For the record, manlove - mick e is in full agreement with max on this issue.
One of the main reasons that he voted for Obama over Hillary was that he was promising to restore the constitutional protections that Bush had gutted. What ended up happening was shockingly brazen in that not only did he fail to overturn these unconstitutional programs - but he added scores of NEW violations to the tally.
It has been breathtaking to watch. mick e has always been a realist when it comes to politics, but he took Obama to be serious about these issues, and felt that he was genuinely interested in fulfilling these pledges.
