Leatherneck:
Do you foresee them using the reins of power to attempt to dodge the 2012 bullet headed towards them? Via courts, or suspension of elections, or even by legislative fiat ("We the Congress propose in HR-666, that because domestic terrorism sponsored by the Tea Party has the power to radically disrupt legitimate government functions, we should postpone all Federal elections for 6 years." "Approved, B.H. Obama.")?
Or will it be more insidious via gerrymandering after the Census?
Or some other mechanism?
