Serious Assertions
September 27, 2010 | 08:29 AM
This is interesting. Can Mr Card provide any evidence to back up his assertions in this article? If so, the rule of law demands that President Obama's actions are addressed accordingly, whatever one's take on him as President in all other matters and whatever one's take on Elizabeth Warren's effectiveness - taking the wrong route to even the most "right" of end results is still wrong (the ends do not justify the means when it comes to major breaches of constitutional law).
However, I see no evidence proffered by Mr Card beyond a link to a host of similar accusations levelled in an editorial piece, and, until he can offer some, another aspect of civilised rule of law also applies: innocent until proven guilty. (Of course, one of the difficulties here is that, if the accusations are true, such hard evidence has been made deliberately difficult to procure and perhaps only time will tell what the extent of Elizabeth Warren's powers and role will be, by which time the horse will have bolted.)
Also, not that it changes President Obama's guilt or otherwise in this matter, I would be interested to know if he is unique in taking such action - perhaps cynically, I have long perceived that this is something that all US Presidents do, albeit some more subtly than others. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of these things could enlighten me on this point.
