Tinyurl.com Before I make the follow-up video to the 9/11 Tiles for America Memorial video, I have to comment on a trend that pushes us closer to having to build more memorials to future victims of horrors which we have an obligation to prevent. The trend of ignoring the rule of law when discussing potential military actions. There are enormous advantages and benefits to having a civilized society so we must demand our right to have a civilized society and call out those who ignore constitutional law. Public discourse should reenforce civilized society not constantly work against it. The rule of law is the foundation of a civilized society. Omitting the illegality of a specific military action you are discussing undermines efforts to keep our society and politicians civilized. What they are discussing, Israel or the US bombing Iran, would be a war crime. That should be said every time this insanity is discussed. thinkprogress.org thinkprogress.org Pass it On: bit.ly www.youtube.com

It is now known that Barry Soetoro, AKA Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago. The real truth is that Barack Obama was merely an 'instructor' at Chicago Law School, not a professor. He was only hired because the Board of Trustees demanded that he be given a temporary position. The position was nothing more than a political stepping stool. The other professors hated him because he was lazy, unqualified, never attended any of the faculty meetings. He was said to have had the lowest intellectual capacity in the building. He surrendered his license back in 2008 possibly to escape charges. Michelle Obama also "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993 www.examiner.com Michelle says Kenya is Barry's home country.

The Paul M. Bator Award was established in 1989 in memory of Professor Paul M. Bator, a renowned scholar and teacher of federal courts and constitutional law. Professor Bator taught at Harvard Law School from 1959 to 1982 and from 1983 to 1985, and at the University of Chicago from 1985 until his untimely death in 1989. He also served as Principal Deputy Solicitor General in 1982 and 1983. The award is given annually to a young academic (under 40) who has demonstrated excellence in legal scholarship, a commitment to teaching, a concern for students, and who has made a significant public impact. This year's award was presented to Prof. Todd Henderson of the University of Chicago Law School during the Federalist Society's 2010 Student Symposium Banquet. Mr. Prerak Shah of the University of Chicago Student Chapter introduced Prof. Henderson.

Norovirus strikes Florida Elementary school hisz.rsoe.hu The Choice: Rationalize The Crime, Or Follow Your Conscience In the event of an economic collapse, many rationalizations will be used to manipulate the military and the public into conforming to martial law. Military men and women will be told that it is necessary to maintain a sense of order, and without this order, many people will die, and the country will fall to ruin. They will also be told that anyone who opposes martial law is simply an extremist, and that these people should be dealt with accordingly. The public will be told that while the government along with central banks did in fact trigger the financial crisis, it was merely an accidental blunder and that the only solution is to dissolve personal liberties for our own safety and the greater good. We will be told that these restrictions are temporary, and that one day our rights will be returned once all is well again. Eventually, when these rights are not returned as promised, they will tell us that the Constitution is an outdated concept, that its tenets are no longer feasible in our modern age of terrorism, that we must progress to a more realistic way of constructing and governing our society.

In addition to touching on government spending and the bankster bailout, Palin said the underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab should have been grilled before he was read his Miranda rights. Neocon Sarah sets her sights on the Tea Party movement. We need a commander in chief, not a professor of constitutional law, she said, according to the Wichita Eagle. In fact, Obama was not a professor of constitutional law. He was a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles, not that we should expect Palin (or her script writers) to get it right. Palin, the darling of the Tea Party movement (or the one hijacked by statist neocons), is merely echoing the Republican idea that supposed terrorists accused by the government do not deserve Fifth Amendment protection and should be shuffled off to the torture camp at Gitmo straight away. In other words, if the government says somebody is a terrorist then they do not have a right to remain silent. If the government says youre a terrorist, well then by gosh you must be one. Neocons say skipping the Fifth Amendment is crucial in such cases because the government needs to get actionable intelligence from terror suspects.

Simons, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, argues that Southeast Asia, and especially Indonesia, will be the next hot spot in the war on terror.
