We've already learned the federal government does not give up power
but this is simply not true, and when it does so people ignore it to the point of obtuseness. two recent examples are a (slight) relaxation of TSA rules about carry-on items, and the decison to try an Al-Qaeda member in criminal court in Ny instead of just sending him to Guantanamo. Today in particular, the administrationis urging the Supreme Court o limit the government's power to say who can or can't call themselves married. These exmples may not matter to you, but they seem to matter quite a lot to various other people. Your arguments rests on a false premise, one which assumes things will inevitably get worse.
You could be arguing that withdrawal from Afghanistan would be a great time to rewire and substantially narrow, or even repeal, the AUMF, and great time to review the Patriot act in the light of over a decade's experience. I would lolve to see these laws narrowed or repealed. Instead you prefer to sit on your hands and prognosticate about things automatically getting worse.
