In Sunday talk show appearances, Ms. Rice said the program was intended to eliminate the "seam" between American intelligence operations overseas and law enforcement agencies at home.
the "seam", otherwise known as the Constitution, when was it repealed ?

It's called a Republic. Same that we have had for over 200 years. I don't know where people get this idea that we live in a democracy.

Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives.

Ya, strange idea.
What form of government are we living under now ?

Don't get hysterical. The Constitution still stands, and Congress will reel in the President if he oversteps his bounds. Congress is -if anything- possessive over their power 'turf.' If you are really that concerned, write your representatives and senators.

Are you people stupid. The US has never been a Democracy.
It is a Representative Republic. Always has been and for the time being will continue to be. With all of the doom and gloom spouted by the left, just think of it this way - the nation has weathered much worse and survived. As a matter of fact, the very design of the government prevents one man or one generation from doing too much harm. The system is too slow by its very nature to allow this.
I just get angry when the ignorant can't get our base form of government correct. Shws the pure lack of knowledge in some sects of the American political spectrum.

I'd call it a Dictatorship. There is plenty of evidence to support that.
