Other Democrats should be very, very wary of what she is doing here. Because one of their own will have to live with the consequences some day. A Democrat will inevitably occupy the White House at some point in the future. The will find themselves having to deal with the wreckage left by the Imperial Speakership. And there will be wreckage in one form or another, even if it is just in an ugly precedent that will leave the executive branch seriously weakened.

I sincerely hope you are right, Gaius, but I am not optimistic about the wisdom, or even the awareness, of the electorate. I find that most people are pretty ignorant about the Constitution, its meaning, or about how it is largely unheeded by the Left. “The voters will not be amused by an Imperial Speakership.”

Pelosi is basically organizing a circus act and so far Syria is the only town that has signed up to host the show. Our friends in the region would probably resent being used as a pawn in Pelosi's domestic political games. I wrote an article on this subject over at macsmind today.
