It's why I enjoy your blog so much.Sequanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617638382237815770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-9336592114661810782012-05-17T21:15:44.334-05:002012-05-17T21:15:44.334-05:00Take care Bill.

I take that back: he prefers passing law, but will rely on other means as well.<br /><br />I think that the President very much wants to undo some of the most egregious Bush era abridgements of Constitutional liberties, but there are two issues:<br /><br />1) He doesn't want to lay down any tools that he thinks will help him do whatever task is at hand as well as he can, and<br /><br />2) He also knows that if Congress passes a law negating Bush-era transgressions, Congress can later reinstate them just as easily with another law. It's worse if he were to do it by exec. order, in a similar way--the next GOP Pres could unilaterally reinstate what Obama took away.<br /><br />The only way to do it is through juridical principle, on a case by case basis. He is very big on the Constitution, though luke warm I think on the current Court. He gets more in a way by having DOJ fail in court on some things than if Congress passed a law he supported to the same effect.<br /><br />Send good vibes for my health. I'm sick, with a ton of work to do, and I don't like it.Billhttp://freeandeasywandering.com/noreply@blogger.com
