It may be that some are going to end up in the dirt.....a possibility that is by no means satisfying to the sane.

The most analagous situation of which I'm aware was the Finnish Civil War of the early XX Century, fought to prevent a national takeover by the Finnish Communists. Casualty figures and details *here.*But a figure of circa 100,000 casualties out of a prewar population of 3 million, during a 4-month fighting period [and the cleanup retribution aftermath] offers a close approximation. Entire pro-Red villages disappeared, erased from the countryside.

The extreme suggests that the Constitution is no longer a valid contract. That could portend a disaster.

Once the contract guarantees of the First, Second or Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution are abrogated, suspended or otherwise broken, it is not just those portions that become moot but the entire document. And if those constitutional abrogators will not recognize my rights under the First Amendment, or the Second, there's no particular reason for me to accept that they have any authority derived under Article 1, or Article 2.

It looks like the best hope would be a more-or-less peaceful seperation of states as per the Soviet Union circa 1991. But I suspect that such an effortis doomed to degrade into a more brutal repetition of the 1861-1865 conflict, though of longer duration and withmuch greater casualty numbers. There'd be no expectation of honourable tratment of prisoners by either side in such an affray and eventual near-total warfare could be expected, as per the Finnish example.

"It looks like the best hope would be a more-or-less peaceful seperation of states as per the Soviet Union circa 1991."

No, the best hope, IMHO, is for us to put pressure on the government to impeach those black-robed Stalinists. Weren't almost all of them appointed by Clinton, and Souter tricked us by pretending to be a conservative? I think that we should not be quite about all this, but raise such a stink that those schmucks in the government basically have no choice but to pay attention.

BTW, thanks for answering my mail about the JFK asssasination. Did you receive my other mails?
