Devilstower on the constitutional crisis

what choice do any of us have but to keep pounding away on the same theme, rant after rant, post after post, day after day, week after week...?
There have been some voices raised that the we are nearing a constitutional crisis. That's not true. We are in a constitutional crisis. And to lose this fight, we don't have to land in jail. We don't have to see troops on the street or get a midnight knock on the door.

[...]

We have only to worry about the events of everyday life. We have only to flip on the tube. We have only to be silent. Qui Tacet Consentit -- silence implies consent.

[...]

Every paper that is not running this story on the front page, every day, is providing a blessing to the administration's actions. Every television station that wastes a minute on celebrity gossip, is complicit in the destruction of democracy. And every one of us not actively protesting these actions is passively supporting them.

you're going to see little else on this blog except that which relates to this outrage being perpetrated on our constitutional democracy - except, of course, when one or another of us gets tired of saying the same thing ad nauseam and posts something else just to get a little relief...
