Title says it all. Coming from Obummer & Co., it can't be good. The left seems to be cheering for it; Zero sent a hand signed note to Reddit thanking them for their support.

He'll even the liberals are not happy about this. It's a blatant power grab. Hopefully it won't survive the courts.First Shirt wrote:Not 100% sure yet, but my gut reaction is that if the liberals are happy about it, it can't be good!
