The proposal would put the power into the hands of the commander in chief. Bushco has already declared that we are in a continual state of war. Under such a proposal, the voting booths could be closed for an indeterminate span of time. It is bad enough that the power to envade without well proven cause is bad enough. This would almost guarantee that this sort of power will be abused if put in the hands of a proven cabal of liars who invaded Iraq under the convoluted claim that Iraq was a threat to the US. How anyone could trust this administration is beyond me. They have proved they will do anything to guarantee a continuation of a Bushco administration.
