Robert L. Black Jr. a retired judge from the Ohio 1st District Court of Appeals makes the following statement in a recent article he penned.
The Constitution says that the president must enforce congressional enactments without exception.
Bush has implicitly defied the Supreme Court's ruling that Congress could legally give certain executive branch officials (such as, a special prosecutor) the power to act independently of the president or the executive branch. He has said that the Constitution gives him control over all executive officials regardless of what Congress enacts.
The leadership style is hierarchical, with the top guy able to make any decision he pleases basically without any approval from any quarter. It is the style of a dictator. It is 100 percent subversive of our Constitutional framework.
Are we read to discard our Constitution because we are afraid of Osama bin Laden?
