18. And Presidents have been ignoring those protections since John Adams

Ever heard of the Alien and Sedition Acts? Presidents ignoring the constitution because it is convenient for them has about 200 years of precedent. I want Obama to respect the constitution but unlike some on this board, I realize that George W Bush isn't the first and won't be the last President to ignore the constitution.
