WWJD?
Imagine a scenario where lawbreaking fundraisers, partisan polling machine manufacturers, and vote-suppressing politicians conspire to flip a national election to a business-friendly, partially reformed drunk.  Imagine that the outcome of this marred election leads to a re-orientation of the Supreme Court that strips away protections for government workers who would blow the whistle on illegal activities by their superiors.  Imagine that the illegitimate product of this election fiddling, the "bastard president" as it were, willfully ignores evidence of impending terrorist attacks, in order to bolster his advisors' long-contemplated case for invading an oil-rich middle eastern dictatorship - and that thousands upon thousands of people die as a result.  

Imagine ... just as an intellectual exercise, of course.  Well ... what would Jefferson do? (THOMAS Jefferson, that is)
