Delusional - Article Two, Section 2, First Paragraph gives the President the power to pardon the “evildoers,” not to wiretap them.

Moreover, regarding “unreasonable searches and seizures,” Amendment IV guarantees that right to “the people,” not simply the citizenry. So, much as I despise Islamofascists, one can make a legitimate argument that Amendment IV on its face also appears to protect enemy aliens on American soil.

What is with the pantywaists in this country (and on this site) who esteem their freedoms so lightly, who think those turkeys are some kind of supermen, that they must surrender their liberties - and ours! - in order to defeat them? I commend to such people these words of Samuel Adams: “May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

This is proof that you know nothing about the constitution and are mentally unsuitable to trust.

The constitution provides for the common defense, not for the defense of enemies.

Your argument reinforces the call for a review of all illegal immigrants on the basis that they are here. Deporting non-citizens (illegal aliens) would be wrong because they deserve all the rights and privileges of the constitution just because they are on US soil.

It also makes him Commander in Chief during times of war.

"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States..."

One of the things that Commanders do in wartime is try to listen in on communications between enemy combatants to try to determine their strategy and stop them. It's called Signals Intelligence.
