In recent history we've witnessed Germany, Italy, Russia and other nations become totalitarian because the people did not push back as the tyrants grabbed more and more power explaining that it was for "the good of the people" and therefore necessary. Dictatorships are very efficient in carrying out the dictator's wishes without recourse. Even if a fake court system is in place to contest anything, YOU LOSE! Even if fake elections are held, YOU LOSE!
There has been much protesting about some of the Obama-Nation actions, but only a few have been challenged in the courts. Much of what he has done remains unchallenged and will be cited as precedent in the future. None of these should be allowed to stand!! The pity is that any Supreme Court rulings on these challenges will depend upon the "judges" ideology and not upon their constitutionality. Decisions of this kind essentially alter the constitution without going through the process of amending.
Those of you who don't care and think this is OK when the decisions go your way, beware, it can be turned against you when the tide shifts. This is exactly why we have to adhere to the intent and meaning of the words in the constitution. It explains and LIMITS governmental power so that no side can trick you into doing something which could some day come back to bite your butt. If you know any decision is partisan in nature and not one based upon constitutional authority, there is not much you, or anyone, can do about it. We need an amendment which would allow the House of Representatives, the peoples' house, to nullify what nine men and women have decided for over 300 million people.
What changes would you make to our constitution? Better yet, try writing one from scratch. You decide what power you want to give someone over your life.
