As I have previously posted, there are many in this country (much brighter and more knowledgeable than myself) who believe that the president has the authority through article II of the constitution to protect the country from foreigners. Included in this authorization would be the use of wiretaps on American communication with known terrorist outside the country. In his article The Hidden State Steps Forward Jonathan Schell uses the word "undisutably" to start his proposition that the Bush administration broke the law. Indisuptable only if you are a whacked out leftie. He also claims the "Commander in Chief possesses "inherent" authority to suspend laws in wartime". The president did not suspend any law and I believe Mr. Schell is either ignorant or just a plain partisan hack to make this statement. I would refer Mr. Schell to this thoughful and lengthy explanation of the presidents authority and legality http://powerlineblog.com/archives/012631.php in this matter. It will either enlighten or infuriate Mr. Schell and his ilk. The rest of the article is full of lies and misrepresentations. The same old drum beat of Bush lies and breaks the law. The same stollen election and government to benefit the rich. This is how the left sees. As long as they persist in ignoring the truth, the lefties of his ilk will be left out of power. If for some reason, the people who believe the way Mr. Schell does ever do get back into power, the country will be in big trouble. Then people really will get killed, by true enemies who will be allowed to hide behind civil liberties and freedom. Instead of fighting a war on terrorism, we will take them to court prosecute the full extent of the law.
