alright then, fuck the constitution, it's every man for himself

[mopaul]

let's just follow our government's example and do whatever the fuck we want, whenever the fuck we want to, and fuck the consequences.

see you at the mass drug orgy.

[MindPilot]

1. I'm down with that!

Actually, I'm hoping I get jury duty soon. I have a very scathing rant planned for the "can you be fair?" question.

[King Coal]

4. I'd like to hear that.

Can you at least hit the high notes for us?

[MindPilot]

6. It would go something like this...

Fair? You ask me if I can be fair?! Of course I can be fair, but the system isn't. The Constitution is in tatters, the president--indeed almost the entire body of elected officials--operate outside the law. Our votes are not counted and our voices are not heard. Government by, of and for the people is reduced to a cruel joke. Corruption at the highest levels of government and business is the order of the day yet you expect me to sit here and judge this guy (point to defendant) for (whatever minuscule infraction)? No, your honor I cannot as an American citizen in good conscience pretend to participate in so-called "justice" while you sit under the portrait of someone whose opinion of the US Constitution is that it is "just a goddamned piece of paper."

9. I'm guessing you'll be excused from jury duty immediately

after that speech.

[MindPilot]

10. I've been excused before for a lot less

always an issue when one works for a company that employs a lot of lawyers. I also imagine I'll be lucky if excused is all I get.

[savemefromdumbya]

2. you have a point

[gumby]

3. Constitution?

Why, that's just a GD piece of paper. Phooie.

[madokie]

8. only to be scoffed at

[Beam Me Up]

5. The Consent of the Governed -- is hereby revoked.

Fake elections
Fake pReident
Fake Congress
Fake Terror (tm) (with very real casualties)
Fake War (ditto)
Fake Supreme Court
Fake "National Security"

On and on...

The fascists are ready to claim total control.

I NEVER granted my consent to be governed by FASCISTS to begin with.

[necso]

7. Pretty much.

The neocons have the power of the state and of capital behind them, however, so I would be prepared to defend myself at that drug orgy.

...And could I get a doggy bag?
