Bush: It's 'Naive' to Believe the President Must Follow the Law - TalkLeft: The Politics of Crime


Freakin' naive, my butt.

Junior is about to find out all about naive.

Bush: It's 'Naive' to Believe the President Must Follow the Law - TalkLeft: The Politics of Crime:

Our ever-defiant president intends to continue wielding unbounded and unchecked executive power, regardless of what a court tells him about the law, and if you don't like it, you're naive.

'I would say that those who herald this decision simply do not understand the nature of the world in which we live,' Mr. Bush said in a question-answer session at Camp David, Md.

'This decision' refers to Judge Taylor's declaration that the NSA wiretapping program is unconstititutional (discussed here and here at TalkLeft). 'Those who herald the decision' understand the Constitution and the obligation of the president to obey the law. It's really pretty simple.
