Scary Addendum

*
Bush passes law that has not passed the House.

"But last month, Washington threw all that old-fashioned civics stuff into a tizzy, when President Bush signed into law a bill that never passed the House. Bill – in this case, a major budget-cutting measure that will affect millions of Americans – became a law because it was “certified” by the leaders of the House and Senate.

After stewing for weeks, Public Citizen, a legislative watchdog group, sued Tuesday to block the budget-cutting law, charging that Bush and Republican leaders of Congress flagrantly violated the Constitution when the president signed it into law knowing that the version that cleared the House was substantively different from the Senate’s version.

The issue is bizarre, with even constitutional scholars saying they could not think of any precedent for the journey the budget bill took to becoming a law. Opponents point to elementary school civics lessons to make their case, while Republicans are evoking an obscure Supreme Court ruling from the 1890s to suggest a bill does not have to pass both chambers of Congress to become law."

How many laws do they have to break before people wake up to what these people are doing? They just by-passed the one branch of government that represents the American people. It doesn't matter if you agree with the proposed legislation or not, it was passed without our representatives, and by proxy our, consent. It's illegal. Illegal as selling drugs or breaking & entering. Write your representatives! Demand that this adminstration follow the Law!
