Where Are We Headed In The United States?

Constitutional Crisis–A constitutional crisis is a situation that the legal system’s constitution or other basic principles of operation appear unable to resolve; it often results in a breakdown in the orderly operation of government. Often, generally speaking, a constitutional crisis is a situation in which separate factions within a government disagree about the extent to which each of these factions hold sovereignty. Most commonly, constitutional crises involve some degree of conflict between different branches of government (e.g., executive, legislature, and/or judiciary), or between different levels of government in a federal system (e.g., state and federal governments).

A constitutional crisis may occur because one or more parties to the dispute willfully chooses to violate a provision of a constitution or an unwritten constitutional convention, or it may occur when the disputants disagree over the interpretation of such a provision or convention. If the dispute arises because some aspect of the constitution is ambiguous or unclear, the ultimate resolution of the crisis often establishes a precedent for the future. For instance, the United States constitution is silent on the question of whether states are allowed to secede from the Union; however, after the secession of several states was forcibly prevented in the American Civil War, it has become generally accepted that states cannot leave the Union.  A constitutional crisis is distinct from a rebellion, which is defined as when factions outside of a government challenge that government’s sovereignty, as in a coup or revolution led by the military or civilian protesters. A constitutional crisis can lead to government paralysis, collapse, or civil war. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Constitutional_crisis

If you go by the way the dictionary defines a Constitution Crisis, it would appear that we are already in one, or facing the potential of suffering a major Crisis, that could lead to the destruction of the United States itself.

I have a question that has been bothering me for sometime, that is “What would happen if we have a sitting President that suspended elections, or refused to step down if he lost an election?”

Barack Obama has shown us that he does not believe that he has to obey laws that he does not agree with. If he lost the election, and refused to step down, who would remove him from office? Eric Holder? He was appointed by Barack Obama and has shown the same disdain for the law that Mr. Obama has. I don’t think that we could count on him, do you?

What about Congress? We know that Republicans would, but what about the Democrats? Would they choose to go by the Constitution? Or would they decide that this was a way for them to continue to put into place the policies that they think are best for this country? And even if all of them agreed,  how would they go about it? Would there be a way for them to take charge of the Military? Who would the Military answer to? Would they even attempt to remove a man from office who was their Commander In Chief? Would they operate inside the United States border in violation of the Constitution themselves?

What about the Secret Service? Would they choose the President that is their current responsibility or would they consider that they were obligated to enforce the Constitution?

Then you have the FBI! Barack Obama is asking Congress to extend the director, Mr. Mueller’s term, for an additional two years. That is quite a request, would that put him beholden to Barack Obama. Not that I am implying that he would consider himself to be beholden, but don’t we have to consider that?

What about Homeland Security?  The head of Homeland Security is Janet Napolitano, under her we have seen Homeland Security erode our Constitutional rights, and she seems to believe that Government should be able to stop anyone and search them or their possessions without a warrant. They are beginning to do so on American streets even now. Plus they are setting up checkpoints at train stations and bus stations. Why? Is this to secure the safety of the American people or to control our means of transportation? Do we truly believe that Janet Napolitano would try a remove a President that appointed her and that she obviously agrees with on every issue. She is also in charge of FEMA and the possibilites of using it against the citizens of the country are massive. If someone were to attempt to remove Barack Obama from office, it would take only moments to declare a national emergency. And we now have a way for them to get their message out, whether news outlets decided to air them or not. They will simply send the message directly over your cell phone. 

Radar Magazine reports that: Under law, during a national emergency, FEMA and its parent organization, the Department of Homeland Security, would be empowered to seize private and public property, all forms of transport, and all food supplies. The agency could dispatch military commanders to run state and local governments, and it could order the arrest of citizens without a warrant, holding them without trial for as long as the acting government deems necessary. From the comfortable perspective of peaceful times, such behavior by the government may seem farfetched. But it was not so very long ago that FDR ordered 120,000 Japanese-Americans—everyone from infants to the elderly—be held in detention camps for the duration of World War II.

So where would that leave us? Would we have a complete breakdown of the rule of law? Would FEMA decide that they have the authority to start to imprison people that wanted to remove the President from office? Who side would the rest of the World come down on? Would the UN decide that they would get involved and settle our disputes like they are doing in other countries at this moment?

This may seem to you to be crazy talk, but I have to ask “If you have someone who has already shown that they do not feel that the law applies to them, what makes you think that they will feel that they have to obey it?” Barack Obama has already proven to us that he thinks that he is above the law, do you truly believe that if he wants to retain power, that he would stop when he has the ability to seize even further power?

The next question has to be what would we be able to do to stop him?

White House bans cameras at daily news briefing

ncreasingly the White House is distancing itself from news reporters, withholding vital information from the press and the public, and essentially dictating to the media when and where they are allowed to video or take pictures of the President.

In what was supposed to be ‘the most transparent Administration in history,’ the Obama Administration has increasingly miffed reporters, leaving them totally in the dark concerning the decision-making process, with former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs declaring curtly, ‘Some things should not be done in publc view,’ meaning of course that this White House and this President have become perhaps the most closed and hidden Administration in history.
