What the documentaries will be about in 20 years

They'll talk about the Iraq War and they'll talk about the forgotten war in Afghanistan. We'll watch them discuss terrorism and how the term "war on terror" only emboldened these murderous fringe elements of society.

But when they make the documentaries about this presidency in 20 years, what they'll focus on is the Constitution and the rights of the American citizen. The documentarians will discuss how the definitions of rights were changed; they'll show us how the executive branch was stealthily able to overreach its bounds. We'll finally be able to see how people used the President unfairly to push their own agendas.

At the end of these documentaries, it'll show how we didn't fight enough for our Constitutional rights.

I just want to get this written down someplace. I've wanted to write this for months.
I have hope that we can change things, make them better. I'm more hopeful, probably, than people realize. I know we can make things better again, we can demand that government obey the law that they're sidestepping and then refusing to prosecute.

Anyway, I just wanted to write this down.
