IN RELATION TO THE WARNING given by the antifederalist "Centinel" in yesterday morning's post, that the government under the Constitution would be free to kill People without anyone stopping it,
"Centinel" believed the Constitution would "subject" American citizens
"to the most arbitrary military discipline, [and] even death may be inflicted on the disobedient; in the character of militia, you may be dragged from your families and homes to any part of the continent, and for any length of time. . . and as militia, you may be made then unwilling instruments of oppression, under the direction of government; there is no exemption upon account of conscientious scruples of bearing arms .... "
listen to the excellent Heather Cox Richardson talking about two aspects of freedom and, especially, in regard to the Trump regime blowing up the boat, killing eleven People without any restraint and which no one is going to stop him and his band of gangsters doing again whenever they want to distract from the Epstein scandal. But listen to the whole thing when you have the chance. She is really one of the best I know about.
I do have to wonder how many members of the military, the police agencies, etc. who know they are being ordered to break if not American law then international law are doing it unwillingly. Certainly some of them know what they're being ordered to do is wrong and some of them who might not care about that wonder if they might be subject to prosecution in the future. But they could refuse to follow those orders so that's not my biggest worry, it's the ones who are breaking the law and doing evil stuff knowingly and insouciantly, no doubt some of them beleiving Trump and or Vance will give them a blanket pardon like he did the insurrectionists as allowed under our dangerously flawed Constitution and the Roberts Court rubber-stamping of Republican-fascist criminality.
