“…the doctrine of ‘emergency powers’ runs afoul of America’s Constitution… Anyone who bothers to read the Constitution will see that it:
     "Delegates to the General Government as a whole – or to Congress, the President, or the Supreme Court separately – no ‘emergency powers’ under that rubric;
     "Delegates neither powers that only an ‘emergency’ can call into existence, nor powers that may be exercised only in an ‘emergency’;
     "Delegates no power even to declare that an ‘emergency’ exists; and, perhaps most decisively of all,
     "Does not even employ the word ‘emergency’, let alone define it as a legal principle relevant to any part of ‘the supreme Law of the Land’.”
