Sullivan on the MCA bill:

Whatever else this is, it is not a constitutional democracy. It is a thinly-veiled military dictatorship, subject to only one control: the will of the Great Decider. And the war that justifies this astonishing attack on American liberty is permanent, without end. … All I know is that al Qaeda is winning battles every week now. And they are winning them because their aim of gutting Western liberty is shared by the president of the United States.

    And, my memory fails me here, but was it “Brave New World” or “1984″ in which there was a never-ending war used as an excuse by the government for similar control of civil liberties?

    It’s stuff like this that adds credibility to rumors like the Bush quote about the Constitution being just a piece of paper. Of course, he could not do it without the complicity of the Crawlers in Congress.
