Bush Challenges Hundreds Of Laws
"President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution."
Go read this great article by Charlie Savage of The Boston Globe. This article discusses how the President has been choosing which laws are conveinent for him and which aren't and how he has been stretching his executive power to the extent where it is excercising power in the legislative and judicial realms.
"Without court involvement, only Congress can check a president who goes too far. But Bush's fellow Republicans control both chambers, and they have shown limited interest in launching the kind of oversight that could damage their party."
A good read.
Hat Tip to Pam. Thanks Pam!
