Law 'n Order

Remember when Republicans were the party of "law and order?"

Charlie Savage in The Boston Globe reports that George W. Bush has claimed authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, including statutes about military rules and regulations, affirmative-action, whistleblower protection for nuclear-regulatory officials and safeguards against political interference in federally-funded research.

The imperial presidency reaches Nero-like proportions. Can Caligula be far behind?
