Can Bush legally defy Congress and the Constitution?

http://www.mslaw.edu

It seems the answer is yes. How has President Bush provided himself with legal cover for his decisions regarding warrantless wiretapping and torture? Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Charlie Savage explains how Bush has controlled the Office of Legal Counsel, often called the most important government office you have never heard of, when Dean Lawrence R. Velvel interviews him about his new book, Take Over -- The Return of the Imperial Presidency in This inversion of American Democracy, on this episode of The Massachusetts School of Laws Books of our Times.

The full interview is available at http://tinyurl.com/265obf . The Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public in television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books.

Use some valid arguments and don't talk shit but you didn't come to talk therefore you posted this:
"I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS MITSOS BUT BUSH IS NO LONGER PRESIDENT-THE CURRENT PRESIDENT IS OBAMA....TOOTH "
Tooth I don't want to discuss with you anything because I consider you an asshole tooth-pig. Stay out of my videos. I don't want your opinion. I consider you a piece of shit. I won't comment on your videos either. Deal?
By the way the changes Bush made to the laws are not reversed nor did he pay for his crimes.
Plonk!
