.... Actually, he's probably got a point here. This is basically what Attorney General Gonzales argued, both before and during the Judiciary Committee hearings on the NSA. He interprets the Constitution to say that, in time of war, the role of Commander-in-Chief gives the President the power to do whatever is necessary to combat our enemies, including ignoring, when necessary, laws passed by Congress, and international laws and treaties. Or did I misunderstand what the Attorney General said?....

Imo, you understand the AG correctly ..... and the AG correctly understands the President's powers when the country is at war.
