I think that at this point, the Constitution and the body of Law built up in the country can't be saved, and we need to start over. That would never happen. I wonder what the history is of countries building a system of government and law from prima facia? Some revolutions and dethronements of royalty must have worked that way.
Really, this goes back at least to the War of Slaveholding Capitalists. Lincoln never declared war against the Confederacy, and Congress refused to push him on it, since international law and Supreme Court precedent were built around the assumption that the opponents were both countries, and a formal declaration of war might have the unintended result of acknowledging the Confederacy as a foreign country (with the rights thereof) instead of an insurgency.
That should be the case, but Congress has very clearly granted the Executive the right to start military action at nearly any scale. He is only required to NOTIFY Congress within 30 days. After that it's up to them to fund or not.
That was my experience when I briefly tried a TWM, the parts bin approach is very cool but I need my computer to work NOW, I can't take two weeks to play with it. A package sounds good...
If you don't use Gnome or KDE or one of the other big DEs, do you basically have no (user facing GUI) programs installed by default? If so, don't you end up installing a bunch of programs from one of those anyway?
BT jumpships have a cool design, with a HUGE deployable solar sail to recharge their capacitor bank for the next Kearny-Fuschida jump. I'll grant you that they aren't much to look at.
Same here. I've never seen it in the real world.
