before I put my foot in my mouth(about Alito), I need some info |
|
I watched all most all of the confirmation hearings. I told my partner that Alito claimed Bush, having 'war powers' authority, had the right to decide what is national security and act upon any measure to protect that national security. Which sounds like some sort of 'martial law' without formal enactment.
Did I hear this right?
