Have you been wondering (as I have) why this administration has continuously been allowed to supersede the constitution?
Don't get stymied by the cognitive dissonance associated with thinking the unthinkable. If the constitution is being superseded, then it is no longer the law of the land.
Literally.
If it looks like a duck, it's pretty much always a duck...
FIRST:
From Whitehouse.gov:
Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks
RSS Feed White House News
Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines flight 93, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.
Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, last extended on September 5, 2006, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2007. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

"Simply by proclaiming a national emergency on Friday, President Bush activated some 500 dormant legal provisions, including those allowing him to impose censorship and martial law."
