Having grown up with Batman on TV (and the Professor), I have an aversion to “hero”.
That said, an intellectual from the early 20th, to whom I can relate, wrote (concerning Empire):
“The alternative is to hold on to them with ever-lessening force, till the anarchy is too expensive, and we let go.”
T. E. Lawrence
The more I find out about him, the more relevant he seems. As if he had studied, and lived with, the people that he was discussing.

Dear Fred,
I feel that I should let you know that your client George Bush (AKA W, 43d, The Decider. et al) is in a world of hurt. While legal ethics insist that you defend your client to the bitter (effing) end, I think there are several points that you should consider.
A. He has tried to shred The Constitution (you thought this was gonna be a typical brief, eh?).
B. Congress knows (and is in the hands of the opposition party).
C. Drip, drip, drip.
I think you should tell the Commander Guy (or whatever he decides to play at the time) to throw himself at the mercy of the court (his shit couldn’t be that big of a deal, since it is only Article fucking 1, Section 2, Clause 5 and 6 of the Constitution).
I would at this point post some snarky comments by Jimmy Madison and Tommy Jefferson, but I am trying (Oh, Lord how I am trying) to keep from rubbing your nose in the pile of scat that you have for a client/situation.
Wishing you (personally) all the best,
C
