Slip-Sliding Into Tyranny: The New American Way...

[redcliffsw]

But where are America's sworn defenders of the Constitution? With raised arms, all federal officeholders mouth the words, "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same..."

Where are the Democrats who made that vow, those who were worked into a frenzy by the Patriot Act and Bush's abuses of the Constitution, including warrantless eavesdropping?

Where are they now that Obama's abuses are out-bushing Bush?

They are in the same silent space occupied by the Republicans who denounced Clinton's unconstitutional and undeclared warfare until Bush went to war without a declaration.

It is a silent space large enough to accommodate all the Republican and Democrats alike who make empty vows of empty words.

Believing not one thing or the other.......
