As well as the legislative branch from which the president requires authorization for certain military action, and the judicial branch which enforces the legislation.

Lobbyists? You mean to say that nebulous lobbyists sent citizens with Japanese ancestry to concentration camps? That lobbyists performed extraordinary renditions? What's absurd and obnoxious is denying history and trusting with blind faith a single institution in determining reasonably the scope of enforcement of the duties that keep it relevant.

Precisely. Just as there's no faith in Congress to legislate without oversight, and no faith in the Supreme Court to unilaterally act judiciously. "Checks and balances," as it's commonly phrased. It's the cornerstone of the entire government.

No. It curtails rights to protect against a concept that not only won't ever go away, but is actively being cultivated.

I don't think you'll find many sane and informed people who see merit in not learning from history. It certainly changed a lot of lives last time.

The only thing that stands between you and totalitarianism is a vigilant populace. You should be thankful that people speak up.
