It was never the intent of the framers to give the president such unfettered control, particularly where his actions blatantly disregard the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights...There are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution. So all 'inherent powers' must derive from that Constitution.- U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, smacking down the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program.
Congressional Republicans responded with a news release titled "Liberal Judge Backs Dem Agenda To Weaken National Security." Calls for Judge Taylor's impeachment, I am sure, will be next.
