The suicidal aspect of our Constitution is that it generally takes forever to get anything done.

I don't know if it is true, but in the Hansen story about the FBI man who sold national security secrets to the Soviets, he remarked on how the agents all complained about having to do surveilance duty on the Soviets on Sunday, and that the Bureau eventually debanded the detail to trail suspect Soviet agents on Sunday because there was so much griping about having to protect the country seven days a week, not just six.
Naturally, Sunday was the day the Soviet agents all chose to do their dirty deeds.
