Common Cause has launched a campaign, Recapture the Flag, to demand a President and Congress that believe in the Constitution, the rule of law and justice for all. Seems obvious that any elected official should fervently support the rule of law. But, as Bruce Springsteen said on
60 Minutes, that's not the way it's been:
"I think we've seen things happen over the past six years that I don't think anybody ever thought they'd ever see in the United States," Springsteen says. "When people think of the United States' identity, they don't think of torture. They don't think of illegal wiretapping. They don't think of voter suppression," he says. "They don't think of no habeas corpus," he says, a reference to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. ... "Those are things that are anti-American," Springsteen adds. "There's been a whole series of things that ... I never thought I'd ever see in America."
What do we do about that?
"It's unpatriotic at any given moment to sit back and let things pass that are damaging to some place that you love so dearly and that has given me so much."
