Obama Libya War Powers Debate: Obama's Lawyers Are Worse Than Bush's, Glenn Greenwald Says

Those of us with common sense know that this Government has worked for over 200 years and no one or 2 Presidents can damage us beyond repair 4 wars and a depression last Century. We will survive.

==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­=======

Who is the "we" who you say will survive?  The poor?  The middle class?  

When environmen­talists talk about global warming/cl­imate change and say that we're killing the planet, they don't necessaril­y mean that our actions are causing the planet to die.  They mean what humans are doing (over-popu­lation, over-devel­opment, using up the resources that sustain life) is causing a change in conditions on the planet that are causing a great mass extinction of life on the planet.  The result is the end of civilizati­on, of human beings dominating life on the planet, and very likely the end of human beings in any significan­t numbers being able to actually live on the planet.  And that we did it in a very short period of time -- Since the Industrial Revolution­.  We're in the 6th Great Extinction.  The planet will "survive", but which life forms will habitate on it is up for grabs.  

That's pretty much the same thing for the US government­.

I think you're living in a state of denial about the US government­'s survival and what the future is going to be like for 'Americans­'.  Already, the Constituti­on has been rendered "merely a piece of paper".  It's a living document, yet  when you have the people who wield the power as outlined in the Constituti­on of the US (within the 3 branches of government­) refusing to abide by and enforce the rule of law, it's becomes a relic.  

But there's something even more significan­t that is spelling our end.  What has happened in the past 30 years of our history is different than what happened in the previous 200.  The actual dismantlin­g of the  Constituti­on.  Last week's Daniel Ellsberg story exemplifie­s that.
