You and I both know the executive branch has done this before and you agreed with it in that instance.

The mayor of Baltimore is not inciting mobs to fire on federal troops this time.

The mayor of Baltimore is not inciting mobs to fire on federal troops this time.

What? From his bed?

two o'clock a. m., on the 25th day of May, A. D. 1861, aroused from his bed by an armed force pretending to act under military orders from some person to your petitioner unknown

And not even definitive charges?

The case, then, is simply this: a military officer, residing in Pennsylvania, issues an order to arrest a citizen of Maryland, upon vague and indefinite charges, without any proof, so far as appears

Face it Walt, it's the same thing. Both cases unconstitutional. Of course we know who ignored those. Let's see if Bush is as uncaring about the Constitution, and from the looks of the National 'Inform on your neighbor and get money' Secret Police that's being set up, I'm of half a mind to believe that he is.
