den 24 juli Not Since the Nixon EraThere hasn’t been such a corrupt or power hungry president as George W. Bush since Nixon - more than 30 years ago. With each passing day, my disgust and frustration grows deeper and deeper.
The New York Times and many other papers (including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer) published a report that the American Bar Association has accused President Bush of, "flouting the Constitution and undermining the rule of law." I could not agree more. It's an embarrassment to our nation and a black eye on American Democracy.
How dare President Bush criticize nations like Russia when he too is skirting, avoiding, and ignoring our own laws? When are the fat and apathetic American people going to rise up and demand his impeachment! George Bush IS NOT the man we need leading our nation during the war on terrorism.
The signing statements mentioned in the article are clearly anti-democratic. Judicial review should be sought immediately. I don’t care how many presidents have used them in the past. I believe they are wrong except in the most extreme circumstances (such as a law that is possibly unconstitutional. And even then, the President should have to issue a statement as to why he will not enforce the provision and he should be required to seek a judicial opinion on the law’s constitutionality. The fact that George Bush has used signing statements more than other presidents demonstrates clearly that he and his administration are using subterfuge in order to ignore the rule of law.
I'm ashamed to call him my President. KommentarerLogga in med ditt Windows Live ID (om du använder Hotmail, Messenger eller XBox LIVE har du ett Windows Live ID) om du vill lägga till en kommentar.
