Does the Union even exist anymore?

Here is a challenge for the attorneys in our audience, from a letter to the editor of Vermont Commons:

Dear Vermont Commons Editor,
As April 15th approaches and the populace sends its tribute to the Emperor, here's a theater piece that I'd like to see:

I'd like to see a stage full of lawyers debating whether or not this political construct called the United States of America actually exists any more. I'm willing to bet that there is not one lawyer anywhere on the planet that could successfully argue that the political construct which the Founding Fathers envisioned and which the Constitution defines is still in existence -- eitherin this dimension or in any other!

In fact, I bet some of the history students at BUHS [a high school in Vermont] could wipe the floor with one lawyer after another. Let's get the best and the brightest up here ... Alan Dershowitz, for example, to argue that it is our moral imperative to bomb and torture one-third of the planet -- as I'm sure he would argue. And that, yes, it is the American way!

What do you say? Are there any lawyers out there who would take me up on my challenge? It would be great fun. It could go on for weeks--a marathon theater piece. And, in the end, we'd be faced with having to answer these questions: What happened to the United States? And just what exactly has this country become?

I'd love to see it in Ohio, especially given the passionate support the Empire still enjoys among a portion of our populaton!
