After 9/11, the Bush administration propounded an alternative con-stitution-a "Neoconstitution" in which trust would take the place of checks and balances. Under the Neoconstitution, the president has the power to ignore the law, spy on citizens, lock them up without due process, put troops in the streets, and keep Americans from finding out what happened if they're harmed along the way.

Ergens hoopgevend dat onder Bush en Kennedy al meer anti-democratische en militaristische neigingen de boventoon voerden; o.a. de inzet van het leger om Amerikanen te bespieden en zelfs een tank om een vliegveld tegen terroristen te bewaken (MIA ,2001). Het Congres lijkt wel steeds de boeman te zijn: geef de president de macht maar, dan is het in ieder geval niet onze schuld als het misgaat.

"The conservative endeavors to so limit and balance political power that anarchy or tyranny may not arise. In every age, nevertheless, men and women are tempted to overthrow the limitations upon power, for the sake of some fancied temporary advantage. It is characteristic of the radical that he thinks of power as a force for good-so long as the power falls into his hands." (1953)

Ironisch dat de progressives juist voor oorlog en het uitbreiden van het ambt van de president waren, een soort van benevolent dictatorship nastrevend.

Interessant om nog eens te lezen dat de VS helemaal niet als presidentieel georiënteerde republiek is gesticht; afgezien van wat uitzonderingen zoals Polk (oorlogje spelen in Mexico) en Lincoln waren er vóór de 20e eeuw haast geen presidenten die zichzelf als boegbeeld van het volk zagen. Geen wonder dat Trump één van de eerste 'innovators' (T.R.) op dit vlak als voorbeeld ziet...
