I haven’t seen any Sunday morning news shows yet, but I’m pretty blown away from the snippets I’ve read so far. These guys must really think they’re above the law and the GOP leadership seems to agree with them. Did you see the Bob Barr/Dana Rohrabacher discussion on CNN? Atrios has some highlights at his sight. This is crazy:
BARR: And the Constitution be damned, Dana?
ROHRABACHER: Well, I’ll tell you something, if a nuclear weapon goes off in Washington, DC, or New York or Los Angeles, it’ll burn the Constitution as it does. So I’m very happy we have a president that’s going to wiretap people’s communication with people overseas to make sure that they’re not plotting to blow up one of our cities.
He acts like if the actual parchment gets destroyed that our Constitution ceases to exist. That’s about as literal as you can get.
I hope I strike the right tone of irony and disgust in today’s cartoon.
