Four US soldiers plotted to assassinate Barack Obama and overthrow the government, a court has heard.

One, private Michael Burnett, has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and gang charges in the killings last December of former soldier Michael Roark and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Tiffany York.

Burnett said that Roark, who had just left the army, knew of the militia group's plans and was killed because he was "a loose end."

Prosecutor Isabel Pauley said the group bought $87,000 (£55,000) of guns and bomb-making materials and plotted to take over Fort Stewart, bomb targets in Savannah and Washington state, as well as assassinate the president.

Not that I justify such acts, but I can see why. Courts rule you don't have the right to challenge the president's status a citizen. Force the public into Obama care. Court also rules in favor of Obama. Gee I wonder why people are upset.

There's really a simple and peaceful solution for those troubling issues - change one's status from that of a 'US citizen'. Learn to recognize the innerworkings of a legal fiction (that in reality does not exist).

Definitely understand where you are coming from there. But on the other side of the coin. How long will it be before the government decides to no longer let you decide on which jurisdiction you recognize and which one you don't?
