I for one, do not like to see the Executive define its own limits of authority. There is a good 4th Amendment argument to be made against many provisions of the 'Patriot Act'. We'll see which side Thomas comes down on when it comes before the USSC. If this program is Constitutional then I want to read the Court's opinion on where in the Constitution such executive power exists. Rationalizations in the present could rob us of God given rights that we may well need in the future.
The next President will not be George W. Bush.
