Then the executive branch should be able to subpoena the members of Congress and ask them about their support of al-Qaeda. And their treason in this support and many. many of the Democrats and a few RINOS are true Al-Qaeda supporters in the US Congress.

“The court said it did not address specific claims of executive privilege that Miers and Bolten may assert. “Nor should this decision discourage the process of negotiation and accommodation that most often leads to resolution of disputes between the political branches,” the opinion said.”

I suppose it would also be within executive authority to carpet bomb the Capitol Building, as a part of a "police action", if the President so chooses. That might actually be a great idea!

The executive branch already has the power to do that. The Justice Department, for example, just indicted Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. You should write to attorney general Michael Mukasey and ask why he doesn't do what you're demanding.
