For those unfamiliar with the Church Committee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee), it was an investigation in the '70s after the Watergate scandal to finally rein in the abuse of presidential power.
I stumbled across this Bill Moyers piece from Nov. 2007 comparing the current abuses of power brought forth by Bush/Cheney to those of Nixon and co. back then.
I do sincerely hope there will be something similar to the Church Committee that will happen in the future...

My faith in the constitution is whole it is complete it is total and I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution.
GOPers who defend and Dems who take inaction should take note: the above IS patriotism.
