Impeach

President

Bush


Unclaimed Territory should be read here, particularly with regards to commentary in The Federalist nr. 47. Specifically:
By proclaiming the power to ignore Congressional law and to do whatever it wants in the area of national security, it is seizing the powers of the legislative branch. But by blocking courts from ruling on the multiple claims of illegality which have been made against it, the administration is essentially seizing the judicial power as well. It becomes the creator, the executor, and the interpreter of the law. And with that, the powers of all three branches become consolidated in The President, the single greatest nightmare of the founders.

I'd be curious to see how many people out there don't see a problem with the Bush Administration trying to effectively take over all three branches of the government.
