Bush also killed the liberal ABA's role in vetting federal judges for Congress.
GWB signed an executive order enforcing the Supreme Court's Beck decision, too. The Beck decision wasn't being enforced because the Clinton administration signed an EO ordering the department not to touch any cases revolving around it. Thus, the Clinton administration was DEFYING the Supreme Court, yet the press refused to report it (what, "bias" in our media?!). Now the SCOTUS' decision is being enforced, which means that individual union workers can recoup every penny of their union dues that got spent (or gets spent in the future) for political causes/lobbying of which they disagree.
President Bush repealed Clinton's CO2 rules that were choking off electricity production in California (causing blackouts at the time), and GWB also repealed Clinton's OSHA "ergonomic" regulations that were about to put every home-business out of work.
Bush brought back our EP-3 intel plane and crew from China without any bribes or bloodshed, and he has started withdrawing our troops from Bosnia.
Another thing that the press won't repeat is that President Bush signed the LARGEST nuclear arms reduction in world history with Russia this year. Heck, the "anti-nuclear" Lefties in Europe even had the nerve to PROTEST Bush going to Europe to sign that treaty, and still the biased American media wouldn't report the irony.
President Bush's comprehensive review of our military, which was completed just prior to 9/11/01, accurately reported that ASYMMETRICAL WARFARE was our most pressing defense concern. This was the first comprehensive top-down review of our military in years.
Bush has expanded NATO, killed Kyoto, killed the International Criminal Court (for the U.S., anyway), armed pilots, legally withdrawn from the ABM treaty, and presently has CONSTRUCTION in process on the first ten ABM silos in Alaska, so that America will have a defense against North Korean nukes in a little more than a year.
Oh, and President Bush signed into law his campaign promise of the largest Dollar-amount tax cut in the history of the world.
Not too shabby for having an opposition Senate sniping at his every proposal...
