How's this for hilarity? GW gives a speech to the Federalist Society 15 November 2007, a speech in which he praises the three branches of government and their roles of checks & balances on each other and the how the President's oath of office commits him to do his best to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." followed by saying I take these words seriously. I believe these words mean what they say. What a laff riot!
Glenn Greenwald has some excellent commentary on this, far more nuanced then mine. All I have to say is remember the Cheney Energy Task Force of 2001? The records from that are still secret. Likewise, I think there are still a couple of requests for oval office documents from the congress that are still open, as well as 5 million or so missing emails. So much for them checks & balances, eh? And certainly a few more little items as well... Rachel Paulose anyone?
