I am adding this courtesy of Nina, who writes:
This is the BEST analysis I've seen of the constitutional crisis we find ourselves in, with a president claiming literally unlimited power, including the power to break laws he and his advisors consider outdated, on the basis of the need to protect us from a nebulous enemy. It should be required reading: the author is a lawyer specializing in first amendment cases, he writes clear, carefully reasoned, eloquent prose. Reminds me of Jonathan Schell's old Fate of the Earth stuff. Also read his post from yesterday. My new top favorite site.

Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald: Bush's unchecked Executive power v. the Founding principles of the U.S.: "Underlying all of the excesses and abuses of executive power claimed by the Bush Administration is a theory of absolute, unchecked power vested in the Presidency which literally could not be any more at odds with the central, founding principles of this country."
