An economics, investment, trading and policy blog with a focus on Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We seek the truth, avoid the mainstream and are virulently anti-neoliberalism.
It's only being brought up now as a counter-threat against Republicans who threaten impeachment and political lawsuits. They need loyal dems to foam at the mouth and appear ready to pounce.
Torture? only a problem if you threaten Dems grip on power during an election year, then it becomes an important moral and constitutional issue after having ignored it for years.
Do you really think the Drone-killer in chief will want to prosecute his predecessor who preferred torture to murder?
He will be out of office in only a few short months. And then he will be on the dock if he tried to prosecute.
If the two-party regime ever falls, they'll all be vulnerable to justice for their decades of abuses of power. But this is just another stupid threat by loyal partisans that don't give a toss about constitutionality or torture. This is usually the function of Rush Limbaugh/Amy Goodman in their respective parties to spin dubious ideas into fact but the partisan bloggers have been called in this time. Interesting.
