"Bush doctrine: The president as commander in chief can do whatever he wants regardless of Congress"

simply put...

[T]he Bush doctrine: The president as commander in chief can do whatever he wants regardless of Congress. There must be no checks and balances, no accountability. There must be no disclosure to other branches of government, whether legislative or judicial. Oral findings, or, if necessary, secret memos, make the illegal legal merely by saying they are legal in the name of presidential authority. The operational need to know determines who knows.

i don't think dick cheney or david addington would disagree...

i have added this blog to a group of other sites that have banded together in common cause... as the site description on pruning shears states...

Since 2001, there has been a nearly unprecedented expansion of executive power in the United States government. Our constitution was crafted deliberately to maintain a system of checks and balances on all three branches of government. This blog serves to make the issue of executive power the main issue in the forthcoming 2008 presidential debates.
