That post also shows that he already is sure he *knows * what the “real” objection to Bush’s actions is. It simply cannot be a genuine concern about separation of powers and the rule of law in a democratic republic, no, it can only be simple reflexive partisanship by habitual Bush-bashers.
And since he is quite correct…
Since you’ve got some spare time, Shodan, any thoughts on my questions of post #74?
And when you’re done with Taran, could you offer up a defense of the NSA surveillance and Bush’s statement that he will violate parts of Patriot II. You know, add something positive to a debate for once.
Yeah, sorry, that was what I meant-in both cases, Congress refused to provide funding for a specific program, and the administration just found another way to pay for it.
Update: Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has decided to confront Bush over this issue and at least demand an explanation: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2006/05/10/bush_vs_congress/
Meanwhile . . . It still appears only the Boston Globe is giving the story the coverage it merits. Well, the Boston Globe and Steven Colbert.
