Reply #27: Not new, but accelerating in new directions

I suppose it's the flagrancy of the acts and secretiveness that makes me feel like we're transitioning to an even worse area.

There's something off about a Commander in Chief declaring that he can kill an American citizen, and no, he doesn't have to explain himself, and no, he doesn't have to explain to us the processes and legal theories behind this assumption of power.

It comes back to that old adage "Would you want a Republican president with these powers?"

God, no. No, I would not.
