Well it was unconstitutional until FDR stacked the courts. If he's a real conservative he would decide in favor of anyting that had to do with New deal type legislation being unconstitutional. I have my doubts though.
The real dangers are his views on executive power however, as Elphaba noted. As long as we can stay in perpetual war we might as well start calling the president king instead of commander in chief. All hail the king.
You know what though, I really don't see the Democrats taking a tough stand against this guy. As long as Bush doesn't seize absolute control by 08, Democrats have a great shot of inheriting all of this power that Bush has grabbed.
