As for the other branch, check out the decision today by Judge Luttig.
Who is bringing the lawsuit? Who has Article III standing to test what Bush is doing? He asserts the power to violate the law, and to not tell people when or how.

I don't hate Bush. I actually like the guy. Ditto with Cheney. When it comes to National Security I think their collectives hearts are in the right place. But I run in circles with many Republicans who loathe the two of them. People that take politics very personally.
In additon, these people have more money than God. From what I understand, they have decided to go legal and are leaving it up to the various law firms to establish standing. I talked to a developer from Orange County this morning who was so angry about this stuff he could barely speak and every other word was a curse. I felt like I needed to give him a tranquilizer. This civil liberty stuff really gets people excited.
I don't know exactly what they are going to do, but they are going to try something. And the State Party Chairman is going to blame me. Business as usual.
