Bush's move on the $700 million violated not only Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution which vests the power of the purse with Congress, but also specific federal statutes.
I’ve done my Nation column this week on Woodward, so I am going to have to defer here, again, to David Sirota who analyzes, in detail, why Bush's move on the $700 million violated not only Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution which vests the power of the purse with Congress, but also specific federal statutes.
How crazy is Rush Limbaugh? (Well, no crazier than Bill O'Reilly to be fair.) How trashy is the Wall Street Journal edit page? Woodward is a conservative Republican, you idiots. He loved Dan Quayle, and Alan Greenspan, to say nothing of his last comic-book portrayal of young Bush.
Speaking of Limbaugh and O’Reilly, Christopher Hitchens recently visited Bucknell University to tell the students about his experience and why he feels the war is just. The lecture was sponsored by the Bucknell University Conservatives Club.
