Then you seem to agree with me. There are cultural differences. Germans (certainly Germans of that time) did not value freedom in the way that we do.
I agree actually. And we have done that. The powers Bush has assumed were granted to him by Congress. And Congress could yank them back any time they felt like it.
Bush has not been overruled by the judicial branch. And the reason for that is precedent. Bush will not get away with anything that pisses off the majority of Americans. And though I know liberals don't like to hear it, the fact of the matter is that the Patriot Act and the war do not (*)(*)(*)(*) off most Americans. They are giving their implicit approval (or at least tolerance) by their inaction.

Ya, the patriot act and the military commision act really dont make people mad. I love knowing that Bush could at any time take me to guantanamo and hold me indefinitly, with no charges or right to council. No way to talk to my family or have any contact with the outside world. Torture me daily and treat me like an object. Makes me feel so warm inside.
