Men of zeal...without understanding

The revelations of secret DOJ opinions justifying executive omnipotence is the clearest example of what the previous administration was about: the aggregation of power.

There is nothing conservative about ignoring the 4th amendment.
There is nothing democratic about ignoring Posse Comitatus.
There is nothing constitutional about secret law.

These memos were written in service to the ideology of power.

You can do this, Mr. President, because you asked your loyal servants if you could.
...we think that the better view is that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to domestic military operations designed to deter and prevent further terrorist attacks.
Just think on that for a second. Ponder the limitless action justified by such a statement.

Any political party that doesn't immediately denounce such apostasy isn't worthy of participating in government.
