The President can not pass a law, that is the responsibility of Congress. ...This thread is a joke rationally, but I'm sure you'll get a lot of fellow Bush-bashers to provide plenty of conspiracy theory inspired hate-speech against our president.
Bush has given himself almost total power through the Emergency Measures Act and Bioterrorism legislation.

It sounds to me like you're accusing the president of usurping powers by passing laws.

I just think the anti-Bush rhetoric seems to be a bit over the top. Any group affected by Bush's alleged law-breaking can sue the administration in Federal court and have any decision by the executive branch overturned if it is not deemed by the courts to be a valid interpretation of the law, and have any law overturned if it is deemed to be unconstitutional. There are checks and balances in our system that iron out any problems like these. As far the coming of the NWO, I'd be much more worried about Hillary being president with Bill as UN Secretary General if I were you.

What about the individuals? Have you ever put to test these these so called checks? I have. Try to get an attorney to listen to anything that has to do with taking on the government! Just try!

Michael Newdow is suing the government to keep the President from having a prayer said on his inauguration and place his hand on the Bible while saying an oath. Of course he will lose because he has no case in law or the constitution, but if you have proof the government is breaking laws and this is affecting you personally, the court will be more than happy to deal with the executive branch harshly.

I think we should give the government the benefit of the doubt in trying to combat this new enemy since all indications I see is that it is fighting for us, not against us.

It is sad that this board is becoming more and more infected by anti-american Liberal BS. The anti-bush hate is becoming tiresome. Liberalism is in fact a sickness for the weakminded. Spend sometime researching the EVIL such hate has done to america and you will end up at 911 all over again. Please get help while you can, 63,000,000 voters will no longer listen to such HATE. Be careful of the coming backlash. Your HATE may be self fulfilling when they riot in the streets and drag all of you off into prison.

When the 63,000,000 "moron" wake up perhaps they are going to exact revenge on the slavemaster liberal "elite".

soficrow, I probably did overreact to your post, I think I read several really anti-Bush posts in a row, so I apologize. ...I must reiterate we do have checks and balances in our system and it has held up well over the years. Historically there have been many instances of suspension of rights and power usurpations that vastly exceed anything done by the Bush administration. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the civil war. Franklin Roosevelt actually set up concentration camps in the U.S. for Japanese-Americans and also tried to neutralize the Supreme Court's power with his court-packing plan. The Alien and Sedition Acts were much harsher than anything in the Patriot Act.
