eventually it would be used against our own people on our own soil. It didn't take a genius like me (not) to see this coming, to see we lost our democracy 25 years ago.
I recall Durbin making a strong, full throated denouement of the creation of Homeland and it's threat to our own citizens, calling out fascism which resulted in him getting threats of censure and forced to apologize to Bush. So sad to see him have to walk it back, because it was fucking truth.
