We shouldnt be concerned about some unknown guerilla rewriting the Constitution when the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee had this to say about the separation of powers on Meet the Press today:
Quote:
TIM RUSSERT: Senator Roberts, let me ask you a very serious question. Do you believe that the Constitution gives the President of the United States the authority to do anything he believes is necessary to protect the country?
ROBERTS: Yes, but I wouldn’t say anything he believes. I think you go at it very, very carefully. And that’s been done by every president that I know of.
