B*sh bypasses Congress - again.
"President" B*sh evidently got impatient with waiting and with listening to all the valid reasons why John Bolton shouldn't be appointed to the UN, and instead chose to bypas Congress completely today and appoint him to be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
"This post is too important to leave vacant any longer, especially during a war and a vital debate about U.N. reform. So today I've used my constitutional authority to appoint John Bolton to serve as America's ambassador to the United Nations."
ie. B*sh waited for congressional recess so he could prevent a vote. Because voting is just not the way things are done in a dictatorship.
Checks, balances anyone ? Or are you Americans just going to let Texan Hitler continue to trample all over your constitution and rights?
This is worrying on two counts. For one, Bolton is a warmonger cut from the same cloth as B*sh, and he's pissed off the UN too many times in the past. This means the liklihood of a war in Iran and a forced draft has just gone up by infinity. More worrying, B*sh has demonstrated his will to use "consitutional authority" to get his way rather than allowing elected representatives to vote on the matter. Extrapolate that another 3 years to when the supreme court has had two major positions filled with pro-B*sh patsies. This means that with his supreme court supriority, B*sh could alter the consitution and make it allow a third term.
Think about that, people.
