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.

I think Bush and Cheney probably paid him a large sum of money to be quiet.
Because if he revealed the things that he knew about Bush and Cheney, they would go to jail.

Of course he is. He gets to pay off his fines with the Scooter Libby Defense fund.
Bush II and his rich friends have contributed heavily to the fund. As a matter of fact Scooter will have enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life with what's left over.

united states of america of america has swallowed lies for thus long that that is much less complicated than doing the splendid element. Libby will settle for a pardon. different than for issuing legislations out of the administrative branch each and every time he makes certainly one of his unconstitutional "signing statements", see Celtic snap shots under for a number of the severe crimes and misdemeanors through bush. He has made a shambles of the Federal Acquisition rules, voided Taft-Hartley, and assumed powers prohibited through the shape. the guy makes Warren G. Harding look like a boyscout. all and sundry of those fools asserting he has accomplished no longer something unlawful might desire to pull their heads out and get some sparkling air. they might desire to be drained through now of finding on the interior of their decrease gastrointestinal tracts.

Bush has not broken 750 laws. Good grief. i think Libby is enjoying life as well as all the convicts Clinton gave immunity to the day he left office and was paid to do so.

What does one have to do with the other? Scooter was not pardoned his sentence was commuted. You know like what Clinton did to real criminals to advance his wife's career.
