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.

Do you mean George Washington?
So, in other words, you have NO INTENTION of reading up on this.

Hey, knock yourself out. But the courts have quite a bit more sway in this matter than you do.

I guess those attacks on the WTC were just a dream, kinda like Bobby being in the shower in Dallas.

Oh, puh-leeze. The stuff Lincoln did during the Civil War was far more draconian than anything Bush is doing now. And you also might read up on the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by ... the Founders. So much for your claims.
Oh, and Washington? He sent the military to crush the Whiskey Rebellion. So much for a weak executive in domestic affairs.
