But...I do have issue with the last sentence of your post. Do you really believe this to be true in regards to the last 6 years? Remember, after 9-11, the country rallied around Bush. Any dissension from congress was labeled as "unpatriotic" and close to being treasonous. the power that was granted to this administration has not been seen since WW2. Sorry, Danzig, but the blame rests almost entirely on the Bush administration in this case.

from what i've read, the dems basically conceded any and all foreign policy regarding terror--they didn't want to be viewed as 'soft on terror' in the elections after 9-11. if bush suddenly had more power than he should have, i'd say more was given than taken! the blame can't rest almost entirely on bush, as the federal govt is not almost entirely vested in that branch of the fed govt. congress voted for the war, including sen kerry, yet now they 'see the light'. in other words, as polls and the wind blows...
so, if this all turns out right in the end....was all this b.s., because change wasn't affected over night, because it got difficult and sometimes ugly, suddenly unnecessary? would bush no longe be subject to calls for impeachment? if he deserves to be impeached, then so does every member of congress who voted for this. wouldn't break my heart to see that happen, cut corruption out from the core!
