Quote of the Day
Welcome to 21st century America:
It's called a cry for fascism. Pretty much what the Nazis said back when Germany was still a democracy and the Bolsheviks before power corrupted the previously powerless.
We're not just living through the twilight of Western civilization and return to barbarism (Robert E. Howard of all people pretty much nailed it) but the end of the American experiment in democracy as well. I mean, really, things will not get appreciably better once this administration is history.

And from the same article, this:
"But I do believe that especially in the day and age we live in, the nature of the threats of we face -- and this is true during the Cold War as well as I think is true now -- the president of the United States needs to have his constitutional powers unimpaired, if you will, in terms of the conduct of national security policy," the vice president said.OK: what's the provision in the Constitution given the president the power to ignore laws of the land?
