I don't think that Ron (and I certainly don't) thinks we should just bend over and take it from the pirates. It's just that Bush has gone to great lengths to skirt the Constitution and that sets a dangerous tone for future administrations......But, I'm still reading thru it so I could be wrong.
yeah, I generally love Ron's committment to the Constitution and all, but I think he has a doctrinair's weakness. Fortuitously, we still have enough of a republic left that our president can get the lead out without having to submit to a plebecite (site?) for every contingency.
Prez has the authority to act as a monarch, by design when the need arises: and I think the need has arisen.
