I get so sick of this. Whenever some sort of dictatorial measure is taken or proposed, the go-to cleanup is "this is the norm, this is status quo, nothing to see here." We saw it all over the fucking Bush campaign when special rendition reports and waterboarding shit was coming out. We even saw Bush (probably Cheney) writing his stupid little memos which he tried to mold into executive orders, absolving the CIA of torture. Does anyone actually buy this fucking defense?
