You're an Optimist
What you fail to realize is what he can do with the 4 years he will have in office. We already know that according to Alberto, it's not really torture unless there's organ failure.

Think what the federal and local law enforcement agencies can do as long as the AG signs off on it.

Don't count too much on Judicial rulings, the SCOTUS just ruled that the police can have a drug dog go through your car without any provacation, as for Congressional oversight, you seem to have forgotten which party controls the Congress.

Dems have been calling for investigations into several things, and the Rethugs have been blocking them.

The longer you wait for the "right" battle, the better the chance that your kids will be living a Republican world. But you go ahead and wait, it's exactly what the German Jews did when Hitler came to power, and we all know how great life turned out for them, don't we?
