The Rule of Law

This exchange regarding the illegal domestic spying by the President just about says it all:

REP. DANA ROHRABACHER (R-CA): But we want to put the full authority that we have and our technology to use immediately to try to thwart terrorists who are going to -- how about have a nuclear weapon in our cities?

BOB BARR, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: 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.

This is an elected lawmaker, a representative of the people, saying - not just implying - that it's okay for the President to ignore the law. How much more fundamental does it get? These people are now in outspoken support of despotism.
