Ustwo, that is the single most patently ludicrous argument I've ever seen you try to float.
"Bush was elected, therefore has a mandate, therefore it's the will of the people that he steamroll the congress".
Dude... CONGRESS was elected. YOU voted for members of it. Where's THEIR mandate? Things have CHANGED since 2002. Things have changed since the middle of 2005, for that matter.
Congress has a responsibility to its constituents to protect their civil rights. Bush is trying to get away stepping on those rights. You can't just call an electoral mandate down from on high to justify behavior like this.
