    Quite right. Someone should have impressed Bush to “Be careful what you wish for.” Bush and Cheney set precedents of abuse. They should have considered how they might be even more grievously abused in the hands of future administrations. I am reading Constitutional Peril by Bruce Fein right now. It is generally about the overall historical disregard of the constitution with a focus on the Bush- Cheney years. The Patriot act and so much more was done to facilitate further empowering the executive branch at the expense of the constitutional checks and balances and encouraging big government. Now we see the fruits of this thinking in the form of threats of death from the sky without due process. Here is how he feels about Mr. Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPeSCFfie... & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZTrfP-fT...

    They're such wastes of humanity. There is history being made by Sen. Paul calling out the thugs, and asking them to explain their reasoning. (Or lack thereof).

    I said that to my kids last night, that he must have to get a "relief" break in there, though any liquid in his body is being burned up pretty quickly. He's going to be hoarse for a few days, I'm guessing.

    I've always considered the Paul's to be a little weird, but any guy with a name like "Rand" is okay in my book, especially tonight.

    There was apparently some comment tweeted that said lets hellfire Rand and put an end to his "cafe" time. Give it to the left to never waste an opportunity to threaten violence against those who oppose their agenda.

    you see that slimeball from Illinios and his minion next to him slithering out a let's have a hearing at some vague time in the future, to you know, just talk about this-look at the smirk on the minion's face. I'm sorry folks, this was fostered under Bush. and the Patriot Act.
