Perhaps that is how Bush himself sees it, but the sting that every American feels these days comes from their wallet.
Bush is leaving us a deficit larger than any other president has left us and just as we are in an economic downturn to boot!
Forget about the war glory! What will Americans think when they have traded their right to privacy for it? What about being tracked with a national ID card? Will winning the war seem so important when it results in losing basic rights?
In America's present situation, I can't think of an easier way to spread the word about bills than on the net. One would think that the MEDIA should do us a favor and report what is going on. That is what they are supposed to do.
But all joking aside, in politics, you won't be handed what you want. You have to work for it. If Americans want their civil rights or their income taxes back, they will have to use their voting power while they still have it.
There is this class of people who seem to think you can just pass any law you like, it is the supreme courts job exclusively to decide what is constitutional.
President Andrew Jackson used his power to interpret the Constitution independently when he allowed the Second US Bank contract to expire in 1833. There was nothing the other branches could do about it.
Not long after that, the Supreme Court gave themselves the power to interpret the constitution for everyone else, which Congress has done nothing about. The Supreme Court is the most powerful branch now because it has the last word.
