“President Bush quietly has claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans’ mail without a judge’s warrant.

Bush asserted the new authority Dec. 20 after signing legislation that overhauls some postal regulations. He then issued a “signing statement” that declared his right to open mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill he had just signed, according to experts who have reviewed it.”

Let's hear it for America!

    • That's why Barack needs to be president. As a Constitutional Law senior professor he taught, respects and understands the Constitution and it's laws. Please give us our liberty back!!!

    • It's my junk mail and he needs to keep out. I vote Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed the two most ineffectual people in the world. I hope voters in their districts show them the door this election.

    • I'm worried Bush will find a reason to declare marshall law before he leaves office. And then not leave office.

    • "Go ahead and look at my mail... All i get is pre-approved credit applications and junk mail. "

      Same here, but lets say next he goes ahead and says, ehh who needs warrents to search peoples homes. Do you want them to be allowed to come into your home without a judges warrent? How about they make it legal that they be allowed access to your bank account and take your money out because you may be a terrorist?

      We lose one right, then another, and another and another follows that, etc etc.
