The Courts Catch Bush Again
I know the ruling is subject to appeal. Once again, though, Bush has been caught claiming that he can decide on his own what's constitutional in his self-proclaimed War on Terror.
Today, once again, just as in the Gitmo case, a lower court reminded him that no one branch of government can run the country as it arbitrarily wishes just because it calls whatever it is doing a 'war'. (See my post of 6/29.)
The warrantless wiretapping scheme should be seen in the same light as Bush's Gitmo trial scheme. The wiretapping program without a warrant was another attempt by the radical right to arrogate power to the executive branch without regard to law or the separation of powers.
It's one thing for the Bushies to hate lawyers (although I'll bet Cheney's happy to have a good one). It's another thing to hate the constraints of the Constitution and the law itself.

George Bush in his his youth had a pact with the devil through his drinking habit and careless driving. The Supreme court can't expect him to abide by its rulings. Now he listen to the words of God. It's God that will settle any matter between him and the Supreme court if the God he believes in does accept appeals.
