George III claims to be above the law again.

When he signed the defence authorization bill which includes a proviso banning torture and cruel inhumane and degrading treatment, Bush also signed a "signing statement" in which he said that the new law doesn't restrict him anymore than the old law did.

This is absurd. The President doesn't write the law and can not decide what congress meant.

Who supports this insane assault on the constitution ? Samuel Alito that's who. I'd say he should be forced to try to explain why he supported this travesty before his nomination is rejected.
