What's unbelievable is that now the leader of our country during a time of war is being required to answer to a judge,

My god, you mean like in a democracy? I thought this was ancient Rome, where we would appoint a 6 month dictator to fight of the Gauls, or Carthaginians when they threaten our borders. But I'm shocked to find out we are in fact a liberal democracy founded upon the ideas of Locke and Montesquieu (among others).

Where the people on this board get their history lessons, I'll never know.
