Requires a constitutional amendment. I can see the possibility, but it's a long shot.
2. Abolish the electoral college. No red state rednecks tellin the big cities how things are gonna be.BTW this WILL solidify Blue State rule.
Requires a constitutional amendment. Small states will not let this happen. No way.
3. Pack the Supreme Court, just like FDR did to get HIS change. 3 more justices ought to do it, FWIW, they’ll all make Maxine Waters look like John Birch. Prolly one of them be Hillarhea!! BTW...they’ll spend the next four years disarming us one by one.
Not going to happen. To obvious a power grab. What will happen is that two of the sitting justices will announce their retirement almost the day he's inaugurated. The balance of the court will remain the same.
4. Fairness Doctrine. Outlaw Dissent. The only point of view you need is the Bamaview. BTW, without the 2nd or 4rth Ammendments, there’s no 1st.
Could be done, but highly doubtful. I think the Repubs would find their backbone once again, like they did the first two years of Clinton. With 20 million Rush listener as the direct targets of this policy, I don't think they can pull it off.
You seem to attribute much more power to the office of president than what it has. May people’s fears of Obama here on FR seem to be based on the same flawed premises.
He will not be a dictator. He may want to be, and he's certainly making promises like he will be, but that's just not the case.
“Full statehood for D.C. could be achieved by an act of Congress by exercising the powers granted by Article Four, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution.”

A packed liberal court would facilitate the rest....WHY WOULD'NT Obama and a Democratic Congress make a power grab? Isn't that what all this is about? Democrats recognize elections as a barroom brawl. Most Pubbies still think of politics as a tiff over the rules down at the country club. They’ed rather have a “principled” gentleman's quarrel over “who's more Conservative” than a furniture breaking broken bottle knock down dragout over the POWER.
