Well,the fact that the president now has the right to kill an American citizen with no due process is a pretty good example.

- kyboren 14y agoThe president now asserts the right, but he does not actually have it. If our ossified judicial system has any remaining merit, he will (eventually) be called to account for his unlawful use of military force--assuming his successor doesn't pull a Ford and pardon him. EDIT: Good point.
- parasubvert 14y agoHow about the unlawful use of torture by the prior regime? This stuff goes back a ways, are you going to put every living former commander in chief on trial?
