NY Times Opinion:
Democratic Pressure on Obama to Restore the Rule of Law. “... Mr. Feingold is convinced that this is a critical moment. If the next president does not reverse the Bush administration’s doctrines, he fears that they will no longer simply be the policies of one extremist president. The danger is that they will be the nation’s new understanding of the Constitution.” And he is correct. Anyone interested in the original sentiments of the Constitution should back these efforts. The Presidency, Congress and the Supreme Court have come way too close to creating the framework for a dictatorship or permanent majority.

BO is not going to roll back a single one of the powers he’s about to inherit - it defies the logic of power. He’s inheriting the world’s most pervasive domestic spy apparatus..those things never come undone.
