. . .Cass R. Sunstein, a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago. . . . argues that Bush's decision to conduct surveillance of Americans without court approval flowed from Congress's vote to allow an armed struggle against al-Qaeda. "If you can kill them, why can't you spy on them?" Sunstein said, adding that this is a minority view.

Their fascist fantasy that the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) turned Bush into a unitary authoritarian executive means Bush can not only spy on us without a warrant, he can kill Americans??!!!

The AUMF nullified the the Fifth Amendment???

No person shall. . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. . .

Perhaps the Washington Post needs to hear from us. Michael Powell seems to have missed a monumental revelation -- proof positive that the notion that Bush has unlimited unilateral power is not just a desecration of the institutions and principles we established under the Constitution, it is criminal insanity!!

. . .Bush's legal advice may be wrong, they say, but still reside within the bounds of reason. . .

The notion that this lunacy is in the realm of reason MUST be stamped out for one and for all.
