Actually, I doubt it. The steps preceding (<i>temporary, of course</i>) suspension of federal elections, are more plausible.<br />I wouldn't put it past 0 to have established shadow squads and larger groups within the Army who are prepared to do his bidding, but I assume that getting the Army and NG to implement his orders would also be very problematic. Some generals would order subordinates to submit, or revise, reports of their units' readiness, which would show them to be currently incapable of getting very far past base gates. Unified action would be essential in the face of a shocked and increasingly pissed-off populace, and I'm skeptical that unity would be achieved.<br />Things are going to go to shit, one way or another, but I don't believe they'll go that way. My greatest fear is that they'll go so slowly the federal and local elites will be able to continue on.daniel_dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399665251275194585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-80745672772846922122015-01-07T08:45:50.902-05:002015-01-07T08:45:50.902-05:00the congress has shown by their actions or lack th...the congress has shown by their actions or lack thereof that they agree with oblama's actions. the only two forces that can restore dlemocracy to the USA are the Armed Forces or the people.
