My question is…
Why is only a single member of Congress (and a republican one at that) speaking out about King George’s blatant abuse of power? I guess the rest of them are just being “good Germans”.
The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, accusing the White House of a ‘‘very blatant encroachment” on congressional authority, said yesterday he will hold an oversight hearing into President Bush’s assertion that he has the power to bypass more than 750 laws enacted over the past five years.
‘’There is some need for some oversight by Congress to assert its authority here,” Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania, said in an interview. ‘‘What’s the point of having a statute if . . . the president can cherry-pick what he likes and what he doesn’t like?”</i>
Every democrat in Congress should start the day by reading a list of the statutes Bush has sidestepped into the Congressional Record, for starters.
