President Bush's nominee for Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, had some surprising testimony yesterday. Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mukasey stated his belief that the President and his administration had the constitutional authority to operate beyond the limits specified by law. Perhaps he could explain how our system of government, supposedly based upon the rule of law, differs from dictatorships? If laws can be superseded, what prevents governmental abuses of authority?
The Bush administration, its appointees, and its nominees continue to amaze me.
