Al Re...You, quizzically, cut this man a lot of slack. Quizzically???? Surely you have heard of separation of powers in the constitution. You dems were yelling that for 5 yrs during Bill's tenure. Doesn't gW have that very same right. Separation of powers does not mean the president is not beholden to Congress; in fact, he is to be to some degree. The point of separation of powers is so that no one branch can get out of line and put the US out on a limb. However, the separation of powers precept has failed us. Congress screwed up......they let Bush get us into a war over the flimsiest of reasons because they were afraid to object or they couldn't object because they belonged to the GOP. Relinquishment of their duties by past congresses led us to this mess. The Constitution has been subverted and the presidential branch now declares war instead of the branch that was assigned that responsibility by the Constitution.......Congress.
