... Some of us have watched this day
approach and have warned of its coming,
only to be greeted with boos and hisses
from "patriots" who have come to regard the
U.S. Constitution as a device that coddles
criminals and terrorists and gets in the
way of the President who needs to act to
keep us safe.
In our book, The Tyranny of Good
Intentions, Lawrence Stratton and I
showed that long before 9/11, U.S. law had
ceased to be a shield of the people and had
been turned into a weapon in the hands of
the government. The event known as 9/11 was
used to raise the executive branch above
the law. As long as the President sanctions
an illegal act, executive branch employees
are no longer accountable to the law that
prohibits the illegal act. On the
president’s authority, the executive branch
can violate U.S. laws against spying on
Americans without warrants, indefinite
detention, and torture and suffer no
consequences.
Many expected President Obama to
re-establish the accountability of
government to law. Instead, he went
further than Bush/Cheney and asserted the
unconstitutional power, not only to hold
American citizens indefinitely in prison
without bringing charges, but also

Everybody's equal under the law. Some
are just more equal than
others.
Justice in Amerika is
only for those who can afford
it.
From Mark J. Perry's Carpe
Diem:
... According to a 2009 estimate from the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (reported
on the American Bird Conservancy
website).
Those bird fatalities happen more
than 1,200 times every day (440,000
deaths annually and 50 deaths every
single hour of the day on
average).
For the millions of documented
wind-related bird fatalities that have
taken place in recent years, how many
wind companies have been
prosecuted?
None - they get a pass.
In contrast, 28 migratory birds
(including ducks) allegedly died after
landing, by mistake, in oil waste pits in
western North Dakota between May 20 and
June 11.
Seven oil companies are being charged
by the U.S. Attorney for North Dakota for
violating the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty
Act.

Press: "When it comes to protecting
America's wildlife...

LewRockwell.com:
I've had
numerous responses to articles I've written
asking me, "OK, so what’s the next
step?"
I respect your intelligence, so I
won't say… voting.
... So, what can we do?
There is still one mechanism with real
teeth that we can use to effect real
change – if we have the sense to use
it:
The market.
More specifically, our preferences (for
liberty) as expressed via our actions –
our decisions to buy or not – in the
marketplace.
It is a force with more locked-up
potential in it than an electoral
juggernaut.
A means by which the country
could be transformed – peacefully – not
in a generation, but in a matter of weeks
or months.
Consider two
examples I’ve written about recently: GM’s
odious OnStar onboard Big Brother – and the
similarly loathsome Submission Training
travelers must endure at airports.
GM and the
insurance cartels and the law enforcement
cartels (the same thing, really) want to
be able to monitor you at all times and
control you, too, via GPS implants in
cars that automatically...
