I think one of the most important issues of the day revolves around the Bush Administration's ongoing efforts to inoculate the Executive Branch and the President from the normal check and balance procedures of the other arms of the Government.
Glen Greenwald discusses this in detail here. Read it. Your future freedoms may depend on it.
"But that theory of the Executive unconstrained by law is completely repulsive to the founding principles of the country, as well as to the promises made by the Founders in order to extract consent from a monarchy-fearing public to the creation of executive power vested in a single individual. The notion that all of that can be just whimsically tossed aside whenever the nation experiences external threats is as contrary to the country’s founding principles as it is dangerous."
