AMY GOODMAN: How concerned are you about what's happening today?

FREDERICK SCHWARZ: Well, you know, what I really think, what I'm really concerned about is the theory that Dick Cheney first voiced many years ago and he's continued to voice and Bush's lawyers have voiced, which is the theory that the President has the right to break the law. Now -- and indeed that the Constitution gives the President the right to break the law. That's never been suggested before. It's being suggested now, and if it's not put down and defeated, we are in a slippery slope moving toward a much more totalitarian government that's like the monarchy which we supposedly -- we tried to put behind us when we had the revolution 200 years ago.
