You miss the fact that those special powers were assigned days after 9-11. So your still flapping in the constitutional breeze.

Special powers assigned by who? By what process?

Delegated powers must be through the amendment process, not a declaration of a judge, not by a simple vote by Congress, and certainly not via an executive order.

So tell me again who authorized these 'special powers'?
