February 7th, 2014, Sentencing at DeWitt

3. Judge convicts and issues order of protection
[text] "This has to stop." Hence the orders of protection.
Judge Gideon explains his decision, and the orders of protection, as a delicate balance. Don't interfere with the ability of the Pepsi man to restock the pop-machines in a timely fashion with orange Fanta.

Probably our fault that he missed the point that this is an illegal program of assassination, extra judicial killing, summary execution, a high crime, and properly before the judiciary. It is not only a moral issue, but a legal issue, and not only an international crime, but an unconstitutional usurpation of power, and violation of the 5th amendment. If it is done under "war powers", can the Nobel Peace Prize winner and the others in the unitary executive branch kill anyone, anywhere, that they determine, under the theory that we have been invited into a counter-revolutionary struggle by a local tyrant, to kill his people, or people of a like mind in a neighboring country, and that the term "theater of war" includes a busy restaurant in a peaceful neighborhood, or a cafe?
If so, say so, but stop complaining about all the suicide bombers.
