Dateline Washington, DC, 4 March, 2011
In a precident setting move of heretofore unimagined bipartizanship,
Senate Majority Leader Reid and House Speaker Boehner agreed to put the House and Senate into what amounts to indefinate recess. "Hey" Speaker Boehner explained "We're no longer needed. The White House has everything covered". Speaking of the previous day's Supreme Court announcement that the justices have agreed to an indefinate recess of that body, Reid said "We figured the Supreme Court was on to something. Lieing in the shade taking a siesta while collecting your pay isn't a bad way to go." A White House source said that while the President was surprised at the actions of Congress and the Supreme Court he believed that the Executive Branch is fully up to the challenge of ruling without further assistance from the other two branches of government. "We got it covered.", said the source, "Everything's going to be JUST FINE."

OK, so the above is a (possibly lame) attempt at satire and I know that the scenario I described is unlikely in the extreme to actually come to pass.
BUT the faux news piece IS drawn from fact. Folks, the Exective branch has the bit in its teeth now. It has graduated from ignoring the orders of Federal Judges (at least when a ruling goes against what it wants) to deciding what laws the DOJ will and will not enforce and defend. No matter that the law is of over a decade's standing. The Executive branch now has decided that IT is to be the arbiter of the constitutionality of laws.
Hey! The Executive WRITES its own laws - via Executive Orders and Federal regulations - AND determines what is and is not constitutional. I don't know why the Congress and SCOTUS don't just fold their tents and go home. They are no longer needed. We out here need not worry. The Obama Administration has everything covered.
Works for me.
Guess I'll need to get more ammo. Only got 200 rounds on hand at the moment. I figure I'll be ordering more tomorrow or Monday.
CRAP!!!
Reckon a 7.62NATO round would have a similar effect to a wolverine's paw?
