[h=2]Can the U.S. Constitution be "suspended" for any reason?[/h]
It already has.
Look at "secret federal court dockets" (well, actually, you can't look at them); trial-less detention; the NSA; etc.
It's been suspended since the day Obama took office.
Can't pin it all on Obama.
The Patriot Act and War on Drugs wasn't enacted under his watch...

You have to ruin my fun don't you...lol
Very true....but he didn't undo any of it either...he only enhanced and/or contributed to all such things when he took the oath.
I know someone who was plowing and got a fine for breaking that curfew.Remember when Gov.Devil would usher in a state of emergency due to snow storms and on several occasions they threatened that anyone on the roads after curfew could be subject to fines (unless you were emergency services).
The USA PATRIOT Act was signed into law by Bush, meaning it would not have existed otherwise. Then Obama renewed it.I call BS!
When Bush was President, everything was blamed on him, including 9/11, which happened, what, 8 months into his Presidency? Clinton got credit for the good economy built by Reagan and Bush I, Bush gets blamed for Clinton's horribly accommodative foreign policy, and Obama gets blamed for nothing.
No amount of emo whinging about Bush being blamed for other things can change the facts.The USA PATRIOT Act is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. The title of the act is a ten-letter backronym (USA PATRIOT) that stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.[SUP][1]
[/SUP]On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act:[SUP][2][/SUP]roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[SUP][3][/SUP]

I had no clue the Patriot Act was a backronym.
