[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 76106, member: 2189"] I think at this point the democrats would take anything they could use to discredit the man. As for the unitary executive theory I believe Bush has used it 95 times so far during his tenure and I will agree it does seem to go far beyond Article 2 powers and beyond the seperation of powers doctrine but Congress has no clean hands either. The Congress will create various mandated programs to the States whereby Congress sets the rules and telling the States that they either perform the executive powers enforcement or lose federal funding in a variety of programs. The President and the executive branch are delegated the powers of enforcment in Article 2 and the Congress totally sidesteps the seperation of powers with it's own version of the unitary executive theory. In the law there is something called the "Clean Hands" doctrine and neither the Congress or the office of the President IMO qualifies under that doctrine. Holding Alito to that level (while I agree to your point and am also concerned) by the Congressional democrats IMO is like a Sunday frontrow church goer speaking out in the community against all acts of sex beyond the missionary position but then on Saturday night the church goer is bangin' down the door of the local secret brothel as it's most valued customer. Oh the republicans are just as bad but their job is being Alito cheerleaders just as the roles would be reversed if the President were a democrat. Like Rome, we have seen our zenith and must endure our corrupt Ceasars and a powerless Senate while we wait on the Goths and VisaGoths to sack what will be left of us in the end! [/QUOTE]
