This is my favorite part... But Chertoff also characterized the changes as part of a broader effort to distribute money based on measurable risk factors, and he said that such grants are "not party favors to be distributed as widely as possible." Is this legal? Which part? The part where the money was distributed like pork, or the part where they determine it based on "measurable risk factors", one of which is: does a particular area have more Republicans than Democrats? Frankly, it doesn't matter anymore what the law says......Bush will do what he wants; to whit, after signing the anti torture bill, he issued 'a signing statement' suggesting he doesn't have to comply with the new law in certain situations. We are fast approaching a constitutional crisis.......we have a president who thinks he can do whatever he likes no matter what the Constitution says; that he knows what's best for the the country even if the people and Congress disagree. We have to hope that Congress has the backbone to deal with it. ted
