So, we've been having an in office argument on the ability for the citizenry to reinstate govermental standards if the us government has stepped beyond the bounds of the constitution.. happily, I won... even if they do call my point obscure

Christine does have a point, however obscure. The constitution empowers citizen militias to uphold the constitution and defend against insurrections. An insurrection can be defined as an elected group of politicians disobeying their sworn oath to office. In this case, the constitution does not bar citizens from overthrowing that governing body. I do not think this would stand up in the Supreme Court, but one could interpret it this way.
