The President, in another one of those signing statements he uses to subvert the Constitution, claims the right to override a congressional enactment limiting the power to edit Homeland Security's required annual report on how the departments activities have affected privacy. In other words, W has again declared his intention to defy the law and burrow into the private lives of citizens.
What will it take to stop this guy?
Impeachment is one answer.
In a bit of comic relief, the signing statement also expressed Bush's intent to ignore a requirement that nominees for FEMA director have five years' experience and "demonstrated ability in and knowledge of emergency management and homeland security." According to the signing statement, that provision "rules out a large portion of those persons best qualified by experience and knowledge to fill the office." Like Brownie.
Can they keep a straight face while they put out this bilge?
