I actually know the answer to my own question. The founder is a guy name Stewart Rhoades. He is a former Ron Paul staffer. Still thirsty for some Koolaid?

To answer your question: Even if this was run by somebody more mainstream I would be opposed to it. I don't agree in wrapping oneself in the Constitution and then taking on powers not granted by the Constitution.

What powers are these guys taking on? They are simply defining legal and illegal orders, in their view, which every military man is obligated by law to do. American military men are not allowed the "just following orders" excuse, nor are they allowed to claim ignorance of the law. These guys appear to be merely anticipating orders which may come that would be illegal, and that they therefore would not follow. So again, what powers are they taking on?

The Constitution supplements the Declaration of Independence--it doesn't supplant it.
