Is Bush signing bills into laws and then breaking them?

A bill becomes the rule of the land when Congress passes it and the president signs it into law, right?

Not necessarily, according to the White House. A law is not binding when a president issues a separate statement saying he reserves the right to revise, interpret or disregard it on national security and constitutional grounds.

That's the argument a Bush administration official is expected to make Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who has demanded a hearing on a practice he considers an example of the administration's abuse of power.

"It's a challenge to the plain language of the Constitution," Specter said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm interested to hear from the administration just what research they've done to lead them to the conclusion that they can cherry-pick."

This is just another example of a man who believes that he answers to a higher calling and therefore is not limited by the laws of man.

George Bush's pathology makes him possibly the most dangerous man on the planet today. If Congress cannot curtail his monstrous abuses of power then he could very well destroy our country.

And make no mistake, for George Bush to be stopped we need the Democrats to gain control of the House or the Senate. It is our only hope.
