Quote of the Day

"People have no idea how significant this is. Really a time of shame this is for the American system. What the Congress did, and what the President signed today, essentially revokes over 200 years of American principles and values. It couldn't be more significant. The strange thing is that we have become sort of constitutional couch potatoes. The Congress just gave the President despotic powers and you could hear the yawn across the country as people turned to 'Dancing With the Stars'. It's otherworldly... People clearly don't realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country. What happened today changed us. And I'm not too sure we're gonna change back anytime soon."
--Jonathan Turley, GWU professor and constitutional expert, last night on the detainee bill

American in great numbers fall in line and follow blindly, not having the initiative to learn what is happening...only waiting until it's too late and then asking, WHY?

We had better make the most of this freedom while we have it. How long it will remain is in question.
