Deplorable logic. It has not yet been demonstrated to my own satisfaction -- or to the satisfaction of most posters here -- that conservative government (in general) or this administration (in particular) has any problem re: "power and its abuses." Unlike, say, the Clinton White House.

You simply can't be serious, you are either being facetious or you're outright scary!

I grant you that 9/11 made it new ball game, but (IMHO) martial law should have been declared with automatic, periodic, specified reviews of all subsequent, related legislation.

Conservative, not partisan The terms in your tagline are reversed. See to that.
