We have smelled this coming for a while. We saw the signs of creeping fascism early. We heard about the downing street memos, the use of signing statements to put the pResident above the law, vast voter disenfranchisement in FL and OH, and the lack of any functioning oversight by either ethics committees (to name a few).
This power grab is much worse. This is a blatant example of our right to elect our representatives being taken away. Hastert and the republican party are attempting to set a precident that would strip us of control over our elections.
