People here think that they know the Constitution, Brucie. And they think that the President would never, ever, violate it.

Even though -- Lincoln suspended Habeus Corpus, and it can be argued, deprived citizens of property (slaves) without either due process or recompense. FDR interned Italian- and Japanese- Americans, of course, depriving them of liberty without due process.

It also seems that you can get away with almost anything if you claim it's necessary for "National Security."
