Obama's Enabling Act- the Executive Order

Hitler's Mustache                          Obama promises broad gun control action. “ Photo - Google Images On August 2, 1934 Paul von Hindenburg, president of the Weimar Republic of Germany died.  Chancellor Adolf Hitler immediately invoked the Executive Order Enabling Act which  empowered him to  dispense with the constitution for four years while he issued laws, unchecked.  In a heartbeat Adolf Hitler dissolved Germany's parliament and forced the army to swear an oath of allegiance to him—personally. He was, in a flash, absolute Dictator. ‘‘In addition to potential legislative proposals, Biden’s group has expanded its focus to include measures that would not need congressional approval and could be quickly implemented by executive action... Possibilities include changes to federal mental-health programs and modernization of gun-tracking efforts by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.’’ - Obama promises broad gun control action. No apologies for using the the Hitler thing with Obama.  The parallels are just too compelling.  And, don't you know, nobody—I mean nobody—had heard of Godwin's Law until Obama was elected.   This clip from yesterday's The McLaughlin Group is interesting, aside from Pat Buchanan's "There Would Be A Revolution" If Government Confiscated Weapons." quote.  Namely, the staggeringly stupid  Eleanor Rodham Clift is not only still alive, but still part of the panel.  Little matter however; while The McLaughlin Group was once an important part of the public debate, is ain't no more.  I wonder if defunct Newsweek is sending Clift her retirement check? ”
