Turnabout is fair play, especially in politics, and by this time next year liberal Democrats are increasingly likely to be reminded of that, much to their angst and chagrin.

Why? Because if current political trends and polling bear out, billionaire businessman Donald Trump, the leading GOP presidential contender, might just be the next occupant of the Oval Office.

Boy, won’t heads explode then, and within the establishment of both major parties.

But let’s just focus on liberal Democrats for the time-being.

During his tenure, Barack Obama has been quick to circumvent Congress (and the Constitution) when the democratic process (election results, federal court cases, etc.) haven’t gone his way. When Democrats held Congress during his first two years in office, of course, the constitutional process of passing laws and having the president sign them was just dandy.

But then a majority of Republicans were elected to the House. Then, four years later, after gains in 2012, a majority of Republicans held the Senate. With two years left in his tenure, Obama essentially became a lame duck.

Or did he?

The reason why the Left fears Trump is actually good for the Constitution

It was around that time that Obama adopted his “If Congress won’t act, I will,” approach. Using his “pen and phone,” he has, for instance, changed or delayed provisions of Obamacare, changed immigration law, changed gun laws, and implemented a number of regulations via the federal bureaucracy.

Now, enter Trump. As noted by Breitbart News‘ John Nolte:

“Some conservatives say that Donald Trump is a menace to the Constitution, because he seems intent on picking up Barack Obama’s D.C.-approved extra-constitutional powers and using them for his own Trump-ian purposes, maybe even going further down the path to executive-order dictatorship than Obama did.

“This aspect of the Trump campaign should be welcomed by constitutional conservatives.

“Trump is the lens through which liberals can see the magnitude of what Obama has done, and understand why it’s wrong. They won’t rediscover the virtues of divided government until they’re scared to death of the alternative.”

How so?

If you’ve been following the 2016 race and, in particular, the rock-star rise of the populist Trump, you will have heard him talk about Obama’s penchant for using executive orders to get around the rule of law and the Constitution – which he does thanks to a feckless, lobbyist-owned Congress. You have likely heard The Donald say something like, “The good thing about executive orders is that the next president can come right in and undo them.”

That simply has Leftist Democrats in a tizzy.

Trump will make them see the constitutional error of their ways

You see, they like it when it’s a Democrat rewriting the rules by him- or herself. They view the Constitution as an anachronism and the guys who wrote it as racist bigot homophobes who hated women and blacks. They think the Constitution is a document for a different time, not this modern world of ours.

Nothing could be further from the truth, mind you, when you consider the “inalienable rights” the Constitution recognizes and protects, like freedom of speech, privacy, the right to self-defense with a firearm and so forth. But liberals nevertheless feel that way.

That’s why Trump frightens them. They truly believe he will live up to his word and begin to dismantle the socialist, Marxist “utopia” that Obama is so feverishly attempting to solidify.

As Nolte wrote, though, this is actually a good thing for constitutional conservatives. A guy like The Donald – who cannot be intimidated by attacks from the “lamestream” media, or political haters in and out of his own party – will become a living civics lesson for liberal Democrats who will understand fully why constitutional separations of power were not just right “back then,” but are just as right, and as necessary, to protect the people’s liberties, today.

“It’s a shame our political discourse has come to this, but Donald Trump is not the reason it came to this,” he writes. “Maybe the only way we can get Democrats on board with demolishing the estate of unconstitutional power Obama leaves is to let Trump turn it into a casino.”
