I personally don't think there is any single act of congress that would start Civil War II. No single act of the president and not even a single bad incident carried out under government authority.

As long as the 51% majority figures they are doing alright and don't feel the sting of being targeted by .gov, they will figure that any revolutionary acts are the venue of malcontents and nutjobs.

How many of our people have been in that predicament of being arrested and told they don't get a lawyer until after they have been charged with something, and then lots of threats and blackmail are used to wheedle some advantage out of the individual? These naysayers really have their heads in the sand over the way the feds have been operating for a long time. Heck, even your county level law enforcement task forces pretty routinely use threats, isolation and torture to get what they want.

You can look in any jail in the US and find practices that are engineered to "break down an individual" quite often on the orders of a prosecutor while the individual either has no legal access, limited legal access or a really shitty public defender who may be "equal" to the prosecutor in court but in reality commands on tenth of the resources. The result: innocent people plea bargain...

And gain, in ANY jail in the US you will find torture devices that are just modernized variants of many things used in the middle ages. The beds and chairs that someone can get chained into, concrete slabs with attachment points at the corners for chaining someone to "spread eagle" for hours. Does someone want to tell me that is not torture? The Scientology people had an exhibit of that stuff here in Downtown Portland a couple summers ago before they practically got run out of town by the "anonymous" crowd.
