Glenn wrote "That's all part-and-parcel of the broader trend whereby we now believe that the U.S. President is empowered to do anything and order anything -- from declaring someone an "enemy combatant" to proclaiming torture techniques to be legal -- and that the mere fact that he does so makes it legal."
I haven't went through all the comments yet, so I don't know if anyone has posted this, but I'd like to add a minor correction. Glenn forgot to put Republican in front of president. If Obama orders a crime to be committed while President, the republicans and our "liberal" media will have new found respect for the rule of law. A US president is only allowed to break the law, is if he's a republican.
