Well, like i said, i expected people to know about it. It was big news, really. But i guess its something that people that are more politically aware would only know instead. I think there's a lot of apathy towards Bush's trampling of the const. It happens so freq that he's giving the finger to laws in general, whether it by by witholding info, editing reports and the like, that it comes and goes w/o much notice.
People don't like people getting on a soapbox, or the appearance thereof, which i think is what's happening with this thread. That, and they don't like the message. So instead, they argue the semantics of a 24 hour day, and seek to minimize the travesty by comparing it to situations around the world that are worse, which only serves up more indifference.
But like i said, bad day for democracy.
