Reply #51: He may or may not use it

[Prophet 451]

Granted, those documents give Bush the power to effectively declare himself dictator but whether he'll use it or not is another matter. I'm sure he'd like to but it depends on whether he thinks he can get away with it. Plus, I think he'd want to leave it as late as possible. With impeachment off the table (thanks very fucking much Pelosi, talk about shooting yourself in the foot!), a still largely compliant mass media and the fact that no-one's called them on blatantly ignoring subpoenas (which is a straightforward impeachment offence if there ever was one), I think he'll be content to leave it as late as possible.

What happens then depends on what Chimpy (or more likely, his handlers) think they can get away with. Martial law is a distinct possibility.

Impeachment might not work but at least when historians look back, they'll be able to note that someone tried to reign the maniacs in.
