Bush says he can edit security reports


WASHINGTON - President Bush, again defying Congress, says he has the power to edit the Homeland Security Department's reports about whether it obeys privacy rules while handling background checks, ID cards and watchlists.

In the law Bush signed Wednesday, Congress stated no one but the privacy officer could alter, delay or prohibit the mandatory annual report on Homeland Security department activities that affect privacy, including complaints.

But Bush, in a signing statement attached to the agency's 2007 spending bill, said he will interpret that section "in a manner consistent with the President's constitutional authority to supervise the unitary executive branch

5. Edit = Falsify.
And the subject of that "edited" report is then royally screwed for life.

Smug, arrogant, fascist bastard. I just can't wait to see his downfall.

7. Where is the outrage
Where is the outrage that bush can do anything he wants and get away with it. Hopefully his "reign of terror" will soon be waning. Hopefully a new congress will hold this person accountable for the destruction he has brought on this country. And the violations he continues to do to the constitution.

9. grounds for impeachment - disobeying the constitution which says
a president must implement the laws as written by congress OR veto those laws. that is all, the only choices allowed.

now if we just had congresspersons in any party who loved the USA more than they loved the graft and corruption they get.
