Balance of power
CNN, among others, is reporting about John Ashcroft's recent statement:
The danger I see here is that intrusive judicial oversight and second-guessing of presidential determinations in these critical areas can put at risk the very security of our nation in a time of war ...
So, judicial oversight,
something the Constitution establishes, is risky to our nation? Is this why we're considering a replacement [Wikipedia] who feels that [the war on terror] renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitation of questioning of enemy prisoners
[PDF]? And is this why the first Bush, in a recent interview with Cokie Roberts, spent most of his time complaining about the other branches of government slowing him down? And is this why people are worried about the current Bush appointing up to three Supreme Court justices?
