I hope this kind of nonsense prompts a course correction
Frankly, I'm very glad that this piece was printed in the WSJ. I know many conservatives who are uneasy with the notion of a king-like executive, but have either relied on things changing with the next election or simply wring their hands, worrying that maybe they're seeing a slippery slope that isn't really there.
Well, brothers and sisters, we are sliding down that slope and are near bottom. This kind of explicit statement denying the rule of law (which is a cornerstone of conservative philosophy) is just what the doctor ordered to get true conservatives in gear to rein in the recklessness of the almighty executive.
If Americans of all political persuasions don't band together to pull us back to the Constitutional balance of powers, we're going to see nothing but trouble ahead, regardless of who is president.
