Did Democracy Just Die?
I fear that today may go down as the day that democracy died in the United States:
Mr. Leahy said the bill as written would allow the executive branch to hold any lawful immigrant in the United States indefinitely without charge. “We are about to put the darkest blot on the conscience of the nation,” he said, charging that the push for quick passage was purely for political gain.“There is no new national security crisis,” he said. “There’s only a Republican political crisis.”
Can you please wake me up when the nightmare is over?
Update: The bill has passed with 12 Democrats rolling over to support it. I just hope the Reichstag doesn’t burn down anytime soon, or we’re all cooked.
