To avoid such potential infirmities, the executive branch will interpret and construe such provisions in the same manner as I have previously stated in regard to similar provisions.With this, David Addington can say he has preserved all possible constitutional objections -- no waiver! [read post]

In plain truth, it is only the executive power fanatics like Vice President Cheney, David Addington (Cheney's counsel), and John Yoo (the author of the notorious torture memo) who actually believe that the president has the constitutional authority to disregard federal law whenever he thinks it would be useful to do so.
