<p>I don&#39;t know, Kathy.  Goldfarb has set the bar pretty high, so it would take an inordinate amount of &#8220;mind-numbing stupidity&#8221; to &#8220;break his own record.&#8221;  Perhaps you&#39;re forgetting an <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2007/04/senator_george_mitchell_on_ira.asp" rel="nofollow">article</a> he posted in The Weekly Standard two years ago in which he actually tried to argue that the Framers of the Constitution wanted the President of the United States to have &#8220;near dictatorial powers&#8221; during times of war.</p>
<p>Then again, I suppose one can argue that that&#39;s not a case of &#8220;mind-numbing stupidity&#8221; but&#8211;rather&#8211;Goldfarb simply reitering the neoconservatives&#39; perverse admiration for a Unitary Executive that has broad powers not explicitly stated in the United States Constitution when it comes to foreign policy&#8211;a concept that has long been dismissed by classical liberals, Old Right conservatives, and other sane people who believe that having a Head of State with &#8220;near dictatorial powers&#8221; would be a <i>bad</i> thing.</p>
