Yeah, there's lots of maneuvering going on to protect Bush and make Congress look tough at the same time. But you do get the sense the Repukes are concerned with presidential mis-use of power. That issue wasn't debated before this year.

3. I don't think they care about his misuse of power, I think

there concerned that they are losing some of their power. That's the whole issue. they couldn't give a flying *F* about his misuse of anything.

4. What they are concerned about

is getting tied to a corrupt drunk with an approval rating south of 40% as election time approaches....especially because he's demanding extraordinary powers while delivering such incompetent performance.

Look at the pickle Rick Santorum finds himself in with Pennsylvania voters....

5. So you think Bush is gonna follow the law ?

It's all window dressing.

7. If Congress and the courts make him--He will--but not otherwise.
