Sovereign: 1 a monarch or other supreme ruler; 2 a body of persons or a state having sovereignity. Middle English=soverain Old French=soverain Vulgar Latin=super+anus Eureka! Or perhaps Yreka! I have figured out why a small group of people have been attempting to destroy the sovereignity of democratically representative States/nations!
Anus=Uranus. I am just going to go over this quickly & may or may not bother with putting up the many links regarding signing statements putting himself above the law he is signing. But-I first noticed & noted it when JonBenet's parents "declined" to go to the police station for questioning, etc. I didn't think it was optional, to be honest. Later, Condi ignored a subpoena-she was too busy or something, then more who fancy themselves above the laws of the U.S.(as well as ALL other nations) also ignored subpoenas.
Thinking back to Bill Clinton & the absolute testeria the Neocons made about the President lying!!! I compared the vastly different styles of #42 & #43 & have found Hypocrisy Inc. I know, painfully obvious, tribal-based systems judge 1 guilty or innocent not by acts taken but by membership of tribe. You're either with the "in crowd" or you're out & therefore guilty. They never let reality interfere with their decisions, or at least they try not to let reality dictate to them-does reality even know who they are? These people feel what they say overrides reality.
Recently read an article that describes how difficult it is to get these kinds of people to see the unvarnished truth, i.e. something as simple as agreeing on whether it's night or day.
"There's No Arguing With Conservatives ... No, Seriously, Scientific Studies Prove It
Dan Sweeney" From the Washington Post article on the study, which came out on September 15th.

They call it the 'backfire effect', if someone uses facts to try to prove a false view false the crazy clings like a barnicle to the fantasy twice as hard. This is all throughout America, I can't speak for other countries but I would expect it to spread with evangelism. Faith-based people are extremely vulnerable to this, it amounts to a contest of emotions, of who walks away feeling they won, never mind the facts, mission accomplished.
My father is one of these people & for him nothing after 1982 is real. He has what I call a recording or speel(don't know how to spell it but..)& he just starts when anything uncomfortable for him is said/written by me. He, like the Neocons, genuinely feels my facts are an attack on him & how he feels toward his made-up world. Any attempts to puncture his bubble is felt not as a rescue but as an attack.
It's the same only this is on a national/world scale. I can easily imagine a European making disparaging-but-true comments(unfortunately, wish it weren't true) & getting slagged by Americans. It's more prevalent among conservatives & rare among liberals, but I would probably be able to get at the lib's vulnerable spot-it's a gift.
So 'rendering' started under #42 & the trust slug can't resist open derision for rules, treaties, & laws. It's typical of those born to wealth-see F Scott Fitzgerald for some examples, also various gossip sites online & off for the outrageous pompousness of the rich & stupid. Stupid because they don't know 'how-to' yet insist on being in charge. See the Janissaries & how they fared http://www.mikeantonucci.com/janissaries.htm
http://www.allaboutturkey.com/yeniceri.htm http://lexicorient.com/e.o/janissaries.htm The way I see it was they became so 'elite' that wealthy mothers insisted their idiot sons be members & that was that, generally.
Signing statement links, apparently I cared enough to bother this time
