Chains you can believe in.

Haha!

So true. I can't decide which president I hate more: Bush or Obama. Both are/were pretty bad. Hell Dick Cheney still has hold-backs in the Obama administration.

Extraordinary Rendition, State Secrets, Patriot Act...

When Obama does it, it's "compassionate rendition."

I have to agree. Hate Bush for starting it, Obama for keeping it up.

...er, Extraordinary Rendition has been used since Reagan (at least), through Bush I, continued through Clinton, and then used extensively by Bush II.

The silhouetted couples bit is the only funny part.

I don't think this is true for the most part... Keith Olbermann had a segment just last night ripping into the Obama administration for embracing the Bush gang's warrantless wiretapping arguments. Glenn Greenwald is still writing daily (and excellent) blog articles on these issues over at Salon. Amongst my liberal friends, I do not encounter anyone being an apologist for our man Barry on these issues.

Big contrast to Fox News, talk radio, et al during the Bush years.

Of course, it remains to be seen if this criticism will amount to enough to get the Obama legal peeps to issue a course correction on these matters, but I'll try and retain hope. Pardon the pun.

The conservatives need to apply that to Iowa. Idiots.

"Side effects may include consistency, the rule of law and being principled."

In other words no politician will ever read the constitution on a daily basis.
