At what point does Repub obstructionism and witch hunting become a Constitutional Crisis? nm

[The Magistrate]

1. About Seventeen Years Ago, Sir....

It has broken out in virulent form once again about three years ago.

The fact is, our Constitution sets up a system which can readily be rendered utterly ungovernable by a determined clique resolved to ignore the general welfare and insulated from direct consequences for their destructive actions.

13. There certainly isnt a Constitutional remedy. nm

[Politicalboi]

2. There should be a time limit

Especially when they have NO evidence like here. Unless they can find some "real" crimes within a 90 day period, it should be OVER. Or they should make another branch that does just this. Investigate leaks, and stories for crimes, without holding up progress in congress. This is what they are doing. It will make Obama look like a do nothing President. We need to get rid of as many GOP members in 2014. Make the last 2 years of Obama a socialist dream. Then Hillary will have a much better chance in 2016.

3. depends on which obstructionism is allowed by harry reid and senate democrats (fillibuster) nt

4. Yes, maybe the Constitutional Crisis is between citizens and the Democrats that dont

represent them.

5. Crisis?

2008 was the beginning of the end.


Welcome to the world of never ending economic bubbles. Only a select few know when the bubbles will pop. An even smaller group hold the pins to pop those bubbles at their leisure.

We are due for one crisis after another. We will blame government for it and privatize everything.


All part of the plan.

[rhett o rick]

6. So if you are so smart, when will the current bubble burst?

I predict late 2015. And the banks will ask for another bail out. Welcome the next Republican president.

[mick063]

7. My prediction for the next pop would be gold

It will especially anger the doomsday preppers that have invested in the post apocalyptic currency. All the while, encouraged by their manipulative "leaders" that it is the final safe haven for their wealth.


The "conservatives" blame the government for the housing bubble burst of 2008, not the Robber Barons on Wall Street. It will predictably play out the same way with gold. When I say predictably, I mean to say this is the well conceived plan by the money brokers. Gold will really rile the targeted pinheads up. The two former safe havens for wealth, your home and your gold will have been utterly destroyed in successive "campaigns". The anger will come to a head and the anger will be expertly directed by the manipulators.

The financial services industry and the corporatists are playing their pinhead followers like a fiddle. This may be enough to cause open hatred for everything government. Complete faith will be placed in the corporatists.

Welcome to ultimate privatization.

9. Interesting and maybe gold is due for a "pop", but the middle class still has a hell of a lot in the

stock market, either personally or thru their retirement packages.

8. I would say back during the Sequester

or are we still under doubleplusbad times with the GOP? Hard to tell what crazy shit they are going to try next.

[rhett o rick]

10. The way I see it the terrorists have our families and are killing them slowly.

Their demand is control of our government. How long do we let this go on before we decide to storm the palace?

You cant negotiate with terrorists or republicans.

[Bucky]

11. The abuse of the filibuster was the start of one crisis. But there are many crises.

[rhett o rick]

12. I may be stretching the definition a little but when one party tries to derail

the country to gain power is a Constitutional Crisis.

And I said one party when it really isnt one party that's causing the crisis. The other party, the Democrats cant fight back because The Elite 1% own enough Democrats to control the Congress.

Our two party system has changed from Republicans and Democrats to Progressive and Conservatives. The vote in the Senate regarding enhanced background checks for gun buyers showed the split. The progressives didnt have the 60 votes to carry the legislation. THe filibuster is a rule that is championed by the conservatives AND THAT INCLUDES SOME DEMOCRATS.

[KoKo]

14. Would have thought BY NOW...but, Who will Bring the Charges?

[rhett o rick]

15. Good point KoKo. I guess when our government just stops functioning, it isnt technically

a Constitutional crisis.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. 33 years ago.

[rhett o rick]

17. That may have been the beginning but the line must be drawn. nm
