yes, they have been since 9/11
There is little room for doubt that the Bush Regime places itself above both domestic and international law. A few illustrations include:
1. wiretapping of US citizens without seeking FISA court approval (the FISA court has granted approval to virtually every request it has considered)
2. passing and renewing the Orwellian Patriot Act which seriously violates four of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights
3. the invasion and occupation of Iraq, a sovereign nation which had not attacked the United States and had posed no imminent threat
4. suspending habeas corpus and posse comitatus
5. defying the Geneva Conventions by arbitrarily arresting, detaining and torturing at least 14,000 alleged "enemy combatants"
6. significant expansion of Executive powers by adding signing statements (which direct the Executive branch to implement laws as the president sees fit rather than as Congress intended) to over 750 laws.

No, actually Bush and Cheney have very little to do with what happens in Congress. No legislation reaches them, as it cannot get past the House due to the Dems only having a one person majority.

No. In point of fact it is Congress trying to steal power.

No, the Republican Houses gave up their power to the President. Now we are waiting to see what the Democrat Houses will do, if anything.

No they are not. You must have missed the memo that the Dems were in control.
