I once wondered how it was that the German people could have allowed Hitler’s power-grabs. Now I see how. It’s a sad day for our nation. Our enemies must be laughing their asses off — their sucker punch on 9/11 has turned our country into a caricature of its stated values.
We are no longer a nation of laws. ‘Rule of law’ has been quickly replaced with something one expects to find in a Kafka or Orwell novel. When a government can break the law, then retroactively make it legal, every person, of every political persuasion, should be quite worried.
