It is clear that we have a current administration drivin by zealots who care for their principles and are totally willing to disregard facts. We see this in our entry into a gratuitous war, the altering of scientific studies to match partisan dogma, the biasing of laws and judiciary in favor of particular religious positions, and now a blatant attempt to alter the foundation of this nation by writing religion into the constitution in direct violation of one of the key founding principles of this country. Is it any surprise that this administration is hostile to any and all means by which "we the people" can act. Let us remind ourselves of the first sentence of our constitution, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." We have in office an administration in direct opposition to these principles - is it not incumbent upon us to act and attempt to right the situation? ..... really pissed.....

(tongue firmly planted in cheek)

Maybe we can take advantage of the current administration's utter disregard for the Constitution they are sworn to defend and uphold, and suspend the 8th Amendment where spammers and worm/virus/whatever-writers are concerned. Assuming any of them could ever be caught, I can think of lots of devious punishments that would not normally pass Constitutional muster...
