not really, WHY? liberals complained when the war powers act gave Bush far too much power but stayed mum when Obama got into office, Obama also signed indefinite detention w/o trial into law and seemingly only the ACLU and code pink stood against him.


when Bush initially passed the "Patriot Act" it was conservatives who were stupid enough to say "only terrorist have something to hide" , these same conservatives (archery talk forum) were appalled when now the black guy could read their e-mails thanks to the "Patriot act"


point being we generally only look at WHO is passing laws and our level of concern only rises if we think we are affected overlooking the fact the GOVT determines WHO is a terrorist ( or who should be affected) and once laws are passed they are generally expanded as they see fit.


Number of states in our country minus the number of Supreme Court Justices?
