750.
The number of laws “President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey…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. Among the laws Bush said he can ignore are military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems, ‘whistle-blower’ protections for nuclear regulatory officials, and safeguards against political interference in federally funded research.”

I’m sure he’s back on it now that he’s given his stand-up routine with himself as the ventriloquist AND the dummy. Quite apropos, actually.
April 30th, 2006 at 2:28 pmI alerted TP’s readers about this is the George Will thread because I just had to let you all know about it.
April 30th, 2006 at 2:29 pmYou can read the full story @ the Boston Globe. They did a huge article.
It’s sickening. And how can we get our rep’s to DO something about this?
750 LAWS! ARRRRRRRGGGGGG!
I expect our Congress, House and Senate, to do their job.
“One of the foremost non-legislative functions of the Congress is the power to investigate and to oversee the executive branch.”
April 30th, 2006 at 2:29 pmNo man is above the law…except… Cheney better get thoes ‘ pardon’ papers ready now.
Colbert rules…!
April 30th, 2006 at 2:29 pmWhatever happened to three strikes and you’re out? Queen George the Dumb should be serving 250 life sentences! Every member of the House and Senate should be cleanning his crapperin Leavenworth for not impeaching him years ago–say January 21, 2001.
April 30th, 2006 at 2:30 pmNo wonder Chimpy never vetoes anything — he doesn’t have to.
Here’s a thing about signing statements from Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_statement
April 30th, 2006 at 2:30 pmIn the article, Bruce Fein says Bush’s actions are “moving us toward an unlimited executive power.”
If Fein can’t bring himself to use the most obvious synonym for “unlimited executive power,” I can.
“dictatorship”
April 30th, 2006 at 2:33 pmColbert killed at the WH Corresp Dinner. Chimpy and Laurabot’s faces said it all as they were walking out. Can we say STONY? Chimpy sure was blotchy, maybe he got an early start at the bar? Helen Thomas is a great sport. Colbert was definitely too good for that room.
April 30th, 2006 at 2:34 pm10,000 expected in Washington to protest the situation in the Sudan, and the American people are so complacent that can’t manage to get together some of the 68% that know Bush ought to be thrown uncerimoniously out of office?

Super-sized, desperation television addicts who are afraid of their own neighbors and won’t leave their livingrooms unless it’s to buy-out milk, bread and toilet paper because it might snow next Monday.
Pathetic.
April 30th, 2006 at 2:46 pm#13 the problem as I see it with the weak MSM is they are afraid to use “Strong’ words as then they would be speaking truth to power.
We have been moving toward a dicatorship ever since the slug started running for office of the president. Big Oil and the Neo Cons knew what they were doing when they seized upon the weak minded gw bush and to explain what I mean by “weak minded” is his super size ego which is easily swayed by the thought of ‘Power’.
This dude really needs to be arrested and thrown into Ft Leavenworth for the sake of our Country. We are fast turning a corner that we will not be able to turn away from. Does anyone really relish the idea of a society much like Old Russia under Stalin? Or even the New Russia under bush’s “I’ve seen his soul” putin?
April 30th, 2006 at 2:49 pmI have a digital countdown for the # of days left in Bush’s presidency.
It reads 995 days. (9hrs,57min,30sec…to be exact)
I don’t think we’ll last that long.
April 30th, 2006 at 2:57 pmWe’ve got to do something.
Didn’t his party threaten to impeach Clinton for perjury after finding no proof whatsoever of him breaking any of about 750 laws? What are we waiting for to impeach this joker?

April 30th, 2006 at 3:12 pmIt behooves us all to read and reread the Declaration of Independence and follow in the footsteps of our ancestors and tell King George the Dumb to kiss our collective asses as pur frefathers told his namesake King George the Third. Just read the document and study the parrallels. With just a few word changes it is just as fitting today as it was in 1776.

April 30th, 2006 at 3:38 pmWell, if we can get 300,000 to turn out in NYC yesterday, in a few months we should be able to mobilize 1,000,000 to Washington. I suggest we take the bus, just like they did for the Civil Rights March. We need another freedom ride!

