Maybe Cheney died and your dad is one of the many back-ups. The guy has nearly as much machine in him as Darth Vader; he's gotta have replacements.
If the opposite of pro is con, what is Congress?

No, he is not...although it is true that in CRIMINAL investigations a warrant is required for technical surveilance...that is not the case in National Security matters, the Presidents Constitutional powers (and indeed) his constitutional responsibilies supercede the lesser law.

Which constitutional powers would those be? As far as I know, the President does not have the power to supercede the law in the name of national security.

I love how Lucas got political with the latest Star Wars. It makes you feel like republcians come from the dark side (which is something most people in the world thought before anyway I suppose )

Hev, unfortunately, not most people, or Bush would not be President.

Most people in the world knew, unfortunately that could not be said for Americans. And I think the world TOTALLY gave up on us when we elected him a second time.
