Is there any doubt now that it is a coup attempt?

This is a difficult subject to talk about. Americans are happy if they're not paying attention or "not satisfied" with the direction of the country.

But no matter how they feel when you talk to them they probably all take for granted that the state of the country is just a little or moderately off and will soon be back on track.

Seven years ago a Turkish friend of mine said that America would have a civil war within 20 years. I was shocked that she would say this. I tried to convince her that the checks and balances built into our system would prevent that from happening.

What I couldn't anticipate is a situation that would lead to such a bitter division that existed for so long. We're not so divided now but there are still forces out there trying to tear us apart so that they can take over. Now, it scares me to think how close we came to being taken over. Even though it feels like the tide is changing, we're not out of the woods yet.

We are in Constitutional Crisis now; the Constitutional Confrontation is yet to come...LINK
