Did you know that Cheney and Bush Declare Autonomous Dictatorial Powers?

Exempt themselves from executive branch

The Vice President and the President have casually declared their offices to be independent of the executive branch and completely autonomous, with Dick Cheney also attempting to abolish agencies his office is supposed to be accountable to.

President Bush has turned the executive branch into a two-way mirror. They get to see everything Americans do: our telephone calls, e-mail, and all manner of personal information. And we get to see nothing about what they do.

Everyone knows this administration has disdained openness and accountability since its first days. That is about the only thing it does not hide. But recent weeks have produced disturbing disclosures about just how far Mr. Bush鈥檚 team is willing to go to keep lawmakers and the public in the dark.

So, what do you think we ought to do about it? Complain on Y/A or write Congress reps.

No constitution, no court, no law can save liberty when it dies in the hearts and minds of men. A slave is one who waits for someone else to free him.

yes, as a matter of fact they are.

Cool!
They both stand up for their rights.
Democrats don't like them because they are manly.

While this does bug the hell out of me...your link isn't exactly scholarly. I read the whole thing, and for the most part it is a bunch of conspiracy theorist hogwash. I am a liberal, but I don't believe half of what was said on the site. I suppose we'll see come the 2008 elections whether or not Bush declares that we can't hold elections. If that happens though, I am taking up arms in the Flint Hills of Kansas with some of my friends...you can come join us.

**And to the answer above: They don't have the right to absolve themselves from the executive branch. It's not a matter of manliness or not. They recieve funding specifically dedicated to the executive branch, they should be accountable to it.
