Was Cheney right about Obama?

"...But Obama’s Justice Department, like Bush’s, has not been above an opportunistic (and occasionally downright Procrustean) reading of particular statutes to permit whatever it is that the White House wants to do."

"....the Supreme Court has refused to consider the legality of the N.S.A.’s wiretapping programs on the tautological ground that no prospective plaintiff has standing to sue, because the relevant programs are so secret that any one citizen can only “speculate” whether or not he or she has been spied on."

Our now only remaing feeble check: the press, whistleblowers, Congress, don't stand a chance against this new `tripartite' POTUS' SCOTUS, POTUS' Administration, and POTUS' Dept of Justice.
