NOW HE TELLS US
[Kathryn Jean Lopez]

From that Gore speech today: A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government. Our Founding Fathers were adamant that they had established a government of laws and not men. Indeed, they recognized that the structure of government they had enshrined in our Constitution - our system of checks and balances - was designed with a central purpose of ensuring that it would govern through the rule of law. As John Adams said: "The executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them, to the end that it may be a government of laws and not of men."

Always amazing that the ones who scream loudest about "checks and balances" what to reduce the President's authority to that of a Congressional Clerk. Bush is doing EXACTLY what needs to be done. He is executing HIS authority as a CO EQUAL branch of Govt. Congress objects, some one brings a law suit and the Judiciary makes a ruling. That is HOW the system works.

Just absolutely disgusting how willingly the Hysteric Left, and their pseudo Conservative fellow travelers, are to go out and lie repeatedly to the American people.
