So any time an idiot in Congress screws up, the all perfect president (I don't care who it is) can increase his powers in violation of law!!!

Wrong answer, the congressmen can be removed from office by law.

If we're not a nation of laws, then we have no nation, and the president is just a feel good dictator. No president gets to decide which laws he wants to follow and which he wants to ignore, if he does then he violates his oath of office and needs to be impeached (again, I don't care who it is).

So even if it means our servicement will die, intelligence sources will be compromised or we will be more prone to terrorist attack, the President should just follow a law passed by an idiotic anti-national-security Congress and signed by a treasonous president?

the loop hole exists for circumstances where lives are in danger, and bush is using it. no one said or has shown any law is being broken. this is why the lefties are not crying bloody murder. and the fact that they know the american people are better off for it. it is costing them a little face time, that's about it. and now we miss out on dashole and company racing to the nearest reporter whenever secret info is shared, they will probably get fatter for lack of exercise

Which is why it's good to bookmark "The coming American dictatorship" and read it once a month.
