I Read Too Much
For example, this morning I ran by this article:
If elected president, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office.
Those that don’t pass muster will be overturned, he said.
It was...refreshing...to read this after dealing with Dick and the decider's emphasis on a unitary executive.
"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.
Seven and a half years of this joke and the country isn't laughing anymore.
But there was something more to that story. Something familiar. It took a while, but then I remembered the damn question posed by Cernig a while back.
He seems to like getting an answer to it, finally, as well:
That wins it right there, for me.
As Spencer writes: "One hopes that the review process is a matter of taking out everything signed by David Addington or John Yoo or Donald Rumsfeld and writing in red pen across the top EPIC FAIL or ROFLCOPTER."
I can only imagine how many signing statements and executive orders could fall by the wayside...
