184. Yes, a specialist in Constitutional law should know that many of Bush's

moves (torture, detention without trial) violate the Constitution, and yet I have not heard him even criticize them, much less bring those responsible to justice.

I was reading about South Korea last night. When they finally got a legitimately elected government, one of the first acts of the new government was to put members of the dictatorship on trial for their crimes. Imagine, officially repudiating the acts of a previous government!

So what does Obama do? Sign a renewal of the Patriot Act.

Way to go, Mr. Constitutional Lawyer.
