In an interview with this reporter, law professor Marjorie Cohn says that president's new Military Commission Act of 2006 "gives Bush the power of a dictator."

According to the Thomas Jefferson School of Law prof, "the Military Commissions Act of 2006 is the culmination of relentless fear-mongering by the Bush administration which began with the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Because the bill was adopted with lightning speed, barely anyone noticed that it empowers Bush to declare not just aliens, but also U.S. citizens, as 'unlawful enemy combatants' and to detain them indefinitely. In the case of non-US citizens the bill voids their right to Habeas Corpus.'"
