  1. A properly drafted Constitution would last decades. The problem is that Thai politicos are too nearsighted to see past the next few months. They need to create a system of checks and balances, but no one wants to give up power to a branch of government they can't personally control or influence.

  2. If he does this he will guarantee there will be a Republican president next term. The public uproar will be deafening.

    He'll probably be impeached for violating the constitution which is a crime.

    No, impeaching Obama will guarantee there will be a Democrat elected President and a Democratic Congress. Didn't you learn your lesson with Clinton? C'mon, impeaching a constitutional lawyer for violating the constitution. Give me a break.

    What are you saying? Democrat Clinton was impeached in 1999 and the next year a Republican was elected president. The same Republican was elected again 4 years later.

    What lesson would you take from that?

    I love Republican revisionism. Your memory is as short as your . . . http://www.gallup.com/poll/4111/clinton-receives-record-high-job-approval-rating-after-impeachment-vot.aspx

  4. Unfortunately, like medical insurance reform, it is the wrong solution. The political climate in the US prevents implementation of legislation that would actually fix these problems. For medical care, the insurance companies stood in the way of real reform which would have lowered the cost and expanded medical access for all. The insurance companies are an unnecessary middleman that increases the cost of medical care in the US over 100%.

    For immigration reform, the proper solution is to legitimize those undocumented immigrants who are contributing to the economy or society, and deport the criminals. Give payroll tax breaks to companies employing US citizens, with smaller payroll tax breaks for employing foreign workers. That way, employers have an incentive for hiring US citizens first, documented foreign workers second, and reduced incentive for hiring undocumented workers. The failure to realize that business and the labor market drives the entire immigration issue in the US is the reason the political system can't come up with the right solution. Obama's executive order doesn't improve the situation much, and just hardens the anti-immigration sentiment.
