Congressman Conyers: Good article on signing statements

Elizabeth Drew wrote an excellent article on the Bush Administration's "unprecedented grab for power." Covering the signing statements, the NSA warrantless wiretapping, and the "unitary executive" theory, Drew puts together a very compelling summary of how the Bush Administration has clearly overstepped its constitutional authority, and trampled upon the separation of powers. It is well worth the read.

1. interesting articles, both - dems need to start talking about this OR

orgs like move on could run some ads explaining why bush thinks he is a king not a president and the congress is letting bush getting away with it.

rembember, the claim IS true, but the ads do not have to defend the claim, JUST MAKE IT! it is up to the bush mob to defend the claim.
the claim will not sink in until it is made repeatedly.
