Right there's the whole problem with your argument. Your check on government power involes "trusting" the administration, instead of in the past where you didn't have to trust them because the constitution, laws and balances of power prevented the abuse while allowing the executive branch to do it job.
I don't understand how you can dislike FDR's internment of American citizens when Bush is preparing to do the same thing. Under the Bush adminstration all that has to happen is for you to meet the loose definition of a terrorist or enemy combantant and the door has been opened for your internment. Take off your political party blinders and stop "trusting".
