Where you have to decide if you put Country and Constitution ahead of Party and Politics.
The release of the drone memo shows that the Obama administration is taking upon itself the same sort of unConstitutional power that Bush grabbed for when he enacted the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war and endorsed torture.
The vast majority of Democrats and liberals righteously damned Bushboy for his unConstitutional power grab. But now, when Obama is making the same sort of unConstitutional power grab with his policy of extrajudicial killing, we are starting to see a rift open and widen.
Many, most are outraged at this power grab, just as they were when Bushboy made his powergrab. These people are putting Country and Constitution above Party and Politics. But it amazes me how some folks, folks who damned Bushboy's power grab, are now putting Party and Politics above Country and Constitution, condoning this unConstitutional power grab by the Obama administration.
So this is the breaking point, the point where we find out whose moral compass is functioning, the point where we find out who puts Country and Constitution ahead of Party and Politics. For those who choose the former, I congratulate you. For those who choose the latter, well, at the very least I pity you. It is hard to go through life without a moral compass, equally hard to be taken seriously since that is the case.
