2. That is the philosophy many have. It was a horror when identified as some of their actual beliefs.

They believe they are picked by God and so do not have to live up to any law, however if there actions are not in love, then they fail in that claim, since that is how laws are fulfilled without law, and then they are liable not only to the law, but to the enforcement to come.

That's my view on it, but I could be wrong, nobody knows the mind of God, but some do claim to, so they can self justify their own actions, so either by now seeing, or by claiming to see, they lose the excuse of ignorance.

3. We need names
They should be tried for treason. I make this claim because they have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution. By not doing their job and protecting the people of this country they are weakening this country. So they are opening it up to attack so they are treasonous.
