If the president FEMA, judging by their 'success' after hurricane Andrew, should not be any worry. BTW, before and during the civil war, Lincoln suspended the writ of habeous corpus, arresting some (most) of Maryland's legislature so they couldn't vote for secession, commadeered the telegraphs, preventing newspapers from sending/receiving information. Several court challenges went against him, which he ignored and continued the suspend various constitutional rights. Look waht Nixon did on the "Saturday night masscre", of course, he was eventually caught. :)
