Quote of the day

"[T]he Congress just gave the president despotic powers, and you could hear the yawn across the country as people turned to, you know, “Dancing with the Stars.” I mean, it’s otherworldly."

~Jonathan Turley, George Washington University constitutional law professor on the signing of the 2006 Military Commissions Act enabling the president to determine who is an enemy combatant, how they are to be 'interrogated' and if or when they will be tried or even charged.

Sometimes the apathy in this country turns my stomach as much as the lawmakers and administration.
