John Yoo
Edited on Mon Feb-22-10 04:53 PM by Bucky
emphasis added:

      {The president} exercised the powers of the imperial presidency to the utmost in the area in which those powers are already at their height — in our dealings with foreign nations. Unfortunately, the record of the administration has not been a happy one, in light of its costs to the Constitution and the American legal system. On a series of different international relations matters, such as war, international institutions, and treaties, {The president} has accelerated the disturbing trends in foreign policy that undermine notions of democratic accountability and respect for the rule of law.


Guess which president he was talking about.

Boneus quote:
      In democracies, we distinguish between a public office and the person who holds that office; people for whom the office and the person are one and the same are called kings.
