Apparently you have no problem with modern day “writs of assistance,” but I have one big problem with our government body ignoring present laws in exchange of usurping certain rights and granting bodies of government expanded powers not enumerated in the Constitution. But hey, I don't live in a belief that hell is not paved in good intentions, “tyranny and security in exchange for rights” is.
"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."--- Not some DUmmie or KOS whiner but James Madison, someone who had a pretty good understanding of a certain document he helped craft.
Where is the word ‘oversight’ in the Constitution? Each branch has separate powers that create the checks and balances needed but the President does not have to answer to the Congress of the Court in regards to exercising power that the Constitution specifies as power granted to him. The Constitution grants the power of Commander in Chief to the President. Do you think he should have to gain permission to defend this nation from a foreign enemy? Do you think that it is a committee of commanders that the Constitution calls for?
Every President since Washington has exercised their power as Commander in Chief without regard of permission of oversight from Congress. Congress can though of course try to ‘check’ the power of the President through means of impeachment or other means if they feel that a President is abusing his power.
