Bush quietly sets up his dictatorship

Add comment April 30th, 2006

Bush challenges hundreds of laws

President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.

[NYU law professor David] Golove said that to the extent Bush is interpreting the Constitution in defiance of the Supreme Court’s precedents, he threatens to ”overturn the existing structures of constitutional law.”

A president who ignores the court, backed by a Congress that is unwilling to challenge him, Golove said, can make the Constitution simply ”disappear.”

A friend’s wedding

3 comments April 30th, 2006

My very good friend Vicki was married yesterday to her new husband, Alan.  (Good men share a good name.  Hehehe.)  Deidre and I were there, enjoying the ceremony and reception, and I took over 200 photos. 

They had an ‘official’ photographer who was a friend who offered to take the photos for free.   I was their unofficial backup.  Which was good, ’cause the other guy seemed to hang around at the back of the church, while I was up the front from all kinds of different angles, getting all the good shots.  The other guy was there for photos between the ceremony and reception, but then he disappeared and was never seen again.  So it’s a good thing I continued getting all the good photos.

I’ll be putting them up on a website somewhere, so guests, etc, can see samples and then choose to buy those they want to.  I’ll put some of the best in my own photo blog as well.
