Potpourri on Dictatorship

and a miniscule rightwing blog that called it "Left Wing Hysteria"

But, Bora, he's right. Your post was left wing hysteria.;-)

The word 'hysteria' always reminds me of the etymology and the medical history of the word - and the invention of the vibrator.

Sometimes you are paranoid, and sometimes they are really after you. I particularly like Archy's (the first of the "John" links) take.

Sometimes running in circles and screaming is the correct response.

the latest chill up and down my spine is a FindLaw commentary which suggests the Military Commissions Act ("MCA") is a "smackdown" of the Supreme Court and has been deliberately drawn to minimize if not eliminate judicial review, a la Gonzales, and at least make it difficult for any detainee to which the MCA is applicable to appeal or have a basis for appeal.

i don't know. i guess some interested third party can bring suit against the executive. a class action suit on behalf of the American people?

You're welcome (on the reddit thing). Great post, great blog. Thank you.
