Bush governs in dictator style
Op-ed from Sunday May 21, 2006 Cincinnati Enquirer written by a retired Republican Judge. Quotation followed by link:

Bush governs in dictator style
By Robert L. Black Jr.

The investigation by Congress of the surveillance of domestic telephone and e-mails calls is an absolute necessity, because the greatest threat at this time is not so much to our "security" as to the preservation of our constitutional system of government.

The underlying question is whether we will discard the checks and balances of the Constitution in favor of some sort of mythical guarantee of our security.

President Bush's approval of domestic surveillance is just the tip of the iceberg. the Boston Globe on April 30 (and the New York Times on May 12) reported that President Bush claims authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office.

2. About 1/2 the nation was for him before 1/2 of _them_ turned against him.
At least they recognize he's turned out to be a disaster.

Just cause their late to come into the vineyard doesn't mean that they can't labor honestly for the rest of the season.
