I don’t normally make political commentary, but the actions of certain (high) government offices worry me. Between creative interpretation of words written by Congress, an insistence that the chosen course of action cannot be wrong and an apparent disregard for the very document that created our government, I’m really concerned as to how the intended order will be restored. This morning a line/scene from Star Wars: Episode 3 came to mind: “This is how democracy dies, to thunderous applause.”

edit: apparently there’s some debate over whether she said “democracy” or “liberty”
