Peter S. Canelos of The Boston Globe brings us this perspective on Mister Bush's execution of his "war powers."
When President Bush sought to reassure the country that his authorization of spying on Americans without warrants was a reasonable exercise of his power, he emphasized that his orders were always reviewed by the attorney general and the White House counsel.

Sounds like a take off on Humpty Dumpty
All the President's Lawyers;
And all the Presidents Henchmen;
Could not Bush's Approval above 50 Again.
Yes, our dear leader is busy protecting us, or so he claims, but as it becomes more and more apparent that he has dishonoured the oath he took when the preznitcy became "his", he has tried to ensure that he has all the protection he needs for having violated the oath he took. But then, he's wrong about everything, and the protection provided by his legal counsel may not be adequate after all, and the 38% who will support him no matter what can sob as he's impeached.
We'll see what happens in days and weeks to come.
