In a post 9/11 world it seems he can get away with a heck of a lot, but isn't it his job to be the chief of following the law and not breaking the law. Al qaeda hates us for our freedom, yet Bush thinks violating 200 year old laws is a good way to combat terrorism. The Bush administration is saying it's above the law and that the fourth amendment means nothing.
Even if you love Bush, would you want a Hillary Clinton or another democrat to have this kind of power when they take office? What if by chance we get a real tyrant in office with the ability to do these kinds of things? The threat of an executive branch of government with the unchecked ability to circumvent the Constitution is a much greater threat than al qaeda ever could dream of being.
Once this lack of regard for the law is established, all it takes is one bad apple to get elected for the Police-state to come crashing down on us.
