The Law Is the Law . . . Unless You're George Bush
Why doesn't George W. Bush simply declare himself Fuhrer and be done with it?
According to this article, he signed the bill that supposedly prohibits the federal government from torturing people and in the next breath issued a statement saying that he would comply with the law only whenever and wherever he felt like it.
Why bother having legislative and judicial branches then? Let's just make the president dictator and get it over with. You can be sure the red-state fascists would cheer it on with all their might--as long as they could be sure no Democrat would ever become president again.
