We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis that shakes the very foundations of our government.

This nation now has, at its center of power, a man who is unilaterally revising law by rewriting it. Thus, passing law unilaterally. The President is enforcing laws and suspending them arbitrarily at his sole discretion — carving out special exemptions for benefactors, and deciding essentially what is and is not law — absent the consent of the legislature or approbation of the judiciary.
In all other nations, such activities would brand someone doing likewise a dictator.

In America, we tend to think dictators always wear gauche military uniforms and sport hideous mustaches. But a finely tailored suit will do. Because it is not about the emperor’s clothes or facial hair, but rather has more to do with his actions – particularly the powers they unlawfully gather unto themselves.

Two weeks ago on Special Report with Bret Baier, Senator Rand Paul was asked by George Will, “What can be done [to solve this]?” Senator Paul responded, “I’m not sure I know the answer.”

Senator Paul is not alone. In fact, both sides of the aisle are questioning the president.

Former Democrat governor of Vermont, and staunch liberal-progressive, Howard Dean said:
“I wonder if [Obama] has the legal authority to do this, since [Obamacare] was a     congressional bill that set this up.”

  1. Brock, Congress will do nothing; nor will the SCOTUS; We seem to forget that both of them willingly and knowingly placed a person in the office of POTUS who could not hold or run for the office. They did this at the behest of the UN , knowing full well that they meant to destroy the US Military, The US Constitution and render the American people into a permanent state of impoverished slavery. The continued thinking that this is all somehow "politics " is at best wishful self delusion.

    1. The author is correct though in that the only peaceful way out is if the press got a backbone.

  2. And we sit and wait, while Obama fires our Generals and hires more jackbooted thugs with high powered rifles to further ensconce his position. It is a mistake allowing this OBVIOUS dictator another day to harden his bunker.

  3. There is one way out without violence and that is a convention of states.
    If 34 states will petition it can happen and the problems can be solved.
    Virginia and (I think TN) have already begun the process.

    1. If it went the way we would like, but it might not.
