| | Roman dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Likewise, a dictator could act as a supreme judge, with no appeal for his decisions. | | | When a dictator was considered necessary, the Senate passed a senatus consultum that one of the consuls should nominate a dictator; and without a previous decree of the senate the consuls had not the power of naming a dictator. | | | This dictator held absolute military and civil power in the State, and was obligated to appoint as his deputy a Master of the Cavalry (Magister Equitum). |

| | Dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As a result, it is often also used as a term of abuse for political opponents; Henry Clay's dominance of the U.S. Congress as Speaker of the House and as a member of the United States Senate led to his nickname "the Dictator." The term has also come to be associated with megalomania. | | | In the system of Roman Republic, a dictator rei gerendae causa was an extraordinary magistrate (without a colleague) temporarily granted significant power over the state during times of great threat to the state, as in a defensive war. | | | In modern usage, dictator refers to an absolutist or autocratic ruler who governs outside the normal constitutional rule of law through a continuous state of exception. |

| | Redwood Dragon: Echoes of Rome |
| | There was no appeal from his decisions, nor could he be prosecuted for any of his acts while dictator. | | | Nor did it for the Founding Fathers, for whom the institution held deep appeal. | | | What I heard this week from Washington were instead echoes of Republican Rome, whose institutions were even more divided against each other than our institutionalized tripartite struggle, and whose constitutional approach (the mos maiorum, or "ways of our ancestors") was far more British than American. |

| | Unauthorized Entry - The Bush Doctrine: War without anyone's permission. By Michael Kinsley |
| | By Monday night, though, in his 48-hour-warning speech, the references to international law and the United Nations had become vestigial. | | | If we knew which babies would turn out to be wise and judicious leaders, we could crown them dictator. | | | Actually, no. Might is important, probably most important, but there are good, practical reasons for even might and right together to defer sometimes to procedure, law, and the judgment of others. |

| | The DVD Journal Reviews : The Great Dictator: The Chaplin Collection |
| | Footage of a vast Nuremberg Rally-like assembly heiling a giant image of George Washington should raise the hairs on the back of anyone's neck. | | | Grinding the Jews in the ghetto beneath his heel is only the start of his plans. | | | But the sincerity with which Chaplin voices his appeal and the expression of tragedy which is clear in his face are strangely overpowering. |

| | Quest for the Presidency: Bush meets with Greenspan 12/18/00 |
| | Bush came to Washington after a weekend that saw the announcements of four members of his administration: retired Gen. Colin Powell as secretary of state, Stanford scholar Condoleezza Rice as national security adviser, Texas Supreme Court Justice Alberto Gonzales as White House counsel and campaign communications director Karen Hughes as counselor to the president. | | | On the closely divided Congress, Bush said he told the congressional leaders that "there are going to be some times when we don't agree with each other." | | | "If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier," Bush said, pausing and then joking, "just so long as I'm the dictator." |

| | Let's put myths to rest |
| | Quite the contrary: Generations of historians have labeled Lincoln a "dictator." "Dictatorship played a decisive role in the North's successful effort to maintain the Union by force of arms," wrote Clinton Rossiter in "Constitutional Dictatorship." And, "Lincoln's amazing disregard for the Constitution was considered by nobody as legal." | | | James G. Randall documented Lincoln's assault on the Constitution in "Constitutional Problems Under Lincoln." Lincoln unconstitutionally suspended the writ of habeas corpus and had the military arrest tens of thousands of Northern political opponents, including dozens of newspaper editors and owners. |
