Hold on to your hats, and prepare to be enraged to the boiling poiint.

A deputy assistant attorney general under W. suggests that “A reinvigorated presidency outrages…Bush’s critics, who seem to believe that the Constitution created a system of judicial or congressional supremacy. Perhaps this is to be expected of the generation of legislators that views the presidency through the lens of Vietnam and Watergate. But the founders intended that wrong-headed or obsolete legislation and judicial decisions would be checked by presidential action, just as executive overreaching is to be checked by the courts and Congress.”

I cannot bring myself to quote him further, since my own rage is too great. But if you want to know how “they” are truly thinking – from the deepest pits of neocon hell – read this.
