Wow! We've finally arrived. Human nature itself has changed. Abuse of power is no longer a possibility, since power no longer corrupts. Tyranny has been wiped from the world and the hearts of men. And our elected officials are no less than angels with halos over their heads and sunshine and butterflies and goodness in their hearts.
How amazing our progress, that after thousands of years of human history, filled with tyranny and crime and oppression we've finally become perfect in the three short years since the Clintons held office.
Yup, you're absolutely right, restrictions and checks and balances on government are no longer needed. Hallaluia!!!