Of course 8 million people live in NYC alone. I’m kinda surprised it was only tens of thousands and not hundreds of thousands.
I’m with you, I just think it’s harder to get places now than it used to be.
April 30th, 2006 at 3:53 pmFrom the Boston Globe article:
The proper course of action, then, under the Constitutional system of checks and balances, is to challenge a law that one thinks is unconstitutional through the court system. The Supreme Court, ever since the decision in Marbury v. Madison, has had sole power to determine the constitutionality of the laws.
However, there are those challenging Bush’s interpretation of the laws only to have Congress take away their right to do so: the detainees in Guantanamo. By treaty they should have been tried in federal courts. Yet Congress stripped the courts of jurisdiction.
And as far as the United States citizen held for three years without charges as an “enemy combatant” the Administration finally charged him with a crime and sucessfully mooted his case at the Supreme Court, paving the way to hold other U.S. citizens indefinitely while their status gets challenged for years through the federal court system.
Since Congress has the right to restrict Federal jurisdiction, Congress can uphold the Commander-in-Chief’s interpretation of the law, simply by denying the people the ability to sue in federal court.
Without Congress’ complicity, the President would have been held accountable for committing ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ a long time ago. But, then again, He got re-elected, didn’t He? And the One Party in Power stayed in Power, didn’t it? This is, after all, democracy in-action.

April 30th, 2006 at 5:24 pmJames C Moore: Why shouldn’t Iran have nuclear weapons? Israel has American warheads ready to fire
As international political powers seek Iran’s capitulation on nuclear weapons development, little notice is given to what the Americans and the British have done to create this crisis nor what steps the Israelis might eventually take to make it profoundly more complicated.
Iran’s antipathy toward the West did not spontaneously generate out of the crazed rhetoric of radical mullahs. It has been spurred by what Iranians see as hypocrisy on the part of members of the world’s nuclear community, and the bumbled meddling of the US and UK in Iranian affairs for more than a half century.
Iran is dangerous, but the British and the Americans have helped to make it that way. And the situation is even more precarious than it appears.
Shortly after the Gulf War in 1991, Germany gave Israel two of its diesel-powered Dolphin-class submarines. The Israelis agreed to purchase a third at a greatly reduced price. In November 2005, Germany announced that it was selling two more subs to Israel for $1.2bn (£660m).
Defence analysts have suggested the Dolphin-class boats are a means for Israel to have a second-strike capability from the sea if any of its land-based defence systems are hit by enemy nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war is geopolitically afoot: Israel and the American president might not be willing to wait until after the first shot is fired.
Initially, Israel was expected to arm its submarine fleet with its own short-range Popeye missiles carrying conventional warheads. At least three mainstream publications in the US and Germany, however, have confirmed the vessels have been fitted with US-made Harpoon missiles with nuclear tips. Each Dolphin-class boat can carry 24 missiles.
Although Israel has not yet taken delivery of the two new submarines, the three presently in its fleet have the potential to launch 72 Harpoons. Stratfor, a Texas intelligence business, claims the Harpoons are designed to seek out ship-sized targets on the sea but could be retrofitted with a different guidance system.
According to independent military journalist Gordon Thomas, that has already happened. He has reported the Harpoons were equipped with “over the horizon” software from a US manufacturer to make them suitable for attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Because the shallow waters of the Persian Gulf make the Israeli subs easily detectable, two of them are reported to be patrolling the deeper reaches of the Gulf of Oman, well within range of Iranian targets.
If Israel has US nuclear weaponry pointed at Iran, the position of the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, becomes more politically supportable by his people. Despite the fact that Israel has been developing nuclear material since 1958, the country has never formally acknowledged it has a nuclear arsenal. Analysts have estimated, however, that Israel is the fifth-largest nuclear power on the planet with much of its delivery systems technology funded by US taxpayers. To complicate current diplomatic efforts, Israel, like Pakistan and India, has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty even as it insists in the international discourse that Iran be stopped from acquiring what Israel already has.
Before Ariel Sharon’s health failed, Der Speigel reported that the then Israeli prime minister had ordered his country’s Mossad intelligence service to go into Iran and identify nuclear facilities to be destroyed. Journalist Seymour Hersh has also written that the US military already has teams inside Iran picking targets and working to facilitate political unrest. It is precisely this same type of tactic by the US and the UK, used more than a half century ago, which has led us to the contemporary nuclear precipice.
In 1953, Kermit Roosevelt led the CIA overthrow of Mohamed Mossadeq, Iran’s democratic- ally elected prime minister. Responding to a populace that had grown restive under imperialist British influence, Mossadeq had plans to nationalise the vast oil fields of his country.
At the prompting of British intelligence, the CIA executed strategic bombings and political harassments of religious leaders, which became the foundation of Mossadeq’s overthrow. Shah Reza Pahlevi, whose strings were pulled from Downing Street and Washington, became a brutal dictator who gave the multinational oil companies access to Iranian reserves. Over a quarter of a century later, the Iranian masses revolted, tossed out the Shah, and empowered the radical Ayatollah Khomeini.
Iran has the strength needed to create its current stalemate with the West. Including reserves, the Iranian army has 850,000 troops – enough to deal with strained American forces in Iraq, even if US reserves were to be deployed. The Iranians also have North Korean surface-to-air missiles with a 1,550-mile range and able to carry a nuclear warhead.
America cannot invade and occupy. Iran’s response would likely be an invasion of southern Iraq, populated, as is Iran, with Shias who could be enlisted to further destabilise Iraq. There are also reported to be thousands of underground nuclear facilities and uranium gas centrifuges in Iran, and it is impossible for all of them to be eliminated. But the Israelis might be willing to try. An Israeli attack on Iran would give Bush some political cover at home. The president could continue to argue that Israel has a right to protect itself.
But what if Israeli actions endanger America? Israel cannot attack without the US being complicit. Israeli jets would have to fly through Iraqi air space, which would require US permission. And America’s Harpoon missiles would be delivering the warheads. These would blow up Iranian nuclear facilities and also launch an army of Iranian terrorists into the Western world.
But George Bush is still without a respectable presidential legacy. He might be willing to risk everything to mark his place in history as the man who stopped Iran from getting nukes. The greater fear, though, is that he becomes the first person to pull the nuclear trigger since Hiroshima and Nagasaki – and then his place in the history books will be assured.

