Read Ann Coulter's piece just referred to above. The opposition has already used force as they pleased. As Jack Ryan said in a Tom Clancy book, "The constitution is not a suicide pact." And the rule of law is not an excuse to bury our heads in the sand or to raise "The Law" to the position of Absolute Authority. The law is a man-made artifact and we do not genuflect to it or to those men born in original sin who mis-apply it.

This nation was established by men who meant to govern themselves... better than a king or some inbred aristocracy. And now we are to pledge our allegiance, "our lives, ,our fortunes, our sacred honor" to some guy in a black robe whose tortured legal pronouncements somehow have the weight of holy writ.

That is not democracy. That is serfdom.
