To the Editor:
For seven years, the Bush/Cheney administration claimed extraordinary powers for extralegal wiretaps and torture. Now suddenly David Brooks discovers the threat of an absolute monarchy, but he perceives the threat from president Obama. The illogic would be comical if it weren't so predictable. If majorities in the two houses of our legislature pass a healthcare bill, then president Obama will get to sign it into law. That's not tyranny, that's the proper function of government as per our constitution. That would be change I can believe in.
