in "06, Lessons about the executive power", Yoo is absolutely incorrect. If you take what he says, and look for any support of his claims in the Constitution, you will see with ease that he is incorrect. His claims might be more accurate when discussing Roman government, but not the federal government of these United States. On a separate note, I hope Yoo gets tortured, since he's an advocate of it.
