Thanking you in advance.
Consta....what? Oh, that old piece of parchment!....that was put in the shredder quite some time back! NOTHING lately has been 'constitutional'. Whole bodies of 'law' [cough!], such as the unPatriot Act, Military Commissions Act, NDAA, warrentless wiretapping, indefinite and lawyerless detention, torture, renditions, murder of Americans without trial, Gitmo, wars without Congress approving them, Presidential signings, Citizens United, Supremes deciding elections, COG, FEMA camps, end of habeas corpus, Enemy Expatriation Act, denial of Occupy and others rights to protest - and I could go on for pages are NOT Constitutional - in fact they are against both the letter and spirit of the Constitution...but as I said...that old piece of paper was shredded - so no longer applies. Get with the modern world Jan....get up to date! Constipation, maybe; Constitutionality is so passe'! Its the fascism, man....get with the program!

N.B. It is not [in 'their' minds] peacetime - there is a MAJOR war on, The Great & Endless War On Terror [and anyone, anyplace, any means 'they' choose!]
