奧巴馬架空美國憲法，憲法政府向帝國政府轉型 (中英文對照)

是的，這是真的，但沒有得到美國國會批准-- 參照美利堅合眾國憲法第一章第八條！（見今天的紐約時報，p.A11）。這揭示了我們國家正在從憲法政府向帝國政府轉型。

第一，「宣戰」的權力已經從國會滑向總統。
第二，這個權力又從總統滑到將軍：見理查德克拉克的「網路戰」，2010年。克拉克聲稱一般在開戰前就要做好陣地戰的準備。這對於網路戰來說更是如此，在發射戰斧式導彈和出動戰機前，美國已經關閉了利比亞的通訊系統。
第三，「宣戰」權通過我們的將軍又傳遞到了佛羅里達州的軍隊辦事員。比如這些辦事員控制無人機發射導彈殺死葉門具體的個人，雖然葉門不是美國的交戰國。那麼葉門總統會不會認為這是「宣戰」？因為我們的將軍「當然」是代表國家了。雖然暗殺可能一直是我們的中央情報局的現行慣例，這些也有天大的理由- 但是這種暗殺行為和宣戰是無法比的。

    這只是諸多例子當中的一個，這表明我們的憲法正在被架空。布希總統授權對國內公民通訊非法'竊聽'，違反了憲法第四修正案（隱私保護）。這種違反在奧巴馬總統的領導下繼續進行。今天看到紐約時報，第A17中）。美國憲法的作用和對憲法的遵循在奧巴馬總統的領導下變的更加不堪。

    總之，憲法正日益變得過時，它已成為茶黨分子的崇拜偶像，卻背離了在1787年時通過憲法時的初衷 -- 為「創造一個更完美的社會」，憲法應該是一個有效的治理工具。

Yes, that's true, but it was not approved by the U.S. Congress- - per Art.I, section 8 of the Constitution of the United States of America! (see The NYT today, p.A11). This point highlights a steady morphing of our constitutional government to imperial government. The power to "declare war" has migrated from Congress to the President, and second, from the President to generals: see Richard A. Clarke's "Cyber War," 2010. Clarke claims a general needs to prepare the battle field in advance of the war he expects/wants to fight. This is particularly true for cyber war which the U.S. used to shut down Libya's communication systems prior to launching its Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets.
    Third, declaring war has been delegated by our generals to army clerks in Florida who trigger drone missiles to kill specific individuals in Yemen, a country not at war with the U.S.A. If the Yemen's President approved those killings, apparently our generals have delegated (???) Congress's power "to declare war" to the president of a foreign nation. While covert killings may have been an on-going practice of our CIA, these have been covert actions for a damned good reason - these are illegal minus the context of a declared war.
    This is one of many examples on the increasing obsolesces of Constitution. President Bush illegally authorized 'wiretapping' citizens communication within the US; a violation of the 4th Amendment (privacy protection). This sort of violation is continuing under President Obama. See the NYT today, p. A17). The utility/vitality of Constitution of the United States is not fairing much better under President Obama.
    In summary, the Constitution is increasingly becoming obsolete; its has become more an icon of worship for the Tea Party folks than a utilitarian tool of governance 'to create a more perfect union,' its primary purpose when it was adopted in 1787.
