Non-review of "United 93"

Call me un-American, but I honestly have no desire to see "United 93".

Although I still might go see it. I'm just... I don't know, there's just so much else wrong about our country these days, and much of it stems from that murky time before 9/11, believe it or not.

For example? Go read what The Boston Globe has to say and get back to me. The events of 9/11 did not trigger the walking, talking Constitutional crisis that is the Republican party.

It only enboldened them.

Legal scholars say the scope and aggression of Bush's assertions that he can bypass laws represent a concerted effort to expand his power at the expense of Congress, upsetting the balance between the branches of government. The Constitution is clear in assigning to Congress the power to write the laws and to the president a duty "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Bush, however, has repeatedly declared that he does not need to "execute" a law he believes is unconstitutional.

Former administration officials contend that just because Bush reserves the right to disobey a law does not mean he is not enforcing it: In many cases, he is simply asserting his belief that a certain requirement encroaches on presidential power.

But with the disclosure of Bush's domestic spying program, in which he ignored a law requiring warrants to tap the phones of Americans, many legal specialists say Bush is hardly reluctant to bypass laws he believes he has the constitutional authority to override.
