Recent events have revealed that those who want to abandon the Constitution and find exceptions in time of crisis are those who really didn't believe in it to begin with.

Thank you for writing this, it sums up my take quite well. I have had it with folks bleating, "Well, when we're in a time of war, blah, blah, blah ..." as some kind of justification for stuff going on and I'm a bit confused. Has Congress passed that Declaration of War yet? Or did I miss them voting an open-ended extension of time to the War Powers Act, whereby the president can get to do what he wants as long as he wants, no Congressional control whatsoever??

Yeah. This boils my blood, too.
