It's more and more certain that Obama will not allow an election in November.
He's going to stage a coup and blame it on the Tea Party so he can declare martial Law
Lets Hope he does. Wont be 24 Hours before he finds the Capital Surrounded by Armed Citizens and Members of the Military who Actually Respect the Constitution.

Executive privilege explained: What Obama's Fast and Furious document claim means | Fox NewsPresident Obama on Wednesday asserted executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents just as a House panel prepared to push ahead with a contempt vote against Attorney General Eric Holder.
Here's what the president's action means:
-- Executive privilege allows Obama to withhold from Congress documents revealing internal communications and decision-making of the executive branch of government that he believes should remain confidential.
-- A subpoena by Congress cannot override claims of executive privilege. However, the privilege is considered "qualified" and "not absolute," meaning it can be challenged and overturned in the courts, according to the Congressional Research Service.
During Wednesday's hearing, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, suggested to chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., that the dispute be resolved by the courts before Congress proceeded with a contempt vote. But Issa said the committee is "concurrently evaluating" the executive privilege claim and trying to get a "log" of executive privilege assertions from the White House. He also said the letter he received claiming executive privilege, which was from Deputy Attorney General James Cole, was not sufficient. "Only thetrying to get a "log" of executive privilege assertions from the White House. He also said the letter he received claiming executive privilege, which was from Deputy Attorney General James Cole, was not sufficient. "Only the president can do it," Issa said. "A letter saying the president has done it is not sufficient."
-- Historically, a challenge of executive privilege rarely reaches the courts. The majority of disputes over access to information have been resolved through political negotiations.
"While reviewing courts have expressed reluctance to balance executive privilege claims against a congressional demand for information, they have acknowledged they will do so if the political branches have tried in good faith but failed to reach an accommodation," according to CRS.
-- The idea of executive privilege is not explicitly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but the Supreme Court ruled it to be part of the "separation of powers" doctrine.
-- This is the first time President Obama has asserted executive privilege. Presidents Richard Nixon, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton all resorted to using executive privilege during their administrations. The practice has been used 24 times since President Ronald Reagan to protect the confidentiality of information.
It's time for Holder to tender his resignation.

This after an 18 month investigation into the ATF "letting walk" 2000 semi--automatic weapons into the hands of violent Mexican drug cartels. Of course Eric Holder--Attorney General of the United States and head of the ATF along with Obama have stated repeatedly that they knew nothing about this program. No one from the ATF was fired--in fact the top level officials involved in this program were promoted--obviously to shut them up. We know of one U.S. border patrol agent dead with these guns--and only God knows how many Mexican citizens these guns have killed--(I imagine with the violence on the border)--100's of them are dead--including many innocent civilians.
The investigation committee was going to file contempt charges against Eric Holder today-(June 20, 2012)-because he had been withholding a lot of the e-mails from the committee along with other evidence--and today Obama claims EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE on this program. Obviously--because there is something so damaging within these documents--it would probably PROVE that Eric Holder authorized this program--knew full well about it--and has been trying to cover up his involvement into Fast and Furious over the last 18 months. It's possible that Obama knew about it also.
This is what your Obama's most TRANSPARENT administration in history is doing.
It's time for Holder to tender his resignation.
He probably won't have to resign now.

Judge Napolitano on ‘Fast and Furious’ Documents: Executive Privilege Only Applies If the President Was Personally Involved | Fox News InsiderThis morning, the White House asserted executive privilege over documents related to Operation Fast and Furious, per Attorney General Eric Holders request. Following this move, Judge Napolitano warned that we may be on the precipice of a constitutional confrontation between the Executive Branch, the White House, and the Congress.
Executive privilege, in its definition, provides protection over communications with the president himself, according to the judge. The letter sent by Eric Holder requesting executive privilege does not detail a discussion with the president, but Judge Napolitano said, The implication is there.
He probably won't have to resign now.
Don't be so sure.
Anything is possible. This whole thing could be a delaying tactic so they can get their shit together at their own pace instead of Issa's pace. What's worse, having your AG held in contempt of Congress or claiming Executive Privilege, so you can get your shit together?
I haven't been here that long. Was this board around for all eight years of Bush II? Let's just do a search for threads about Bush II using Executive Privilege. ANY Right Winger who defended him in those threads is a two-faced fuck. Any Leftie bitching about them and defending Obama's use of it is a two-faced fuck.
Perhaps it's best for all the details to come out before rushing to any judgment, yeah? NO! LET'S FUCKING IMPEACH OBAMA BECAUSE WE HAVE A HUNCH SOME SHIT WENT DOWN.
I have a better idea: end the stupid fucking drug war. Then you wouldn't need shit like this to go down. I will say it's interesting that people who bitched for 8 years that their guy was just "ensuring national security" are now up in arms about this.
Both sides do hinky shit. Let's wait to see just how hinky this is.

There's a dead American at the end of Obama's Fast and Furious, that's the big difference
