bush was on top of the situation - right - and he did nothing. Must have been the plan.

Edit: he is evading and lying on levy construction. Ugh

8. The Onion....
Bush Knew About Katrina: "That video was taken way out of context. If you step back and view it as just another mistake made by the administration, it's not that bad at all."

"All this proves is he attended the meeting. There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that he was actually listening."

Supreme Court Deletes Line-Item Veto


Clinton disappointed; Opponents of veto call it a victory for the Constitution


WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 25) -- The line-item veto is unconstitutional, the Supreme Court decided Thursday, ruling that Congress did not have the authority to hand that power to the president.


The 6-3 ruling said that the Constitution gives a president only two choices: either sign legislation or send it back to Congress. The 1996 line-item veto law allowed the president to pencil out specific spending items approved by the Congress.

In his majority opinion Justice John Paul Stevens upheld a lower court's decision, concluding "the procedures authorized by the line-item veto act are not authorized by the Constitution."

If Congress wants to give the president that power, they will have to pass a constitutional amendment, Stevens said. "If there is to be a new procedure in which the president will play a different role in determining the text of what may become a law, such change must come not by legislation but through the amendment procedures set forth in Article V of the Constitution," Stevens said.

the video. Scotty McBS is tap dancing, not wanting to acknowledge they're going after reporters.

Wow, scotty escaped in a hurry today!!! Gotta luv it. What will the press do with this info?
