It is for such purposes that the executive branch exists. My problem with the executive branch is misusing power by using it when it is NOT necessary, not the use of power when it IS.

What gets my hackles raised is when (for example) the federal government wants to use powers reserved for the physical invasion of the mainland when the mainland has not been physically invaded. (i.e. suspension of habeas corpus, declaring citizens on the mainland to be enemy combattants etc.)
