2. We're well past crisis stage...

These people don't think they have to follow the Constitution. The rule of law is just a quaint concept to this group.

3. I wonder

if we Americans look at the phrase, "Give me liberty or give me death!" as merely an entertaining, archaic, historical idea.

In the tradition of our Forefathers, a Constitutional Crisis would signal that a majority of Americans would dust-off, embrace, nurture, and echo that phrase resoundingly.

Sure, the powers that be would be glad to dispense as much death and destruction as we have financed with generations of blood and sweat. We didn't buy the technology and arms for them to use it on us. They seem to be preparing for a fascist purging already in every respect.

When the people are ready to say, as a unified response to this chicanery and profound disregard for our sacred Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and what we intuit Democracy to mean, "Give me liberty or give me death! We do not negotiate with Fascists! There is no middle ground there!" Then, they know that the people have a clear understanding of what is going on and are serious about the response and its historical foundations.

When we really should be in a New Age of True Democracy, ready to consider enacting a Bill of Rights II, and using the rapid increases in technology to bring more of an equitable , yet sensible lifestyle to everyone within these borders and even the rest of the World, we are, instead, compelled to squander our resources and energy try to protect, preserve, and even reconstitute, what we thought was already a matter of fact in our political climate.

The Borg have done one thing for us for sure. They have given us a needed kick in our complacency. Is resistance futile? Must we comply?

That is up to the People to decide. Is it soup yet?
