A Sad Day for America

We have become a dictatorship. I know that sounds overly melodramatic but that is essentially what happened yesterday when the Senate passed that deplorable detainee bill. What else would you call a country in which it's leader can torture and detain anyone indefinitely simply on his say so? What else would you call a country in which all rights to due process and fair trials are stripped from the accused? What else do you call a country in which it's leader can ignore the will of the people?

Bush once famously said:
If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.

Yesterday, he got his wish.
