Barack Obama: “I hereby delegate the functions and authorities vested in the President by section 213(b)(1) of the Iran Threat…”

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.

The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.
