Thanks you for the additional info.
Now, what if a president declares "Martial Law"? Does that, even temporarily, suspend the right of Congress to act? or the Supreme Court?

Martial Law does not suspend Congress' right to act, or the Supreme Court powers. But there will be some lag time where the country will be under martial law and the Governors, and their assets will have to react. Remember, the Governors of most states have significant assets in Guard and Reserve forces that are under their control. This is one of the reasons Texas is so problematic for the President and his plans.

It's sad to say, but these days the Congress is basically under the control of the corporate lobbyists. They are, of course, subject to party politics, as you point out. But if the Congress is forced to choose between their own party president and their corporate benefactors, they have shown that they will go with their corporate benefactors every time. So the truth is, that any president at this time in history, has more to fear from wealthy corporations and their lobbyists than from Congress or the judiciary.

Yeah, that'll stop him.
As long as that exec order does not take money...for that he needs the congressional nod, no nod no funding.
The republicans pushed a candidate which was just as much of a liberal as Obama...the Republican party has lost it's way and better realize there is more at stake than getting elected in 2014, in fact I would say if they do not fight this fight they will lose even bigger numbers...
republicans picked the wrong candidates to push forward.
Had they promoted some of their more progressive candidates it would have been a closer race.

I may have mentioned this in another post somewhere (getting gray and can't remember :ha
but a friend of ours in Texas called not too long ago and said that Californians are flocking to Texas much the way they did to Colorado many years ago. He's all for building that wall you've mentioned!To answer your question, I don't think it would be feasible for many to secede. This economy has a lot of people backed into a corner. Also, I think of the people who gave their lives for these United States and I believe it would honor them best by trying everything possible to reach some agreement and resolve to vote more responsibly in the future if we're dissatisfied with what we currently have.
Gee! Do you think this might tie into Obama's demand for total Executive control over the debt ceiling?
You mean like the Puritans who left England?
Or were you referring to the Founding Fathers who took their ball and broke away from the king?
Or perhaps the Confederate States?

that's the problem with stupid pills,
if you're too stupid to take them it negates the point.
(not that I agree Granite is estupido)

And aren't you lucky that Puritan Christians did so for it has given you the right to speak your mind here. If you don't understand the concept of "live free or die", why do you bear the motto?

What?! Is the population around you looking a little too south of the border lately?
Puritans didn't, and they were intolerant prigs who detested the concept of "live free or die." Get your history straight.
Opps, looks like Granite's back on his stupid pills :chuckle:
It's looking a little confused at the moment.
