“I have been of the opinion that there will be no more federal elections in this country for some time now. They ain’t giving up power. It’s going to have to be taken from them.”

Sorry to put you on the spot, but please explain to me as clearly and completely as your can, just how you think that Federal Elections can be suspended? Who do you think would enforce such a decision, if for purely conversational purposes, supposing it was possible to do so??

Oaths of Office are to the Constitution, not to an individual. Even the Military swears to obey the Orders of the President, not just the guy who happens to be President.

Big difference. I suggest you study your Constitution again and more closely....

The same way that the GM CEO is fired. The same way that banker's wages are regulated after-the-fact. The same way that property is stolen from GM bondholders and given to Union thugs. The same way that taxpayers are robbed to buy a bank or two. Or a car company. Or a few "clunkers".

Ths SOB communist in the White House and his enablers in the house and Senate don't give one s**t about the Constitution. They're in power now.

"They Won"

I’ll answer in two words.

Martial Law.

Once declared everything can be ‘suspended’. For the good of the Country don’t ya know.

The officers in the military do not swear to obey the CIC or any orders from him. They are sworn to uphold the Constitution.

When we have a judiciary that is working in tandem with or is complicit with a person or body who desires to override the constitution, We the People have lost our constitutional protections.

Since the beginning of this administration; and granted for decades prior, we have watched as our judiciary has allowed the constitution to be shoved aside, stretched, mangled or ignored. The USSC, our ultimate authority of law has done virtually nothing to protect the rights of the citizen or to hold an out of control legislature in check.

The takeover of private industry, Czars running roughshod over the rights of citizens, censorship, bailouts, intrusions into the private affairs of citizens and private business; and that is just a small sample. The judiciary has allowed the Feds to go miles past the limits clearly defined our founding document.

You ask how it’s possible to take over the US? Simple, have a complicit judiciary.

The American people have lost the protector of our rights leaving it to us, the citizens, to reign in both an out of control legislature and the judiciary. We the people have in many ways very little power.

As example:

We can not remove a sitting Supreme Court justice or any appointed Federal Judge.

At the state level, it’s nearly impossible to remove an appointed judge and only through elections can we remove others.

There are no provisions in the Constitution to enable the citizens to remove a sitting Senator or Congressman except through elections. We are seeing today what damage can be done until We The People have the opportunity to vote the “bums” out. We are also seeing the ramifications of a party in complete control that has allowed their members to walk freely away from corruption charge after corruption charge. We have also watched as they have tried to destroy member of the opposition party, both politically and personally with full impunity.

So I ask you, with a complicit judiciary, one political party in charge of both houses of congress - just how does the Constitution prevent a take-over of the US?
