Snippet:

New York -- As Capitol Hill prepares to battle the White House over George W. Bush's expanding war powers, moderate Senators on both sides of the aisle are quietly considering a range of options that would attempt at the very least to delineate the President's authority, if not roll it back. Bush's claims of wartime license are so great-the White House and Justice Department have argued that the Commander in Chief's pursuit of national security cannot be constrained by any laws passed by Congress, even when he is acting against U.S. citizens-that some Senators are considering a constitutional amendment to limit his powers, Massimo Calabresi and Timothy J. Burger report in MONDAY's TIME.

As they sang in Little Shop


"Some fun now - oh joy, aren't we having some fun now."

This could be very entertaining. Somehow I get the image of Shrub stamping his foot like Veruca Salt saying "But I'm the President, you have to play by my rules." Dickie, they aren't playing fair.

I'm writing Arlen Specter a letter of support and sending it once I add a few finishing touches tomorrow.
