Rule of Law edges out Rule of Man
The US Supreme Court just handed down a decision that basically says that the President can’t do whatever he wants with the people held at Guantanamo. Technically a 5-3 decision, but Chief Justice Roberts would have voted on the side of unlimited Presidential powers if he could have.
You can see that these dudes long for the monarchy, the Pope or just daddy. If only everyone else just understood, as they do that pleasing someone with more power is the safest way for us all to live we’d all be good boys just like them and everything would be ok.
Justice Stevens is 86, and there’s a big moment coming. How do you want to live America?
It’s not an either/or choice between strength through force and weakness through guilt.
