QUOTE OF THE DAY - AT 8:17 A.M. ET:   From the great Andy McCarthy in NRO, commenting on the recent wave of "grovel and appease" tactics toward terrorism coming from the Justice Department:

I suppose that's what happens when control of the Justice Department shifts from the lawyers who spent the last eight years going after the terrorists to the lawyers who spent the last eight years representing the terrorists. That certainly is Change.

COMMENT:  And McCarthy certainly is right.  What we're getting now in what used to be the war on terror is worse than we got from the Clinton administration.  Terrorism?  What terrorism?  Just another law enforcement problem, like littering and double parking. 

We are impressed, though, with the number of articles in the last few days challenging the New Order.  At least our side isn't sleeping, even though it's the end of August. 

This appeasement problem may well get worse, as Justice is now staffed with leftist lawyers from the Ivy League who believe that Cambridge, Massachusetts, is the real world.
