1. Anybody with a decent knowledge of Presidents know that
Edited on Sat Jun-17-06 01:55 PM by Poppyseedman
bush's presidential power grab is not unprecedented and can be restrained. The three branches of the government are constantly moving the center of balance between the three legs of our government

What is disturbing is his lack of using the veto power vested to him as a tool to make Congress work out the will of the people.

I seriously doubt this is a ploy to install himself as dictator, it's more of his lack of trust in the Congress to ultimately do the will of the people, which is condescending at least.
