[Peace-discuss] Obama claims right to execute at will

[E.Wayne Johnson]

As Naomi Wolf (who at one time supported Obama) and many others have noted, 
the P.T.B. were unwilling to remove W from office for his abuse of power 
simply because they want to retain and strengthen that (unconstitutional) 
power in the executive branch.

(...omne regnum divisum contra se desolatur et omnis civitas vel domus 
divisa contra se non stabit
et si Satanas Satanan eicit adversus se divisus est quomodo ergo stabit 
regnum eius?)
