A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.

The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.

[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

    The rights themselves are given by God, so they are literally what is considered sacred. The Constitution itself is not sacred, but meant to lay out a form of government that will defend and uphold those rights.

    In that way it is possible to feel religious devotion for the God-given rights and also utter contempt for what the government has become. The rights trump the constitution, and the founders themselves said explicitly that should a government become injurious to those rights that citizens have a duty to do away with it. That is the historical moment at which we have arrived.

      Here you go [ushistory.org], one of the foundational documents of the United States, in case you haven't read it before. I particularly draw your attention to the first two paragraphs.
