If the establishment is raping the Constitution for the sake of convenience
Then guilty as charged.
The thing about you that makes me want to scream is you don't seem to value your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution as much as I value my oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
I'll die before I violate mine.
I honestly think that time is approaching for me and others that do what I do. If not death then lenghty prison stays as it has happened in other nations as the road to tyranny was completed. Judges and lawyers are often the first victims of "indefinite detention."

I've risked jobs--looked bosses in the face and told them I wouldn't do what they demanded--and jail time (I can think of several times where I could smell the bologna sandwiches) for mine.
Yes, you've had bullets whiz past your head; seen your comrades maimed and killed; and for all I know possess multiple Purple Hearts. I am NOT doubting your courage.
I do have doubts about whether you'd risk life in prison because an order given to you was wrong/illegal/immoral and you knew it.
That is what troubles me and compels me to have these "conversations" with you.
