The Dictatorship is here!
It all started a while ago, the RW Legislative Branch is planning to destroy the Judicial Branch.

1. Ending the Filibuster
2. Threats against Judges
3. The 'restoration' Acts
4. RW Comments - For example, Frist has said that he wants to abolish the Judiciary

And now the coming of the 'Sunset Commission' will destroy the Legislative Branch which will put all the power in the Executive Branch therefore setting up a Dictatorship.

This new commission will not only threaten the environment and public health -- it would also violate the constitutional separation of power between Congress and the executive branch, enabling the president to dismantle programs created by lawmakers. "Under the administration's proposal, Congress would relinquish its constitutional power to legislate," says Rep. Henry Waxman, a Democrat from California who has been the commission's most vocal opponent. "Power would be consolidated in the executive branch, and the legislative role would be emasculated."

No bloodshed required, the American Empire is finally coming to life.
