From Article I, Section 8 of the
Constitution...(in the war- making clause)---
[The following is one of the
duties of CONGRESS. Article I enumerates the responsibilities of both Houses of Congress]---
"...make Rules concerning
Captures on Land and Water".
Last I heard, the CIA,
Military Intelligence, the President, or any part of the Pentagon are not members of Congress. That means Guantanamo, CIA Black Sites, "enhanced interrogation", etc. were/are all unconstitutional.
[Most "Liberals", Democrats,
and Republicans appear to support all of what's below. What's remarkable is that most so-called "Conservatives" and "Libertarians" seem to be the biggest supporters of those items below. One would think they would be the greatest supporters of the Constitution, the bedrock document of the Republic. Nope, no luck there.]
Add the unconstitutionality
described above to the fact that, thanks to the PATRIOT Act, FBI Agents now can write their own Search Warrants (no judge required), a clear violation of the 4th Amendment, and U.S. citizens (here, on our soil) now, thanks to the NDAA, can be held indefinitely without trial or any kind of due process, a clear violation of the 5th Amendment, and several other blatant violations of the Supreme Law of the Land, and it's plain that the Republic of the USA exists in name only.
"Conservatives" and
"Libertarians" are the most vociferous defenders of these VIOLATIONS of the Constitution. That's quite remarkable, and a testament to how powerful the Oligarchical Propaganda has been in the last 15 yrs or so. [The two segments of the political spectrum at the beginning of this paragraph are in quotes because: 1. there are no more Conservatives in the USA to my knowledge... only NeoConservatives, a horse of an entirely different color; and 2. Libertarians here are not the original, traditional Libertarians of the past... again, a horse of an entirely different color.]
Not just my opinion. Be Well
p.s. In talking about any and all members of the groups mentioned above, I'm referring primarily to those individuals at the highest levels, not those at street level. |
