Which powers? 1. The power to order warrantless wiretaps - without the approval of a special panel of judges established by Congress under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. Republican Sen. Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has disputed that assertion, as have others in both parties. 2. Bush's assertion of the power to hold American citizens indefinitely as "enemy combatants". 3. The authorization of harsh treatment of prisoners 4. Bush's use of signing statements to declare how he will interpret laws passed by Congress No doubt you will call me a pinhead, traitor, liberal whiner, terrorist queer and whatever else you can conjure up. But, I have plenty of company: Conservative Congressman Bon Barr, one of the prosecution managers of Clinton's impeachment trial, and no liberal jerkoff, said of the Bush power grab: "There are important constitutional principles that are involved here that seem to have been violated. ... I agree with the [former] vice president that these are very serious matters. They need to be looked into." Which powers are you talking about?
