"Given the danger do you advocate impeachment?"
"Yes. President Bush struck down Posse Comitatus -- which has prevented, with a penalty of two years in prison, U.S. leaders since after the Civil War from sending military forces into our streets -- with a 'signing statement.' He should be impeached immediately in a bipartisan process to prevent the use of military forces and mercenary forces against U.S. citizens"
"Should Americans call on senior leaders in the Military to break publicly with this action and call on their own men and women to disobey these orders?"
"Every senior military officer's loyalty should ultimately be to the Constitution. Every officer should publicly break with any illegal order, even from the President."
"But if these are now legal. If they say, 'Don't obey the Commander in Chief,' what happens to the military?"
"Perhaps they would be arrested and prosecuted as those who refuse to participate in the current illegal war. That's what would be considered a coup."
"But it's a coup already."
"Yes."

I don't think that's going to happen. Unless they just found Osama I'm sure Bush would have wanted that one out there as quickly as possible.

I was reading an article in Surfer about a little chunk of paradise called Vanatu. Right now it is so tempting to fuck it all, ditch everything and everybody, and just go there and live in a grass hut and ride a surfboard that I carved from a tree trunkAristotle wrote:i'll be more hopefull when obama is in office, but either way i'm going to try and be out of this country within 10yrs, unless there are some drastic improvements.
