  The FED is so damn unconstitutional. Can we *please* just end it now? Before the dollar collapses?! Is there *no* sanity to be found in the republic anymore?

  Nyet, the will of the people is to have unlimited power to borrow and spend without having to produce anything. That desire is pretty much 100% incompatible with sound money, so sound money you shall not have. I thought this was all obvious but maybe there are still a few people out there who don't understand it yet.

  This is truly outrageous! Do we no longer live in a free nation?
  
  Let's hope some Federal judge throws the book at the scofflaws at the Fed.
  Bernanke deserves to rot in a jail cell.
  
  Surely if we can grant "rights" to enemy combatants under the Bill of Rights, we can allow our citizens to see the truth of how our government is spending the tax dollars of future generations.

  Yeah, like the whores in Congress will do anything about it. Please, all they care about is how much money they can raise for the next cycle.

  Good point, Metalhead.
  
  Obvious solution: gift some suitable securities to some enemy combatants (names available from ACLU court filings), and then sue the FED on their behalf for disclosure of the facts, petitioning the same judges who discovered their "rights" under the FOI act.
