if that's not unconstitutional, i don't know what is.
even the world net daily describes the act as giving him "near dictatorial powers" in the event of a national catastrophe.
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=55824
to sum it up, if some major event occured, the president would be allowed to label it a national catastrophe. if the election were near, the elections would be scrapped, and bush would continue to be president. congress would also be scrapped, bush and a few others would have complete power. also take note how the president is the only one who can declare the event a national catastrophe.
not only that, but if the constitution is scrapped, whose to say bush won't also take away all of our rights, maybe even declare martial law? who knows, maybe he'll even use wiretaps to root out those deemed unloyal. sorry if i sound paranoid, i'm just brainstorming
i really don't think this is a partisan issue, it's unconstitutional no matter what way you look at it.
