    Remember when they were complaining that Obama was acting like a king? It turns out they like kings after all.

    Maybe they’re just looking for certain… Characteristics… in a King.

      I’m guessing “The Blueprint: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency” was actually more projection than it was a condemnation of actual policies.

        Huh don’t recall this. Was it a big deal at the time?

        Also from Amazon description:

        Courts: The authors have insider knowledge of how Obama will pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with activist judges who will overstep their constitutional authority.

        Lol.

          Yeah, every accusation is a confession. I’m sure the GOP playbook for years has been: accuse the Left of doing X; do X yourself but in the name of trying to “level the playing field”.
