Yes, factually incorrect and ignorant.

The president makes appointments to agencies that the Congress does not get a vote in. Those agencies produce laws that the Congress has limited and sometimes no direct authority over.

Bush's administration and appointees are doing much of this alone.
If you'd think about what I wrote and try answering the questions in your stubborn mind, then you'd feel less attacked by my posts.
There is no discussion to be had here, I'm correcting your baseless conclusions. I don't particularly care if you change your mind over them because you're free to appear as ignorant as you prefer or talk to people who share the same limited knowledge you've demonstrated in your posts.

The contempt you're feeling is my contempt for ignorance and stupidity. I don't know you personally and frankly I would not want to meet you in person because I don't like engaging with people with lackluster reasoning abilities and that's what your posts have demonstrated to me over the years.

My claim couldn't be better demonstrated than by the fact you asking what Bush has done against the Constitution and me pointing out two recent articles claiming the administration is changing policies to allow police agencies to spy on and share information with federal authorities that runs afoul of our decades long protections against such behavior. But your response is to turn it into a partisan rant? and then push it to an anti-smooth's brilliant mind and points rant? and then start talking about my excrement? have fun with that...

some people don't know all that information, I don't expect them to. but if you're given the information you asked for and then start a different argument that's evidence to me you weren't really asking to find out information, you were asking what you thought was a rhetorical question in order to be an asshole. so get surprised when you get treated like an asshole.

you're mad at me because I realized sooner than you wanted me to that you were being an asshole?
