Bush-era records released under the Freedom of Information Act raise concerns about the powers presidents might claim during crises, from suspending habeas corpus to implementing an internet kill switch.
We have been left to wonder whether existing documents still green-light the violation of Americans' constitutional rights and civil liberties, or if modern sensibilities and understandings of the law have moderated their approach.
This sentence is implying that the Bush era is not "modern". That things are probably different now... In the modern day with "modern sensibilities", while Roe v Wade is being overturned.
The President has more powers than the office had under Bush. Even Bush wasn't brazen enough to claim the authority to kill US citizens without trial or oversight of any kind. That was Obama.
