Tea Party hatches quiet-but-insane plot against democracy: Meet the “12 Percent Solution”

What if there were a fourth branch of government that would allow the fans of “Duck Dynasty” to overturn Roe v. Wade, repeal Obamacare and pretty much nullify any federal law or Supreme Court decision they don’t like, based on the support of as little as 12 percent of the nation’s population? And what if that fourth branch already existed in the American constitutional order, just waiting to be properly realized?
That’s basically the dream of conservative activist Charles Kacprowicz, as described in a recent conference call with supporters, effectively summing up many of the deepest hopes and fears of right-wing America in the post-Bush era.
“The best that we have now is the idea of nullification. But the states right now do not have a provision in the Constitution that allows them to countermand laws,” Kacprowicz said. But he’s crafted a proposal that would change all that. “With this provision, in the Sovereignty and States Rights Amendment, they can countermand it, and they can disallow it when 30 states say ‘let’s stop.’ ”
the 12% T-Per's want to encroach on the other 88%'s rights and have control over what laws they must obey and live by and they are doing this because they think we are doing it to them, talk about your delusions of grandeur muddled in the insanity of the republican party.  we have to except there rules because they don't except ours almost comical if not for the fact tat armed right wing zealots are the most dangerous animal on earth, rebels without a real cause.
looking for a chance to rebel, they were given that when Pres. was duly elected as their leader.    "WE CAME UNARMED THIS TIME", so what's that mean for the next time we have police, nat'l guard and all the military,  start something their butts can't finish because they got drone struck out of existence  that is stupid and for nothing.
