"your cynicism and the oh so impressive "I've seen it all attitude" adds nothing constructive to the conversation."

As opposed to....your comment?

Hyperventilation is navel-gazing without the self-reflection. It is a step below hysteria. If you truly grew up in a totalitarian state, then you should be in favor of doing things right, by the law, rather than allowing a single person or small group of people circumvent (or pervert) it.

And that is the problem here. Executive Orders and appointees during both the Obama and Bush administrations have allowed the executive branch to do what they want, when they want. It's technically legal, but it's as permanent as smoke. And those who are upset that the smoke bridge to a better future is falling apart are fools.
