Oh, but it will all be LEGAL!
Whether it's spying on activists via secret, broad warrants, or using anti-terror statutes of doubtful Constitutionality to actively quash dissent, we will be told by some here (as long as there is a Democrat in the White House) that it's perfectly legal.
I disagree of course. The precise intent of Constitutional limits on government power and Bill of Rights guarantees of individual freedoms is to transcend the vagaries of party politics and short-term thinking.
