Well you're a few days behind schedule....

CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST... A Modest Proposal for Citizen's War

(the "Free Republic Libertarian Caucus" already posted the above-linked detailed proposal thread Friday, debated it with ex-military FReepers over the weekend, and now is urging this proposal forward for formal submission to Congress)... but we thank you for your support!!

More to come in the days ahead....

The problem with letters of marque and reprisal is that the US and a number of other nations signed a treaty to stop issuing them back in the early 19th century.

Interesting read. Even more interesting is a fictional novel called "Balance of Power" by James W. Huston. (and the sequel "Price of Power") In the book, Letters of Marque and Reprisal play a huge role in the plot...

Here's the plot summary from Amazon:

John Stanbridge, the Speaker of the House in James W. Huston's exciting and exceptionally timely first thriller, isn't exactly Newt Gingrich ("He was of average height with dark brown hair that was stiff and unruly. He wore it parted on the side, but the only time his hair looked neat was in the morning when it was still wet") but he is a hawkish, confrontational Republican who can't stand the idea that President Edward Manchester--a Democrat and a pacifist--is Commander in Chief of America's armed forces.

So when Indonesian terrorists hijack a new American supercargo vessel and torture the captain and crew on live TV, Stanbridge is delighted to discover a clause in the Constitution that lets Congress go behind the president's unwilling back and authorize military action on its own. This leads to a Constitutional crisis, which lawyer Huston describes crisply, as well as some air and sea military action, on which former jet pilot Huston also brings a lot of personal expertise to bear. There's even a love story, involving top aides of the Speaker and the president, ensuring that Balance of Power will soon be playing at a movie theater near you. --Dick Adler --

I read this a few months ago, on a website that unfortunately is off the Net for now. It was a court case, filed in New York, a motion to vacate a penalty for carrying a CW without a license, on Second Amendment (and this clause, and about every other in the Constitution) grounds. The Case is called Brunner v. New York, and is apparently going forward, but the web site I found it on has been unreachable for some time. If anyone finds the text of the motion, please drop me a line.