The only drawback, as I am sure you are aware, is that you have to sit down to pee. Take it from one who is older, wiser, and happier, unless you are really older than dirt.
April 30th, 2006 at 6:52 pm#46 I would love to do that, but if I just sit on my ass while ‘Rome Burns’, I wouldn’t like myself. I OWE it to myself,America and the world to never let up trying better this world. Sheep just follow along…count me OUT of that. I’m 67, and they will have to pry ‘Freedom’ out of my cold dead hands.

April 30th, 2006 at 9:09 pmUnfortunately, this administration is in the habit of wholesale power grabbing whereby they change the rules first and then present the argument to provide the authority for the already existing outcome. When opponents of this administration assert that this backdoor approach is a pattern and practice, in light of numerous examples, it becomes increasingly difficult to ignore their argument. With this constant chiseling away at the delicate yet deliberate balance intended by the founders of our governmental system, one is left in doubt as to either the degree of Constitutional understanding or its disregard driven by the desire to dictate predetermined deviations.
The rationale for any necessary expansion of executive authority is undermined by the means by which this administration proceeds to obtain it. Such practice has the potential to make all future exchanges between the Congress and the President rife with skepticism. For these reasons, this is a failed policy strategy wholly entrenched in the Bush style of act first, defend vigorously, discuss when forced, and lastly compromise and co-opt the solution when defeated. For a President who fashioned himself as a protégé of Ronald Reagan, he has ironically become the purveyor of policies that Ronald Reagan characterized as requiring a strategy of ‘trust but verify’. Sadly, the cold war that pitted America against the Soviet Union has been replaced by an increasingly divisive internal cold war. History will ultimately determine if the America envisioned by our forefathers prevailed.

“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.”
You are the frog in boiling water.
May 1st, 2006 at 12:23 amWhat irks the hell out of me is that not only is Congress meeting for a record-low (or record low-tying) amount of days, but they aren’t even doing their Constitutionally-mandated jobs — acting as a co-equal branch of government — while in session.
This is FRAUD. This is ripping off the taxpayers. They are in effect stealing money now, and when they receive their pensions in the future.
Shameful behavior.
May 1st, 2006 at 9:38 am#27 – Briseadh – Without the complicity of Congress, none of this could have happened. But don’t think it’s because the Congress is Republican. This really started in the Reagan administration, when the Democrat-controlled Congress (100-seat majority) allowed Reagan to usurp the law-making power. Too late now.

You need to get rid of both parties. For every issue where a Democrat did it too, well there are other guys you can vote for, it isn’t like the Republicans and the Democrats are the only alternatives.
That is the issue which somebody needs to bring forward in November, that the American people really do have a wider variety of choices in candidates then they have been led to believe.
Some people here might believe that this weakens your chances of impeaching Bush, but Bush isn’t the issue now, the issue is that America lacks an opposition party. Look at the Republicans, look at how badly they have stuffed up, and then look at the silence from the Democrats. Even Fiengold’s resolution to censure the president, was too strong for most of those wimps.
Bush isn’t going to take a 3rd term without there being a civil war, but the president after him could well end up being ten times worse if he runs without credible opposition.
May 1st, 2006 at 10:24 amI completely agree. You can make a case that the Democrats are worse than the Republicans because they profess to be populists but act as oligarchs. Tip O’Neill did more to enable Reagan than any Republican. (Reagan’s approval rating was under 50% in 1983—-hard to believe.) I don’t see how it helps the progressive cause to support the Democrats because they represent the lesser of two evils. For one thing, they don’t; for another, they are not progressives. If they were truly progressive, they would have ensured that Reagan was a one-term president, would have supported Feingold, would have contested the 2004 election, would have supported Howard Dean, would have kept Alito off the Supreme Court…….
