While we were celebrating... .

While the online community was celebrating its victory over SOPA and PIPA, the Justice Department struck quickly and lethally at Megauploads, one of the largest file-sharing websites on the planet, proving that it DID NOT NEED SOPA and PIPA to police the Internet pretty much any way it deemed prudent and necessary.

Forget democratic protests. Forget the protests of Google, Reddit, Wikipedia, and a slew of other sites. The Justice Department managed to get arrest warrants executed in foreign countries, web servers shut down, assets confiscated the very next day after the online community convinced U.S. legislators to back off!

What is that about? Pretty much the same thing as the indefinite detention permitted in recent legislation that Obama signed with a signing statement that he "would not pursue it."

Question. If it is the executive branch's job to enforce the laws, and the President of the United States is the "boss" of the executive branch, how the hell is the Justice Department determining the means of enforcement rather than the Oval Office? Just where is the tail that is wagging the dog and how, tell me how, can that tail be cut off?
