in the case of a national threat. He and others worked on it for a couple of decades. Tools were put in place without much push-back, during the Bush decade that gave the president major powers to spy, arrest, detain, and torture anyone they decided was a threat to the security. I believe they even had a document that could suspend Congress temporarily. There are lots of documentation of this and so so far this is not CT. Now comes the CT. Up until some time in 2007, George Bush was bold, outspoken, and egocentric. Cheney was also outspoken and obviously power mad. I was worried that they might come up with a reason to declare a national threat of some kind and authorize the Continuation of Government with a unitarian executive run government. I figured that they had the tools, George was egocentric enough and Cheney was power hungry enough to try to pull it off. But their behavior dramatically changed in 2007. What in the world could make these two sociopaths change their behavior so drastically?
They left town with their tails between their legs. Cheney was even in a wheelchair.
Any speculation? I assume that's acceptable here.
