What oath is forever?
May I suggest that you take some time to think about what unrestrained and arbitrary authority might look like? Please consider how the trampling of the Constitution - even to "get at" the vilest is a very dangerous and ominous precedent.
Oh please, you damn well know what my oath means. Less you stick your foot further in your mouth I was a founding member and later the Chairman of Veterans for Constitutional Restoration (VetsCor). Except for the rogue cops, I support the Thin Blue Line against anarchy, which the 1%ers would love to see happen for their own gain.
Let me elaborate further. You're talking apples and oranges. While I didn't mention States' or local rights, you should have known my intent. You extrapolate to the extreme with your "unrestrained and arbitrary authority" regarding 1%er bikers.
The 9th and 10th Amendments gives authority to the States in all state and local criminal matters. Every State in the Union has their own Constitution and Codes. The outlaw gangs come under State authority unless a Fedgov matter like kidnapping. Not sure that should be federal either. Way to many over-zealous agencies.
You should do some research on my handle and posts. I've always been a States rights advocate first. Research VetsCor and then tell me I'm "arbitrary" and "trampling" the Constitution. Hell, I Chaired an organization for restoration of our Constitution. You can't be more wrong. Sheesh, send a message to JimRob and ask him about my bona-fides.
