    his entire second term will be executive orders to replace what he can't get Congress to pass (gun control, amnesty, carbon tax, card check)

    rule by decree

    yep

    he's proven he cannot work across the aisle, so this is what he'll try. Fortunately decrees can be reversed once he's gone

    This seems more like the process you take while creating pointless threads.

    If they are Unconstitutional, then there is a procedure to also declare it so, so there's nothing to worry about it. It seems you're putting the cart before the horse and might need to wait to find out what the executive order says before evaluating it.

    I'm fine with people keeping whatever guns they'd like, as long as they are part of a well-regulated militia.

    Though I assume a well-regulated militia will have certain restrictions on the weapons they use and what they can use them for. It will also require regular service.

    Didn't even say what he is going to pass. Perhaps it's a longer waiting period on rifles. I have nothing against gun ownership but the 3 minute background check for a rifle is pretty ridiculous.

    Yes there is a process. There would still be something to worry about as the process doesn't always get it right. The difference between Obama and I, is I don't advocate going around the process because I fear the result.

    IF the founding fathers had meant the amendment to be interpreted so, then they would of executed it this way. They didn't.

    Except that you do, by sounding an alarm over the use of executive order, which is one of the processes allowed in our system. The difference between you and Obama is simply that you like different processes.

    He can order it all he wants. I am arguing the supreme court should shoot it down as unconstitutional. I have not advocated going around the process at all. 'by sounding an alarm' I have gone around the process.... haha

    Not really. You were b****ing about him doing it:

    Even if that was true then why don't the Dems just bring forth a motion to change it? That's the way the ****ing system works. We don't live by edicts and decrees. If democrats want to amend an amendment, there is a process for that and it isn't by presidential mandate.

    You specifically said the system is not by edicts and decrees. The reality is that our system does allow edicts and decress. Maybe you're backtracking now and saying you're OK with it, but you certainly weren't then.

    And interesting that you say that the Supreme Court should shoot something down as unconstitutional when you don't even know what the Executive Order would say or do. Doesn't really sound much like you care about the process of determining whether it's legal or not - you just want whatever result you've already decided on.

    You dishonest scumbag. I said the process for changing an amendment is not by decree or edict. Keep lying.

    I am not okay with the president ignoring the constitution.

    What is absolutely shameful and disgusting is how Obama and you are trying to use the tragic situation at Sandy Hook to rob us of our rights. "Never let a crisis go to waste".... Obama's wanted to do this all along, and now he is trying to prey upon a sensitive nation after the tragic events at Sandy Hook caused by a mentally unstable man.

    Think, people, think. Protect our rights. Knee-jerk reactions are bad

    Isn't there a certain poster that often says "that when you have to resort to insults you lose the argument"? Now who could that be?

    And if that is the case here then by all means the checks and balances of our Constitution should be employed. I am not going to say whether this will be or not as I haven't seen what Obama is proposing but we do have checks and balances.

    It seems like many don't really know what a dictatorship is.
