George W. Bush continues his quest to turn the President’s office into a full dictatorship. The Washington Post recently reported that due to Congress’s failure to approve specific pieces of legislation, Bush will use more executive orders over the upcoming months to get things done. Bush has already seized additional powers through a series of draconian laws like the Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act as well as through the use of unconstitutional executive orders and directives like NSPD-51/HSPD-20 which gives Bush the power of a dictator in the case of a catastrophic emergency.
From the Washington Post:
The White House plans to try implementing as much new policy as it can by administrative order while stepping up its confrontational rhetoric with Congress after concluding that President Bush cannot do much business with the Democratic leadership, administration officials said.
According to those officials, Bush and his advisers blame Democrats for the holdup of Judge Michael B. Mukasey’s nomination to be attorney general, the failure to pass any of the 12 annual spending bills, and what they see as their refusal to involve the White House in any meaningful negotiations over the stalemated children’s health-care legislation.
White House aides say the only way Bush seems to be able to influence the process is by vetoing legislation or by issuing administrative orders, as he has in recent weeks on veterans’ health care, air-traffic congestion, protecting endangered fish and immigration. They say they expect Bush to issue more of such orders in the
next several months, even as he speaks out on the need to limit spending and resist any tax increases.
The Washington Post article refers to administrative orders that Bush will use to influence the political process. Upon researching these specific administrative orders, it is clear that they are referring to executive orders and use the term administrative orders to sound more politically correct and less alarming. They specifically cite a so called administrative order on endangered fish. That so called administrative order which can be viewed via this link is actually an executive order.
This report from the Washington Post is incredibly disturbing considering the previous history of this criminal administration seizing power through draconian laws, executive orders and more. The fact that White House aides are openly stating that they expect Bush to issue more executive orders in the next several months in an effort to influence the political process is completely insane and unconstitutional. It is a clear violation of the separation of powers and should be addressed by Congress immediately.
Unfortunately, we probably won’t see Congress do anything to stop Bush on his quest to become a dictator. In fact it appears as if Congress is on the same team as Bush after the House of Representatives passed HR 1955 which gives the government a blank check to classify anything including thought crimes as homegrown terrorism by a 404 to 6 margin. Congress has also done nothing to stop Bush’s previous unconstitutional executive orders and directives, so expecting them to stop future Presidential edicts is nothing more than a pipe dream. If this type of thing continues, Bush could in fact become a dictator unless something is done immediately to impeach him and his criminal administration.

I suspect the establishment might prefer to destroy the country rather than let someone who does not serve their interests take over power.
I suspect the coming months will be interesting to say the least.
