Dick Cheney at the Federalist Society... Elections...? What elections...?

translation courtesy of glenn greenwald...

Cheney translated: We are at war, and we will be forever, and the war is Everywhere, even in our Homeland, and as a result, unlimited power is vested in our Leader, who will use it for your own Good, to protect you, because the Leader is Good and he loves you.

besides being an excellent translator, glenn also never fails to provide definitive insight...

It is worth reminding ourselves -- as the Vice President just made quite clear again-- that the pathological individuals who occupy the White House do not recognize the power of the law or the power of the courts to limit what they can do. Therefore, the fact that Democrats now control the Congress will be of little concern to them, because the most the Democrats can do is enact little laws or issue cute, little Subpoenas --- but, as the Vice President just said, they think that nothing can "tie the hands of the President of the United States in the conduct of a war." And he means that.

I hope Democrats in Congress recognize that and are prepared to do something about it. This constitutional crisis will exist until it's confronted.

this is very, very serious shit, my friends... anyone, myself included, who breathed a sigh of relief following last week's elections, had better gird their loins for the battles to come, which may make the battles we've been fighting seem pale by comparison...

(thanks to lukery at wot is it good 4...)
