if, in the near future, bushler suspends the constitution....
...and "temporarily" assumes absolute authority, for what ever reason,
would there be an uprising? could they actually get away with it?
are we close to civil war?

get a free ticket to Gitmo too! I'm serious don't say anything even remotely like threatening violence it will be used against you I'm sure.. We must fight back with only peaceful means protesting and civil disobedience. no more!!!!

3. Habeus corpus is gone, so that basically takes care of the Bill of Rights

For everything else, they just use the power of creative 'reinterpretation' a la 'signing statements'. :(
