David Addington is the shit

Phillip....that is our system....whether YOU happen to like it or not.
The Founders kicked around the idea of dividing "presidential" power around between a number of people......but ultimately decided to put ALL of that power into the hands of one guy.
That IS the system. I suppose you would now transfer your "ego" statement to Adams and Jefferson.

That part of the paraphrase: not the parts that Congress does not want to exercise itself, that is all that it refers too" suggests that if Congress is not going to take action on an issue that the President has the right too. I just watched the best documentary in my life. It is an HBO show called: Shouting Fire. It is all about the first amendment. A must see for all. I think it should be mandatory viewing for every school in America. I still have goose bumps.

He's paraphrasing Article II of the Constitution...
'The Executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.'

Wow, did you hear what he said? "All of the executive power is vested in:
A. President of the United states, 1 President, all of the executive power, not some of it, not part of it, not the parts that Congress does not want to exercise itself, that is all that it refers too!
If that last statement does not give you a picture of this guys egotistical soul, nothing will. Cheney and Addington probably got along just fine! That little quote is EXACTLY how the last administration was run!

WHAT AN ASSHOLE. This guy deserves to have his ass kicked. Probably deserves worse than that.
-
jesus, what an arrogant prick!

Has there ever been anyone who so deserved a punch in the face? Other than John Yoo, of course.

You are a Moron.

The pure embodiment of arrogance and contempt that sums up the putrid scum that is Bushes regime.
The Repubs that support this behavior are about the worst kinds of American you will ever find.
