A Democrat Calls for Executive Accountability

A Democrat Calls for Executive Accountability: "Bush and Cheney served as monarchs, launching undeclared wars, spying illegally, authorizing torture and attaching signing statements to legislation with the intent of allowing themselves to operate outside the rule of law.
Obama may be somewhat more responsible on some issues. After all, he taught Constitutional law before swearing an oath to defend the document.
But to rely on one man, even a good man, to renew the system of checks and balances is as naive as it is dysfunctional."
