But gratitude that Obama isn’t Dick Cheney can’t blind us to the ways he’s not living up to his promises to restore the rule of law.
Sounds like you wrote that on a beta blocker.
When Obama haughtily lectures Americans about the rule of law only to assert - again and again - that we who demand its fair and just application are nothing more than petty, revenge-loving sadists who look to the past and point fingers, he's doing more than "not living up to his promises to restore the rule of law."
Obama is, in fact, actively subverting the rule of law. That he is doing so while going full hog in Afghanistan should provide a clue or two as to what he has in mind.
There is plenty of evidence torture has continued on Obama's watch. He has made it crystal clear that no one who tortures is to be held accountable. Ever.
It is repulsive to see Democrats rally around this con man.
