"Here's my basic point: how can people talk dispassionately about the merits of the president authorizing torture in 2002 as if it weren't already clearly illegal? We have a prior issue here: can the president act above the law? Is the Constitution suspended in wartime? And when does that suspension end in a war with no defined enemy and no end in sight?"

"I tackle Charles Krauthammer's glib commentary on this point here." is missing from your post.

I'm don't even know how to react anymore. It doesn't seem like many people take this seriously. Do we just hope for a positive outcome in '08 or what? How many people are coming down with outrage fatigue now?

King Dennis gives you the truth for a change. The bailout sucks. I wish I could share his belief that Congress would do something about it if it could. I see Congress as utterly corrupt, and I see King Dennis as the only godly man in it.... read entire post
