Democrats are too big of cowards to openly do something like that. They'll do it though the back door, through regulation, then blame others for when the inevitable happens.
till they don't have to because the police state is so firmly entrenched and they want thier victims to know who has the power. It will come. The power-hungry inevitably want others to know and recognize their power directly
True, but MNHawk is right, they'll avoid being on record as much as possible, besides blaming Pubbies for inaction (code word for bow to democrats) it makes it easier for O'Bongo to issue decrees.
Once they don't have to pretend to care who knows it will be well past too late anyway...
Hopefully the destruction in place causes the crap to hit the fan before statists can consolidate any more power and resources....
