Most those who think Bush should have broad, nearly unchecked powers would be singing a different tune if a Democrat were president. Of course, most those who see Bush's power-grabs as a great evil would also be singing a different tune if a Democrat were president.

It strikes me that something like the legitimacy of the effect of the WTO's dispute resolution body on domestic regulation and the breadth of the presidents wartime powers are <i>entirely</i> different issues...
