Sumo over at Sumo Merriment has a couple of links to worthwhile posts. The first by Shadow Monkey and the second by Tom Baker. Here is a taste of the two.
A Constant State Of Emergency by Shadow Monkey"This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional processes. Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."
Fight Damn You, Fight by Tom Baker
I hate to say this, but I agree with President Bush that we are at war against an enemy that wants to destroy the very fabric of our civilization. We are at war with people who do not share our values, our ideals, and our morality. We are at war with people who believe that the ends justify the means, no matter how heinous, barbarous or uncivilized the act.
Ourselves.
