"Congressional oversight". "Balance of powers". "The rule of law". "Limited government". "Consent of the governed". Those things may have made sense in Madison's time, but PEOPLE HAVE ASSAULT RIFLES TODAY (and child pronography, and terrorism, and whatever other excuse we can find). We cannot be bothered with people's "rights". WE run things now, and we do it our way. -- Thanks, FBI/NSA/CIA/ /sarc
