@ThewTheKooky @freepatriot I disagree on your definition of tyranny. Seems like historically it is more synonymous with autocracy than war.

I see your point about the #PatriotAct, I actually did not know that it was not renewed, or even that it needed to be renewed!
He may not be able to unilaterally write tax code, but he can unilaterally state wars in contravention of the constitution, and unilaterally snatch anyone off the street and ship them to a forign dungeon without due process in contravention of the constitution.
I guess the question is do you think tyranny is a binary or a spectrum.
Congress has not declared war since wwii. Every bomb and boot deployed to forign soil in anger since then has been in violation of the constitution. Congress doesn't have the power to pass a law making violating the constitution legal, they need to actually amend the constitution for that.
And absent due process, we have absolutely no idea who has been shipped where. You're just taking their 'trust me bro' for it.
