Full Stop

From Megan McArdle (Atlantic,  Should I Worry About Chrysler?, May 4, 2009):
I recognize that the law is always kind of messy, but as far as I know, this kind of blatant political intervention between debt claims is unprecedented, and worse, it's a dress rehearsal for doing the same thing at GM. 

Allow me to take liberties with what Ms. McArdle said:
 This kind of blatant political intervention between debt claims is unprecedented.  Full Stop.

Just about everything this Administration and Congress are doing is unprecedented and unlawful... and extra-Constitutional.

It appears that our elected officials believe that the law and the Constitution are guidelines.
