To the Editor:

   Many of us who voted for CHANGE in 2008 with hope and enthusiasm now register disappointment and betrayal as president Obama's Department of Justice defends and expands the Cheney/Bush assault on our Constitutional guarantees.  No ad hoc seizure of extraordinary presidential powers can ever substitute for the Due Process of Law.
