Our so called "lawmakers" have been operating outside of the laws of the USA, laws of Congress many times, & outside of international law: indeed, Robert Gates just stated (head of Dept of Defense) there IS no international law! Golly, is that the reason for so much civil unrest? The Corps with the backing of the USA politicians who drill & kill; rule & ruin country after country like currently in the Congo; where justice has fled as well: cuz like our "politicians" said: you can do whatever you want & never be brought to justice for it; we've gotten away with it so long in the USA we want to take it globally!
