Rotten to the core

...is the Bush presidency. Dubya's "governing philosophy" can be summarized succinctly as "it's so because I say it's so". It's like we have a three-year old in the White House (apologies to all three-year olds). Mad props to the Supremes for spanking his spoiled brat backside, and may the Dems finally eat their spinach and start kicking his pasty white pampered powder-puff pussy draft-dodging cowardly ass up and down Pennsylvania Avenue.

A Governing Philosophy Rebuffed

For five years, President Bush waged war as he saw fit. If intelligence officers needed to eavesdrop on overseas telephone calls without warrants, he authorized it. If the military wanted to hold terrorism suspects without trial, he let it.

Now the Supreme Court has struck at the core of his presidency and dismissed the notion that the president alone can determine how to defend the country. In rejecting Bush's military tribunals for terrorism suspects, the high court ruled that even a wartime commander in chief must govern within constitutional confines significantly tighter than this president has believed appropriate.
