Today, the President is sovereign, NOT the people.
Our Constitution doesn't allow that.
The U.N. doesn't have the "right" to send our nation into war. That is a Congressional power.
We are supposed to be a Republic, with laws based upon our written Constitution.
With the President usurping the legislative power of war, and the Patriot Act legally superseding the Bill of Rights, our Rule of Law has been shown to be a toothless vestige of yesteryear.
