quote [ If the Post is now publishing material demonstrating that US officials have been “following the same talking points for 18 years,” emphasizing how they are “making progress,” “especially” when the war is “going badly,” shouldn’t the paper acknowledge that it has been cheerleading this same line for all of those 18 years? Doesn’t it have a responsibility to examine how it served as a primary vehicle for those officials to spread these same “talking points” to spin the coverage in the desired fashion? ]

An Economic Bill of Rights is a great idea. Now, think, what a shame would it be if we fought for it, ratified it in Congress, and the President just ignored it.
Rule of law is not "rule by law" or "law'n'order". It is universal obedience to mutually-agreed-upon rules. The latter are obedience to the whims of the individuals in power, for the sake of stability:

Already seeing plenty of headlines, social media posts, and memes trying to demonize Iran in the same way we do every other country the US sticks their nose into. Even saw a WMD style accusation floating around. I should hope those on the "left" remember that we're against war because it's wrong, not because Trump didn't get authorization or some legalese bullshit... but I don't have my hopes up.
