Re: Common Ground? *LINK*
In Response To: Common Ground? ()

well - looks like obama and bush like to interpret the constitution in what many would view as "unconstitutional" in everything from civil liberties violations to illegal wars to extorting taxpayer money for large vested monied interests - you name it. talk about "breaking the law" - the precedent here has already been set by well connected people who get away with much much more without the bat of an eye.

while these squatters might be "breaking the law" and/or interpreting the constitution in a "flip the script" type of fashion - one which makes the individual the focal point of government and whose rights are the foundation from which government should operate and any violations of said contract is a violation of the constitution(for the sovereign citizens) or claiming community and social equity trump corporate and state power(for the take back the land folks) - it seems the issue is when "regular folks" - whether black or white claim right to do what only certain well connected people do all the time.

if a bank can foreclose on someone who was fraudulently induced to take out a mortgage - or a bank can participate in the creation of mortgage backed securities that then go to well connected developers who then build homes/properties only to flip them and get bailed out by the tax payer - the logic gets really fuzzy when the state decides to tell people they can't occupy vacant homes. if we want the rule of law - it has to apply across the board - for everyone. if not - well then we have entered the slippery slope whereby there are some above the law - who have the resources of the state's increasingly draconian tactics to maintain their position of privilege(and can get away with what accounts to capital crime) - and then the rest of us.
