
Oh, sure, invoke the Constitution and laws of the US when it serves his purpose but trash them when they don't.
ED MORRISSEY’s Hot Air post http://hotair.com/archives/2012/03/18/national-defense-resources-preparedness-executive-order-power-grab-or-update/ sounds knowledgeable but when I read the EO at whitehouse.gov it sounds evil - that other POTUS’ have addressed that issue does not really comfort me at all. No other POTUS before BHO was so unAmerican and so begged for indictment.
The President is to appoint the heads of the departments and agencies as well as the Council members. Notice how many Czars he's already named so how many of them are already in position?
Crash the economy and the sheeple will be begging to serve Hitler in any job. He's already proven how he can sweep through major corporations so bankrupt cities will be next. Then it's just a matter of setting up his minions to "help" out these bankrupt communities. It's all falling into place and no one, NO ONE, in the other two branches is doing a thing to stop him.

If other POTUS' criminally violated our law by perpetrating executive legislation (and got away with it) thatt is not a lawfully significant justification for any other POTUS to do so.
Just because someone robbed you once and got away with it does not make it their right to rob you again.
The crime is still a crime and
a crime that is not subject to any statute of limitations
that could shield the perpetrator from either temporal or eternal condemnation.
The criminal code violated by unConstitutional Executive Legislation is US Code Title 18 Chapter 63 Sections around 1346 "Frauds & Swindles" having a leg landing in Virginia so as to perpetrate VA18.2-481(5) statutory treason and VA18.2-111 statutory embezzlement.
The context for this question of criminally perpetrated 'frauds & Swindles' by EO's which are not addressed ONLY to subordinates in the executive branch
or not limited in scope to the mere detail of implementing laws explicitly authorized under our Constitution
is raised in the 1792 words of Thomas Paine:
“A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either”.
It appears that neither execute orders nor signing statements can be given or conceited to have the authority of general civil law upon the people of the United States as that is “legislation-by-executive-order" explicitly prohibited by our U.S. Constitution in Article I Section 1 “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”
'ALL' in #A1S1 means just that, 'ALL', as in EACH AND EVERY INSTANCE THAT CAN EXIST.
The Legislative authority vested in the members of Congress by the member's oath are of personal duty in nature. "Duty is not collective; it is personal.” - Calvin Coolidge
No member or aggregation of members has been vested with Constitutional authority to sell, assign or delegate their oathed personal service duties to any other person or agency.
It seems obvious to me that every instance of legislation-by-executive-order or signing-statement appears to be criminal fraud and usurpation - It is of no matter that the judges, justices, legislators and the executives are willing - they do not appear to have the authority to come to terms as that authority as is retained by the people and the states (US Constitution 10th Amendment).
It seems obvious to me that the POTUS -Commander-in-Chief has authority that allows him to make constitutionally lawful orders and constitutionally lawful standing orders upon the US military, applicable to the POTUS’s military employees only.
It seems obvious to me that the POTUS - Chief Executive has authority that allows him to make constitutionally lawful orders and constitutionally lawful standing orders upon of the POTUS’s civilian employees, applicable to the POTUS’s civilian employees only.
It seems obvious to me that the POTUS - Chief Executive has authority that allows him to make signing-statements-attached-to-legislation that have no conceit to a binding effect upon legislation.
It appears obvious to me the every executive order or signing-statements-attached-to-legislation that is an exercise of executive legislation is a grievous trespass against the Constitution and its duly authorized penal laws.
If my perception is in error, that this appearance is not fact, please show me the source of my error by reference to the U.S. Constitution and its duly authorized law.
He wants an armed civilian militia. It just depends on which side you're on.
Thank you, I will make as much noise as I can!!
One would think that some country had cdeclared war on us.
This is about the government transforming into a dictatorship. Isn’t is clear yet?
I see it as an avenue to dramatically reduce gas prices just prior to the elections for vote bartering.
Obama works to get gas at $10 a gallon nationwide but then a week before the electing he drops it by using the provisions of this bill to $1.99 a gallon trumping everyone.
And the day after he is sworn in it reverts back.
Think much larger than that.
You made an unwarranted assumption. From the fact he gets reelected, it does not necessarily follow he will be sworn into a second term
LOL I did take him off my shoot first and ask questions later list tho! Does that count?
Nuthin’ to see here...nope...just move along...
Well said Cynical.
Those people that say “All is well” no matter what is happening only serve to AID those that are doing evil.
I hope they enjoy the yoke when it is set.
