Gerry Ford proclaimed that “our long national nightmare is over”, he followed that famous lines with these words: “Our Constitution works; our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.”
Well, just my opinion, but the nightmare doesn't seem to be over, and though the Constitution has been undercut by illegal wiretaps, suspension of habeus corpus, and other acts that we suspected "terrorists" would impose (little did we suspect that the real threat to our liberty would come from the junta that occupies the White House), at least we have a government of laws and not men (if you don't consider signing statements, and Cheney's claim that his role is not in the executive branch). Watch for "contempt of Congress" filings in the future.
Seems that if there's nothing to hide, a whole lot of effort is being exerted to hide something.
Oh, at least Ford was right when he said, "here the people rule." Yeah, right?

Well....apparently Congress is culpable for all of the above as well,for they surely voted for the Patriot Act and subsequent urgent invasions of our precious rights! If the "Breck Boy" is wrong, and the WOT isn't just a bumper sticker, then you people are going to be "mighty inconvenienced" when the terrorists come to our land!
