Making Amends: A Mini-Manifesto
Francis W. Porretto's Eternity Road - about the necessary actions when the corrupt-beyond-repair US government and economy collapse. [westernrifleshooters]
We will never, ever, put an end to the dreams and machinations of the power-seekers unless we punish those among us with proper severity. Among our current officials are several overt traitors: men who took oaths to defend the Constitution, and have done the exact opposite. Of these, I count one president, four Supreme Court Justices, and hundreds of federal legislators. Unless these are dragged from their hidey-holes as was Saddam Hussein, and executed or incarcerated for life, there will be no respite from the pressure of closet totalitarians and social engineers against our polity. Men to whom power over others is the ultimate satisfaction will seek it relentlessly, until the price for doing so becomes both ultimate and inevitable.

Exile?
I think they will anyway, figuring that sort of thing is what happens to the other guy. While the indicated individuals no doubt deserve it, I am still inclined toward outlawry and exile.
My concern, based on my reading of human nature and history, is that it would start with those guys, and then move on (ahem) to others who also likely deserve it, and then to still others who thunk like the ones who deserve it do but didn't really do much of anything, and finally to the guy who cut Robespierre off in traffic yesterday morning, and then you got you an honest-to-Pete Terror. Doesn't appeal to me much.
