The consolidation of powers in the executive was an important one. That statement is utter nonsense.....Bush was pushing back against an erosion by the Court and Congress on Presidential power and prerogatives which began under NIxon and became particularly acute during the Clinton years...nothing fascist about that.....our Constitution establishes three co-equal branches of government which act as checks and balances on each other....

exec, leg and courts in constant struggle thu our history. Post 9/11 bush felt we were at war and he needed powers that war presidents typically have. You disagree with him on that but if you accepted the premise, you would more than likely approve. Dont forget FDR sent japanese americans to camps. With 20/20 hindsight we all would like to thing that we would have fought it back then. Its not that simple. BTW arab americans treated alot better than japanese americans.
