The New York Daily News is reporting President Bush has quietly claimed the right to open Americans’ mail without a judge’s warrant.
Bush has issued a “signing statement” that declared his right to open people’s mail without a judge’s warrent under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and in direct contradiction to the bill he had just signed.
“You have to be concerned,” agreed a career senior U.S. official who reviewed the legal underpinnings of Bush’s claim. “It takes Executive Branch authority beyond anything we’ve ever known.”
This from the man we have vested with the responsibility to protect and defend the constitution and laws of the United States.
