if bush and his pals can piss on the constitution and utterly disregard it, so can we! who says HE alone gets to fuck with and change the constitution? we can do the same thing!

we can disobey these assholes completely in many ways, what are they gonna do, put us ALL in prison? we can stop paying their huge fucking salaries and stop voting for them.

we can walk into the white house and fire them and shove their asses out the back door and arrest them if we really wanted to, constitution and rule of law be damned!

if the constitution is useless, and it is now under bush, then fuck the constitution altogether, if they won't obey it, then neither should we, the law is either the law or it's not, if the law won't help us get our nation back then screw the law, they certainly have.

remember how they squealed 'rule of law! rule of law' under our last legally elected president? they were just faking it, cause THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW, and WE are below it, so fuck the law, and fuck the constitution, and fuck playing by the rules, they certainly don't.

2. That is the the path for civil war here.
They broke the rules. We need to use the rules they broke to stuff them into orange jump suits and ship them to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The good guys ignoring the rules will set a precedence and lead to anarchy.

4. Thoreau and civil disobedience
"Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison. The proper place today, the only place which Massachusetts has provided for her freer and less despondent spirits, is in her prisons, to be put out and locked out of the State by her own act, as they have already put themselves out by their principles. It is there that the fugitive slave, and the Mexican prisoner on parole, and the Indian come to plead the wrongs of his race should find them; on that separate but more free and honorable ground, where the State places those who are not with her, but against her--the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor. If any think that their influence would be lost there, and their voices no longer afflict the ear of the State, that they would not be as an enemy within its walls, they do not know by how much truth is stronger than error, nor how much more eloquently and effectively he can combat injustice who has experienced a little in his own person. Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose. If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible. If the tax-gatherer, or any other public officer, asks me, as one has done, "But what shall I do?" my answer is, "If you really wish to do anything, resign your office." When the subject has refused allegiance, and the officer has resigned from office, then the revolution is accomplished. But even suppose blood shed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man's real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death. I see this blood flowing now.
