Unitary Executive: euphemism for a kinder gentler dictator.
I can think of no other definition for unitary executive other than: dictator. Come on America! Wake the fuck up!

2. Kindler & gentler? The guy that bomb the heck out of Iraq to
grab oil wells? The guy that insisted on using depleted uranium thus condeming his armed forces and the Iraq people heath problems for generations? Yeah, real kind and gentle.

3. think "Enabling Act"
Though the process, such as it is, is very different, the logical outcome is essentially the same.

4. There IS no definition that does not = dictator
The very nature of a "unitary executive" is that it is wholly unaccountable to any other branch of government. Such unaccountability is the essence of a dictatorship.
