A Constitutional Quote for President (and former conlaw prof.) Obama:

"Extraordinary conditions may call for extraordinary remedies. But the argument necessarily stops short of an attempt to justify action which lies outside the sphere of constitutional authority. Extraordinary conditions do not create or enlarge constitutional power." Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Schecter Poultry Corp. v. United States.

A Times editorial on the Hagel nomination, February 12, suggested that questions are not fit to ask --whether the former senator's assets include stipends from foreign sources. As to that curious assets range -- perhaps Mr. Hagel is a day trader?
