That the Bush administration disregards what the highest judicial power said with such controversial laws as the Military Commissions Act?

How did the SCOTUS come to be the final word on conducting a war? I thought there were three equal branches of gov't. The Court is now the Commander In Chief, too?

What does the Military Commission Act have to do with warrentless wiretapping? The answer to that is nothing. However, you are also incorrect about the Supreme Court saying that it was unconstitutional. The Federal Court in Detroit said it was unconstitutional. It was appealed to the 6th Circuit who declared that the wiretapping could continue until the appeal. The Supreme Court has issued pre-FISA rulings saying that warrentless wiretapping for foreign intelligence purposes is COMPLETELY constitutional under Article II.

Is it fair that people that some people get their opinions from the news or their friends - instead of reading the actual laws and courts opinions - and still get to vote?

no, it's not. but try telling that to a man who said God came to him n told him to invade Iraq. don't forget, he also signed away the writ of habeus corpus for detainees, ppl who r possibly innocent, some of them facing the death penalty if they are us citizens. it truly proves the saying 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'.
