Of course it is a very dangerous power which could destroy all our freedoms. Nixon resigned before certain impeachment for apparently abusing it.

Because it is so dangerous, and because we are fighting something that has no end in sight, I'd rather not see it used, because the people will become used to it, and the politicians would become used to wielding it.

Any president who didn't use it to defend the country from a foreign attack would also face certain impeachment.

If President Bush was interested in defending the country, he would have done something about the borders after 9/11. How many years has it been since 9/11?

Hey, you're not a patriot!! If you've been paying attention, you'll see that, since 9/11, Bush has signed into law 1500+ pages of beauracracy (Patriot Act), spent billions of $$$ like a drunken sailor, created unprecedented amts of federal gov't, spent billions on disaster relief, spent billions more on Medicare and Transportation...well, he's just spent billions and billions of dollars!!

Who cares about our porous Southern border - we're fightin' the terrorists over there so we don't have to fight 'em over here!!

/massive sarcasm, esp. that 'patriot' part, seeing as how you're a vet whose service I thank you for!
