Stand up. or wimp out

I have a dread feeling that this port deal may be the fork in the road that decides whether we have a tripartite federal government where each of the branches has equal power and provides the balance that keeps each branch in check, or Congress rolls over and turns the balance of power over the executive branch.
In my opinion, this is far more than port security. It goes to the heart of the Constitution.
If the wrong road is taken, we may slip inexorably into a state of fascism, and the miracle that our country's founders wrought after the War of  the Revolution will be lost.
My Great-great Grandfather fought in the Revolutionary War. Will his memory be dishonored?
