There definitely seems to be a pattern in Bush’s behavior. The individual actions are bad enough, but taken all together they become truly scary.

Brenda, that’s great to hear that you emailed our representatives. I personally need to do that more often. It’s unfortunate that they often don’t seem to listen, but it’s still important to try to get through to them.

I wish pollsters would have the nerve to ask some useful questions, such as:

1. When it comes to a choice between upholding the US Constitution or upholding a President’s ideology, which do you believe is more important to uphold?

2. Are rich people entitled to more right than ordinary Americans?

3. Do government officlals have to obey the law like the rest of us?

4. Should there be limits on a president’s powers or should he be able to do pretty much what he wants?

5. The US Constitution says the Congress will decide what is law. The current president says he decides ultimately what is law. Which do you favor: the US Constitution or the president?

6. Does the government have the right to overhear your phone conversations or inspect your e-mail on the remote chance that it might help catch a terrorist?

And the list goes. I’ve been reading some polls that suggest Americans are beginning to resist Bush’s notions of power.

Well at least in this case he had the decency to release a statement. If you missed this, earlier this month, Bush signed into law a bill that did not pass the House of Representatives. It’s a blatant violation of the Constitution. See for yourself at the Raw Story.

I have e-mailed our Congressmen concerning my objections to President Bush’s IMO illegal actions several times now. But, apparently not enough of us feel this way, or Congress would do something about it. It is an extremely dangerous precedent to allow a president, or any official, to get away with. It is a truism however that people get the government they deserve; and if our apathy allows a president to ignore our Constitution then we deserve a dictatorship and the corruption and limitations to our liberties that goes with it.

I read somewhere that His Highness has issued far more signing statements than any president in history.
