Ginsberg Defends Use of Foreign Law by U.S. Judges

[tombogan03884]

Why shouldn’t we look to the wisdom of a judge from abroad with at least as much ease as we would read a law review article written by a professor?” she asked

 Because our nation was founded with a totally different mind set than the top down administration of other nations.
I have my own question, If the laws of other countries are so wonderful how come we need a WALL to keep their citizens out of THIS COUNTRY ?

Tom I totally agree with you. Yet...if you're anti-top down (as am I) how can you argue for a military coup. Because those were so much fun in Argentina, Chile, Myamar  (Burma damn it!) and a hundred other places.

Because it would not be a "coup" It would be the Military leadership living up to it's oath to defend the Constitution from enemies "foreign and DOMESTIC." And if you don't think that this administration poses a clear and present danger to America you need to study more history and read what the "officials" are SAYING as opposed to what we are being told "they mean".
Even the Washington Post uses quotes. They speak English we do not need the socialist translation.

Well, I'll say we're both patriots, but the day a General so and so takes to the airwaves announcing a "temporary" state of emergency, is the day I take Badger's milk's advice and take to the swamps (sorry no hills around here) and start shootng anyone in a uniform. I don't care if its BO, or any other lawfully elected presindent they overthrow, even W.

Congress critters who commit crimes are routinely removed from office,( It should happen far more often) the President is no different, If an administration is willfully harming the nation the military have a duty to remove it. Tom, Who would have waded the Rubicon

And look what that got Rome, a republic to an empire. I really believe (and our history backs me) that the rules of the game matter more than who wins or loses.We have suffered under corrupt fools before. BUT there was always an election 4 years later. Messing with that system, particularly if it means giving power to unelected, unaccountable guys in uniform strikes me as the mother of all bad ideas. Name one benevolent military dictatorship that didn't produce poisoned fruit (Ceaser's included). Call me a libertarian, but if someone calling himself a general ever takes power via a coup, I'll shoot him twice in the face before I  salute him.

It would be fulfilling their obligations to the Constitution.

If we are going to be kept to one set of rules, and BHO, etc. have their own rules, then it would be official, this union is over.

Had to THINK about my reply here. It seems that for all FQ's talk of teaching Political Science he does not actually THINK, just parrots "book answers". Maybe that's why he is a "teacher" rather than a researcher.
First, on successful Military Coups, The coup that brought Batista to power gave Cubans the highest standard of living in the Caribbean, until Rich boy Castro ruined the casinos Havana was well on it's way to becoming THE resort destination of the western hemisphere. Look at Vegas today and compare it to Cuba.
Secondly, in the modern US the only PRACTICLE solution to federal thievery by taxation and usurpation of power is the intervention of the military. In my original post I did not say COUP, which is the military taking over the government, I said "a temporary military administration ".
The group that removes the current misadministration needs several things,
1) Nation wide organization under a single chain of command to assure unity of action and policy.
2) trust and respect of the majority of the population.
3) Experience in rebuilding failed governments from the community level upward.
4) Integrated independent infrastructure that can  coordinate deployment of food, medical, engineering and other assets to maintain the logistical requirements of the population and maintain order during the replacement process.
5) A proven commitment to the Constitution and the well being of America.
The only organization in the world that combines ALL those elements is the US armed forces.
