A friend of mine has repeatedly criticized me for being dead-set against voting for McCain/Palin.  I don’t like either presidential candidate but I am extremely worried about what would happen in another 4 years of Republican control.

The current administration has made quite a sport of shredding the Constitution.  My friend wants me to believe it wouldn’t be the same under McCain/Palin, but check out this post by the excellent author Glenn Greenwald.  If Palin doesn’t even understand one of the most well-known ammendments, what hope could there be for a return to an administration that respects the foundations of our government?

I highly recommend Glenn’s book How Would a Patriot Act? Although I haven’t yet had a chance to read them, his other books should be interesting as well: Great American Hypocrites and A Tragic Legacy.
