Re: <nettime> COUP 2K

Fascinating posting.

There are two serious allegations in this posting 
which should be straightforward to prove or disprove.

Specifically:

ed marszewski:

If either or both of these were proven to be true, it 
would demonstrate that the rule of law has broken down 
in the United States.  Especially the second allegation.

Is anyone in a position to check these allegations ?
Fpr example, the Congressional Record might or might 
not have the appropriate information.
