Bush and His Quest for Power

From FT.com:

President George W. Bush had shown disdain and indifference for the US constitution by adopting an “astonishingly broad” view of presidential powers, a leading libertarian think-tank said on Monday.

This is not from some liberal not over at MoveOn.org, instead it comes from the highly respected Cato Institute. The report (Power Surge: The Constitutional Record of George W. Bush) published yesterday concludes:

President Bush’s constitutional vision is, in short, sharply at odds with the text, history, and structure of our Constitution, which authorizes a government of limited powers.

I could not agree more. Where is the leadership this Nation deserves? Why has the government expanded so much in the past 6 years?
