59. Sorry Cali but we are further in than we were when Bush first took office.
The first warning signals were when the Supreme Court strayed out of their jurisdiction and appointed Bush our President. It has been argued that they committed treason, yet Congress has been unwilling to investigate this and put the offending Justices on trial if they are found to be as such. Then came the Patriot Act. Then habeas corpus was removed. Then we sanctioned the torture and murder of prisoners and denied them proper trials, which is against what we agreed to in signing on the Geneva Conventions. We assassinated the head of a sovereign state. All this is happening incrementally under our very noses and if President Obama and the Democrats don't start reversing this trend, when we wake up and smell the rot, it will be too late, like it was for Germany.
