I already know you don't care if your politicians are criminals. You've made that plenty clear.
Thousands? Really? I think you're exaggerating a little bit. Like those air strikes which turns out that 75% don't even drop their weapons. I'll give you hundreds, collateral damage and all, but even the UK Guardian only claims about a thousand innocent civilians killed by us (by us I mean Obama).
Fact is, you don't know anything about me or what I know unless I tell you. You don't believe me anyway. The Constitution is not hard to understand and neither is the law on most cases. If that doesn't work I can always pick up a book by Dershowitz or Guilfoyle who are both scholars on the Constitution. You're actually arguing with one of the most impressive intellects from Harvard. We know how much you value that Harvard education. So bite me.
Presidents do thing all the time that they know are illegal but they buy time to make things happen. Lincoln did that, Wilson did that, FDR did that, and Obama is doing that. Obama just backed down yesterday from a courtroom confrontation. He was wrong and acted against the Constitution, he knew it and decided to not take his chances.
You're not very good at this. Of course I appreciate you catching all of my spelling errors (or spell check). It is a bitch when your eye sight starts to go.

And you've added the 75 percent number because you think it looks bad for Obama, which is the only reason you do anything on this board. But what you fail to mention or notice is that number is not unusual.
"As of May 27, 2015, the United States had flown approximately 15,600 strike-sorties resulting in approximately 4,198 strikes, said Cmdr. Elissa Smith, a spokeswoman with the Office of the Secretary of Defense. That works out to 27 percent -- slightly higher than the data McCain had, but close enough for our purposes."
Pentagon officials told PolitiFact that there was nothing unusual or surprising about that ratio.
"The fact that aircraft go on missions and don't strike anything is not out of the norm," said Air Force Capt. Andrew "Ender" Caulk of Air Forces Central Command Public Affairs. Despite U.S. strikes being "the most precise in the history of warfare," Caulk said, "conducting strike operations in the heavily populated areas where DAESH hides presents challenges. We are fighting an enemy who goes out of their way to put civilians at risk. However, the vast majority of pilots understand the need for the tactical patience in this environment. This fight against DAESH is not the kind of fight from previous decades."
Of course, why would I listen to someone from Air Force Central Command, when I can listen to JD the Idiot Bitch Boy?
I'm not good at this? You don't even know what 'this' is, you fucking moron.
