Bush Says He Is Above The Law

This is from the Boston Globe:

WASHINGTON -- 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.

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.


The media may be reluctant to call Bush a dictator but that's exactly what he's acting like and if Congress does not get on the ball and impeach this deluded bastard, we the people might have to take Jefferson's advice and change our government.
