And what punishments would you want for when those dotted i's & crossed t's are ignored? The absence of sanctions for violations (and looking at the founders with a little more scrutiny) has me thinking more and more things are exactly as the founders had in mind.

The hostilities of the 1860's, the round up & detention of American citizens in the 1940's, & the firearms confiscations during Katrina should get you to talking about the group mentioned in your last sentence as well.
