If I were to name the one thing that I found most bothersome in the book, the one thing that I see as an all out assault on, not just reason, but on our democracy; it’s the use of the presidential ‘signing statement’. This man, Bush, has the gall to tell us that he will not observe the law as written and that it’s his interpretation (not the courts) that stands. Where are the outcries from the courts? The legislature? Are they deaf and dumb? (You may use that last word in any way you wish) And worst of all; where are the citizens? Watching television.
