The Bright Light Rushing at You...

Make no mistake about what is happening in this country. It is no longer that a coup is taking place; a coup has taken place and has succeeded. The framers contemplated a multi-branch government which was designed to prevent one branch from assuming control of the government and instituting autocratic rule. That design did not contemplate the possibility that those serving the government would fail or refuse to honor their oath to uphold the Constitution; that while threats may arise, in the end those sworn to uphold the Constitution would ultimately honor that commitment and err on the side of protecting the country from despotic rule. Recent events have proven and are continuing to prove that the checks constructed by the framers have failed because one party has chosen, affirmatively, to cause that failure. The executive, for reasons which still remain unclear has been able to take control of the majority party in the Senate thereby removing any chance of reigning in the executive as it extends the reach of its power unchecked and unfettered. Consequently, as the executive co-ops and corrupts the Department of Justice by installing a toad as its general the chance for using the rule of law to control the executive is gone. When the executive strips away the intelligence services we are left unprotected against any damage the executive may invite from foreign intervention into our national affairs. Where this is leading is increasingly clear. Should the executive prevail in the 2020 election he will be unbound by any need for accountability that an election may require and with the Senate remaining unchanged in its numbers we can be assured that the Senate will abide the executive should he choose to not abide by the term limits imposed by the Constitution and insist upon remaining in office so long as he chooses to do so. Should he lose the election of 2020 the same risk exists; that he will simply refuse to leave office fully confident that the Senate will not only stand by and do nothing but will likely find apologists for the executive who will justify the executive's refusal to leave thereby destroying forever whatever might be left of the Constitution.

Be warned. This is a real possibility and one that we cannot and will not be able to escape.
