I would add:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signing statements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/04/30/bush_challenges_hundreds_of_laws/"&gt; Bush 750 &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/04/30/examples_of_the_presidents_signing_statements/"&gt;Specific examples&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama has already racked up 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/09/army_homeland_090708w/"&gt;The Third Brigade&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia, and Somalia USA and UN on others&lt;br /&gt;Law of the Sea Treaty, Small arms trafficking treaty, North American Security ad Prosperity Zone (NAU)  UN and others on USA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 100-mile constitution free zone where private land owners must accept border patrol agents rent-free&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gitmo's Military tribunals. Even the &lt;a href="http://www.antiwar.com/ips/fisher.php?articleid=12390"&gt;head JAG says the &amp;quot;trials&amp;quot; are a sham&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers,...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurds against Turkey and Iraq&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia, Somalia, Vietnam, Korea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Whether US citizens like Padilla and others or foreign nationals at Gitmo, Enemy combatants are the definition of &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/outlaw"&gt;out law; outside the protection of the Law&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and if you squawk about your rights and/or the Constitution that is &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/23/fusion-centers-expand-criteria-identify-militia-members/"&gt;prima facia evidence to the Regime you are an enemy combatant; Beyond the protection of Law&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted by: &lt;a href="http://WashburnsWorld.blogspot.com"&gt;John Washburn&lt;/a&gt;</description>
