This is why others are talking of a coup. There will be a hot war in that case. We will not take this easily. If we allow this, then it cements itself. Will this be the "land of the free and the brave'' "brotherhood undimmed by human tears"? NOW is the time to act.

It's clearly been Republicans for many decades that have been seeking this takeover of power... not the Democrats. That is the truth. They want all the power. And they are getting it. They practically have it. WE are left to defend with a ground operation:People Power.

Why with a unitary executive couldn't a Democratic president use it? That is your ESSENTIAL difference between the parties- a deep difference in what kind of country we want.

We have been going back and forth through the decades. Now we will be STUCK if we do not prevent this, if we do not resist. We will be stuck in a Republican Party Government, a ONE party government, with people complying out of fear and to survive. Republicans, not Democrats, truth be told, are evolving us into a dictatorship. They have sought to gain power through the decades pushing the "unitary executive". This is a coup. This is a completely different government than what, dare I say, most of us have signed onto. Not of for and by the people, but of for and by the few, the so called religious right, the money interests, the haters, the conned. And it's not for just 4 years of a Republican presidency. They are already floating beyond... heady with power.
