I find it mildly amusing that a Democrat governor of North Carolina could call for suspension of the US Constitution without an out pour of outrage. If a Republican had called for such action, during the Bush era, they would demand the North Carolina assembly begin immediate impeachment proceeding for violating the oath of office, as well as treason. The Constitution may never be suspended.
Simultaneously, they would be demanding helicopters filled with federal marshals backed by a couple of MP companies be enroute to arrest the governor! But, since its just a Democrat...!
"I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover," Gov. Bev Perdue, a Democrat, said, according to a report by the Raleigh News & Observer. "You want people who don't worry about the next election.' "
