I wonder, @ what point does it go from "terrorists" acts and become a civil war?
Also, who is it that would make the official declaration anyway?

That is the army. The army isn't planning to go out onto the streets and start shooting at American citizens. That quote that keeps coming up, "When they say 'their enemies,' they're talking about YOU." Can you see the army marching down the street and start zapping kids who are littering?

I agree, that will be fascinating, and I know this announcement is bound to be released sometime soon. The thing is, I don't think that it could be considered a valid prediction, because, like I said, this experiment was being worked on for the past 70 years. The scientists at CERN know that they could accidentally create a microsingularity, which is why they're so careful with it.
Story:
Following a great increase in terrorism, internal strife, and ultimately, the nuclear destruction of Washington, D.C., the United States shatters into a half-dozen nation-states that descend into war. Take the helm of one of these newfound sovereignties (or the "peacekeeping" European Expeditionary Force) and struggle to reunify America...by any means necessary!
Features:
Modern 3D tactical war game viewed from a "bird's-eye" overhead camera.
Non-linear mission progression with changes based on player-made decisions.
Real-time resolution of turned-based moves. Take your time while you decide your move, but once you have selected your action, see the results all play out in full animation models, exploding vehicles, and burning cities and forests!
Fully destructible terrain/environment. As the battle proceeds, everything from explosions and destroyed buildings permanently mark the terrain. Moving tanks will leave tread marks that stay for the duration of the mission. At the end, very little will look the same.
Fight your way across the United States! Had enough of the windy city? Then go ahead and bomb Chicago! Invade across the Rockies into California, capture the tank factories in Ohio, and lay siege to New York City! You decide - the fate of the nation is in your hands!
Choose to play as one of seven different factions: California Commonwealth, Pacifica, Republic of Texas, Great Plains Federation, The Confederacy, New England Alliance and the European Union.
Call up National Guard forces equipped with M1 Abrams battle tanks, Apache helicopters and stealth bombers. Or make a deal with the Russians and equip your boys with MiG fighters and T-95 Heavy Tanks.
Online and offline multiplayer on all platforms.

...at least in video game form. It's not a rich vs. poor game, but consists of America shattered into six pieces which you must re-unite

Dear god, please don't spam the thread.
THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP. PEOPLE OF ATS, I NEED YOUR HELP
I need some real, reliable proof which prooves or disprooves JT's story. Just one thread of evidence. No taser attacks, no LiveJournal posts, no Babylon books, no laser picture. Please, this is getting real old, real fast.

When Non-Lethal Weapons Aren't
by MG William A. Flatt
Late last year, increasing concern over the lethality of Taser stun guns and similar devices began to be reported in the independent media. Only now in mid-February does the mainstream media report on the apparent facts surrounding the potential lethality of so-called "non-lethal" weapons. At issue is Taser International's claim that their products, used by thousands of police departments nationwide, will absolutely 'not cause harm'. They even say it's OK to use tasers on kids! [1]
Of course, most concerned patriots remember how CS 'tear gas', a powder banned for use in warfare, was used on the Branch Davidians at Waco in 1993 - and how the manner in which this so-called "non-lethal" weapon was used to immolate more than 80 innocent men, women and children.
I have long asserted to people I know that non-lethal weapons can be made lethal by deliberate misuse. When these weapons get misused, the perpetrator generally is shielded from the consequences of their crime while acting under the color of law, because such weapons are deliberately misconstrued by their manufacturers and some government officials as "safe".

Roth Joint - Roberts is nothing more than the perfect candidate. He has never had to make a controversial issue in his life, has a record of 2 years on a court as a judge, and the only arguements arising about him are: abortion, some lame duck federalist group, and further lame duck arguements over his faith. All the arguements against him are weak.
Please give some info as to where Roberts dissents from the constitution involving the issue of property rights.
Bush did not appoint him to 'save the country'. Bush sooner or later would have to appoint someone, Roberts was just the perfect candidate.
July 22 (Bloomberg) -- Despite his mild manner and Midwestern charm, the nomination of John G. Roberts Jr. to the Supreme Court is a seismic event that threatens to deepen the nation's red-blue divide.
What we already know from Roberts's record is cause for concern. His legal career is studded with activities unfriendly to civil rights, abortion rights, and the environment.
Last year, for example, he wrote an opinion rejecting the civil rights claims of 12-year-old Ansche Hedgepeth, who was arrested, searched, handcuffed, booked, and detained by police for eating a single french fry in a subway station in violation of D.C. law. Although an adult committing the same infraction would have received only a citation under D.C. law, Roberts said the police's treatment of Hedgepeth served the ``goal of promoting parental awareness and involvement with children who commit delinquent acts.''

The battle over property rights is not a conservative versus liberal thing. It's more a struggle between those who believe in the power of the state to dictate how we get to use our land and homes versus those of us who believe that the state has no business destroying our right to make reasonable use of our property.
But if an 87 year old Connecticut widow can have her property rights destroyed, how about dozens of elderly landowners, many of them widows and widowers, near Lake Tahoe?
That is where Judge Roberts comes in.
In a notorious case in 2002, John Roberts, then a private attorney, argued that several dozen mostly elderly and middle class landowners should not receive a penny in compensation even after a local land use agency had prohibited all use of their property near Lake Tahoe for nearly 30 years.
In a nutshell, Roberts argued that impacts to property owners must be balanced against the utility of the regulation–in a way that tilts almost every time in the government's favor. Unfortunately for the landowners, the Court agreed with him.
