By what authority is the NSA's spying done?
Shut up! National Security!
By what authority is the IRS's targeting done?

Shut up! A central bank is good!
By what authority is the state-sponsored terrorism known as Fast & Furious done?
Shut up! Government sting operation gone bad!
By what authority is the War on Drugs done?
Shut up! Interstate commerce regulation!
Even drugs that were grown at home and never sold?
Shut up! Drugs are bad, m'kay.
