"The executive can't seize control of the government without the cooperation/abrogation of the other two branches without a military coup"
quote annonymous


oh I think that control was seized while good men and women remained silent.

The Republican Congress cooperated, The Supream court stuffed with Bush and Reagan judges declated W the Winner.
One unlikely hero, and I do mean unlikely, to say no to to the NSA domestic police state spy program was John Ashcroft.
The President did it anyway by exec order. Furthermore they used the Judicial dept to implement voter fraud in 2004.

Lets see thats the Executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch...
and oh yes the Media branch or as they used to call it "the fourth estate".

and the 5th branch...

Without any cynacism I assure you that the military and their defense contractors have been a decisive branch of goverment for some time.
