One such treaty is the UN Charter, which says <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN_Charter#Article_2" rel="nofollow">under Article 2 Section 4</a> that all members must refrain from threatening a sovereign state or violating their territorial integrity. That action is only legal when authorized by the Security Council or as necessary to repel an attack or imminent attack.<br /><br />You're pretty upset about hungry peasants illegally crossing our border in order to avoid starvation. How about violations of the Constitution which you claim to care about? How about when such violations lead directly to the death of at least hundreds of thousands of people and hit your wallet huge? Do those crimes matter? Or only the crimes of the poor?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530680372103907969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-46004053582788429972012-02-01T07:33:02.536-05:002012-02-01T07:33:02.536-05:00The point is this, Chad.

You think you're real tough because you're ready to bring the swift hammer of justice down on hungry peasants, because after all they may have gotten a meal on your dime.<br /><br />What about the fact that Bush and Obama are prosecuting wars that have cost about $1 trillion. These cost more than a meal for a hungry peasant. Those were also illegal, just like the immigrant is here illegally. But you don't call for their prosecution. Only for the weak and powerless.<br /><br />When a police officer kicks a defenseless person in the head you don't notice. It just reminds you that somewhere out there a poor person finished a 12 hour shift doing back breaking work and he made less than you do in an hour. You're outraged that he's violated our laws and acted in this way in an effort to feed his family.<br /><br />Meaning it is very clear that you have fully absorbed this mentality that the only crimes that matter are the crimes of the poor and weak.<br /><br />I'm not saying the crimes of the poor and weak don't matter. I'm not saying every law is just. I am saying that the crimes of the powerful are ignored, and I think that's a problem.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530680372103907969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899606766246433608.post-68836011746988242192012-01-31T14:05:00.366-05:002012-01-31T14:05:00.366-05:00Interesting "restoration of the rule of law&q...Interesting "restoration of the rule of law" so your prepared to arrest 13 million illegals as well Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code?<br /><br />Wait for it - here comes a 14 paragraph Elitist view why the rule of law does not apply for the group Jon loves.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828361282326797453noreply@blogger.com
