I understand your point.

But on the otherhand. If you step off.... and do your own thing, outside the protection of the reach of the protections of the Consitution, then you may be taking a chance that someone who disagrees with you may reach out and touch you. I would suggest you reconsider. Hey, but make no mistake, I am fully supporting of sending the guy a Airborne Express message of our sentiment.

I want to see this defined, i.e. exactly what constitutes this scenario. NOT by way of vague but colorful anecdotes; NOT by way of ominous but generally convincing news blurbs; but something substantive and more respectful of the RULE OF LAW in a civilized nation. For ƒuck's sake, folks.

Congratulations to jinx on the Captain Obvious award--you win!

I don't disagree with what needs to be done, or whether it is "right" or not. I mean nothing more an nothing less than exactly what I've said.
Don't get shitty with me for being glib - because you're not really saying anything at all.
You want every possible way you can be a traitor spelled out somewhere? What the hell good does that do, next year it won't be relevant because times changes and the way people betray the country changes. Today it's islamic terrorists, but in 20 years, who the fuck knows?
That this list doesn't exist is not a good enough reason to sit around with your thumb up your ass waiting to get blown up.

So, if doing things right is hard, just give up and half-ass it. Good plan. That has longevity written all over it.

The rule of law is very simple. We elect a President who makes those decisions. Let's hope we always choose wisely.

"Rule of the Law" should go out the window when they changed the rules. Period.

Fight them on the same plane or perish.
