Lets organize and sue individuals in the government for....

[rainy]

consorting with a foreign government to control the national market
misappropriating 700,000,000
starting an illegal war
allowing 9-11
the list could get very long
My point is that why do we need congress to bring charges?
We the people have a grievance. We can show damage and loss due to the crimes listed above. Right now a lawyer is helping 9-11 victims' families sue over 9-11.

Shall we group together and get a constitutional/trial lawyer to help us?

1. Hey - where's the Judicial Watch guy now????

[mmonk]

2. just us regular folk

with no proof of direct injury don't have such powers (would be thrown out of court).

3. How about dead sons and daughters?

Is that damage enough?

8. More than enough

and I would be first in line to sue if I thought it would work.

4. The demand by rightwing Catholic Bishops and Archbishops

that politicians who are Catholic vote according to Vatican wishes makes those politicians who comply guilty of treason. Henry Hyde is a good example of such a politician. He has always followed orders from the "Holy See", (which has been designated a country so that the Vatican can have a vote in the U.N.) for years, and I suspect that he has been joined by many others. These people are supposed to be running the United States under the Constitution of the United States and not under orders from the head of a foreign country. This is not (or not yet!) medieval Europe.

You are correct, Congress is useless because it has long since let go the Constitutionally mandated balance of power and brought us a dictatorship.
The people have to act.

5. What about Anglicans?

Since they might follow orders from Canterbury, are they treasonous? After all, the Anglican Church is the Church of England.

6. And by the way

Hyde is a citizen of the United States, not the vatican. Are you a Klansman?

9. Hyde has received rewards from the Vatican for all he

has done for his religion. Go to his website and look. Someplace on that website is a congratulatory letter from John Anderson lauding Hyde's plan to turn the North American continent into a Commonwealth. The point is NO HEAD OF ANY RELIGION should be running the United States. The Vatican has left itself wide open to charges that it is liable for fostering treason in this country since it made itself a country to sit at the U.N. (this to destroy the lives of women everywhere). Obviously Anglicans, Southern Baptists, etc. do not run separate countries. The Bishops have started all the anti-rights and unconstitional nonsense such as the moves to make abortion illegal since anti-abortionists follow Papal Bull (1975), banning condoms in the A.I.D.S. epidemic thus intensifying that epidemic all over the world, etc.,etc. They are now openly demanding that elected officials follow their "religion" rather than the U.S. Constitution. Catholics for a Free Choice and people in the Quixote Center and many other good Catholics oppose the power of the hierarchy.

10. Did Hyde vote for the Iraq war?

[mmonk]

12. If he did, then

he went against the Vatican position. So the US is safe from the Vatican take over of the US. He proved he is a real American not a Catholic.

[annak110]

13. Huh?

Who said Catholics were not "real Americans" and why would anyone have to be one or the other? And whoever said a vote for the war was a litmus test for citizenship. Most of congress voted for the illegal, irrational, totally uncalled for invasion of Iraq.

A person is treasonous only by acting against the primary laws and the people of his own country under the direction of or for the favor of an "outside" political entity.

7. I think my first post ever on DU was regarding this

I remember feeling annoyed that everyone on DU complained but nobody did anything.

Where are the lawsuits???????

I am in full agreement with you.

Aren't there ANY lawyers in DU?

11. I'm with you!

Here is the perfect opportunity, handed to us on a silver platter, and yet we ..... ........

I don't want to hear any more complaints about Dem politicians doing nothing, if there is not a HUGE push today for letters of support for impeachment and lawsuits!

It's We The People time
