Could you summarize your broad brush characterization in say 50,000 words or less - without your War on Drugs agenda? :-)
What War on Drugs agenda?
The point isn't the WoD, the point is that the Constitution is utterly ignored in favor of "tradition"1/expedience2/false-moral-superiority3; the War on Drugs is merely the best single-instance of a unified policy that clearly illustrates all these disregards across all branches of government.
Or, given the comment about 50,000 words, are you asking me to write a book?
1 - Precedence, for example, is used in the judaical-branch to ignore the Constitution. The "grunts" in the executive will gladly say we've always done that
or we do that over here, too
when questioned/challenged on contraconstitutional laws.
2 - Rule by Executive Order in the executive-branch, ruling in favor of exigent circumstances
in the judicial, allowing the burearchy (beaurcrats making rule/regulation/"law) to run rampant in the legislative-branch.
3 - “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.” — CS Lewis
