The opposition figure was even higher – 97 percent – when surveyors asked: "Should the Bush administration be allowed to move forward with its plans to create a "North American Community' without congressional approval? A still-high 88 percent opposed the suggestion that the "United States should be 'harmonized' or merged into a union with Mexico or Canada," the survey said.

Law would make Minutemen guilty of 'domestic terrorism'

Link: WorldNetDaily: Law would make Minutemen guilty of 'domestic terrorism'.

A. An individual or group of individuals commits domestic terrorism if the individual or group of individuals are not affiliated with a local, state or federal law enforcement entity and associate with another individual or group of individuals as an organization, group, corporation or company for the purpose of patrolling to detect alleged illegal activity or to individually patrol for the purpose of detecting alleged illegal activity and if the individual or group of individuals is armed with a firearm or other weapon.

You mean, like this?  The groups I participated in were well armed (especially during the July '05 incident) but there was a third group (Friends of the Border Patrol) I did not participate with because that group's rules limited carry to LEO's only.  Predictably, that group ended up being assaulted by a mob, resulting in injuries and theft of membership lists, etc.  The border is a dangerous place.  (And as jimmyb of Conservative UAW Guy reminds us: free speech isn't free.)

Treason (Wikipedia)

For brief discussion of treason, sedition, see Link: Treason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.  Excerpt:

In 1964, the anti-Communist activist John A. Stormer wrote a book called None Dare Call It Treason, which unexpectedly sold seven million copies with little or no advertising. The title phrase comes from a 17th-century epigram by John Harington:

Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

Can small arms be a check on government?

Link: The Volokh Conspiracy - James Madison, Gun Nut:#171608.  Excerpt from an anonymous comment on Volokh Conspiracy, responding to a contention that small arms could not effectively check the power of a better-armed government:

Small arms such as a single-shot deringer, a semi-automatic pistol, .22 revolver, a bolt action rifle, a modern military type rifle, heck, couldn't even a simple knife be considered a potential check on government, or at least on those who govern? Looking at history it would appear to me that small arms are quite capable of being a “check” on those who govern.
