"also the appointment of special council Smith was an abuse of Presidential power...." Yes, contradictory, but that doesn't bother them any more. This is the latest fringe theory floating around the right (is anything fringe?). Didn't Cannon just hold a hearing on it? Watch her toss the case now.

Paine helped draft the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1776. That constitution created a 13 PERSON EXECUTIVE because the people who wrote it were anxious to constrain the power of that branch. It's the exact opposite of Thomas's "unified executive" theory. avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century...

I know this is totally beside the point, but is this Thomas's way of bragging that he received a really old book as a gift from his ol' Bohemian Grove drinking buddies?
