Only 18% of Americans, in a new American Bar Association poll, believe that the President should be able to suspend constitutional rights in an emergency situation. 52% say that the President could never do this, and 25% say he can only with a warrant. Interesting numbers: you can see that when you ask the question if the president can "suspend constitutional freedoms," you get much less approval than if you asked "should the president spy on terrorists." Look for Republicans to continue calling this the "terrorist surveillance projects," and Democrats to call it "domestic spying." I'll be calling it illegal spying, because I call them like they are.
