The Daily Kos<\/em> is carrying the article Are Pro-NDAA Lawmakers for Military Detention of U.S. Citizens Actually Guilty of “Treason?”<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

You don’t need to be a meteorologist to know if it’s raining outside, and you don’t need to be a constitutional scholar to know that permanent wartime powers amounts to the overthrow of the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution.\u00a0 Treason.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This sounds an awful lot like statements to which I always object “You don’t need a PhD in economics to understand [name your favorite economic inanity].\u00a0 It just takes common sense.”\u00a0 Nevertheless, this Daily Kos<\/em> article is worth thinking about.<\/p>\n

“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by\u00a0 man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its\u00a0 constitution.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I also remind you of my oft stated warning, “The above statement does not derive its wisdom from having been said by a famous founding ancestor.\u00a0 Instead that famous founding ancestor can be said to have some wisdom because he made the above statement.\u00a0 Whatever other statements said founding ancestor might have made, need to be judged on their own merits.”<\/p>\n
