I think instead of "sometimes" you meant "usually, unless there's some
serious oversight and accountability." This is why laws need to be
written very specifically to address the actual problem at hand and to
not give sweeping powers without oversight.
We could be talking about traffic law, or we could be talking about
the Patriot Act, could apply to either one equally well.
Heh, except traffic laws have oversight, by courts.
And you can't really expect the SC to find portions of the PA
unconstitutional, because desperate people often find desperate
measures necessary and reasonable.
The world tilts, to and fro. Even if the jackass morons never do a
day in prison for war crimes, this is still the greatest and most free
country on earth.
Everything has a way of working itself out. You may not live to see
it, but it will.
If in the meantime you find conditions in the US unacceptable, work to
fix them, or find a country more to your liking. Bitching and whining
like a victim may make you feel better, but as a solution it isn't
very effective.
