[Siege]

How long until the WhiteHouse disband the supreme court and take over its duties?

Who needs separation of powers anyway.

What brought this on?  The White House hasn't been seriously upset with the Supreme Court in a while that I am aware of.

350?

Before the end of his presidency, Obama will amend the Constitution to allow a 3rd term as a president.
If this fail, Michelle will run in 2016.
After that, all bets are off.

[Admiral Yi]

How much would you care to wager? 

[MadImmortalMan]

We're going to amend it so Putin can run.

Considering how this term has started Obama might be counting down the days until he can GTFO.

Well to be fair JQ Adams and GW Bush were sort of disastrous.  Siege is probably right here.

Putting aside the pragmatic necessity for having it to begin with (that's not really in question is it?), the concept that a thing can be first constitutional and then later unconstitutional simply shouldn't happen. In theory.

Uh...Plessy v. Ferguson and then Brown v. Board of Education?  Bowers v. Hardwick and Lawrence v. Texas?

His thirst for power cannot be satiated.

At least Dredd Scott vs. Sandford still stands.

I'm sure this won't be the last time either.
