There are many court decisions regarding this. Maybe you should look them up so you can discuss this from an informed perspective. And I notice you completely sidestepped the wartime aspect of the discussion. I wonder why?
Keep in mind that anything you grant to a Republican can also be used by a Democrat.
I am quite aware of that. But that still does not change the fact that Congress has limited ability to intrude on executive powers. You want Congressional powers to be sacrosanct but have no problem curbing the executive. Quite frankly, Congress has done FAR more to infringe rights than the Executive.
Congress has a remedy - impeachment and removal of a president who abuses executive powers. But its legislative remedies are limited.
Yep, the same courts who once ruled black people were property and still say the same of the pre-born. I'll go with the original text before some liberal judge's interpretation of it. Quite frankly, Congress has done FAR more to infringe rights than the Executive.
You're right. If they had done this they'd be the one I'm dumping on. Our Constitution was written at a time when the threat of espionage, invasion and attacks on civilians was even greater than today, and our Founding Fathers didn't grant sweeping spy powers to the President.
