As I noted in another post, the progressives have gone 180 degrees in what they stand for.

Quote:Interesting point --- how is that the Flynn case has shown erstwhile liberals – people who a little more than a decade ago were marching en masse in the streets over the civil liberties implications of Cheney’s War on Terror apparatus – have morphed into defenders of the spy state.

Here they are not just defenders of a spy state in their frenzied issues of 'Get Trump', but the defenders of using a "moribund, unconstitutional 18th-century prohibition against unauthorized diplomacy that has *never* been used in a successful prosecution, has not been invoked since prior to the Civil War, and has never been the subject of an indictment in the 150-year history of the Justice Department" and defend it as being “by the book”.
