Bush Brandishes Jail Time at Critics

The Constitution, we were told in law school, is a contract between the government and the people. That’s what the con law professor said. But that same year, in contracts, we were told that there’s little a party can do to prevent a breach of contract, but to sue for damages and specific performance after the fact. So if The Decider decides to suspend such trivialities as free speech, warrants for searches, right of a trial, etc., we can’t stop him. Can we?

Somebody let me know when it’s time to run for the hills.
