Will we defend anything and everything Mr. Bush does? We trust in each of our three branches of government to hold the other two accountable for obvious breaches and abuses. However, when one branch oversteps its bounds to overturn another's thoughtful and lawful decision, that in itself is an abuse of power - especially when it directly benefits the one who abuses this privilege. Keep in mind Libby's conviction was not a bi-partisan decision as the Judicial Branch (and the Legislative Branch at the time)even reflects the administration's policies and political philosophies. The Executive Branch has a direct conflict of interest in this case of overturning a Judicial Branch desicion which incidentally stemmed from an abuse of power in the Executive Branch. This fits with the SOP of the current administration of making poor decions based on emotion and personal gain instead of logic and what is best for the nation, thereby threatening the saftey and sovereignty of these great United States.
I guess you didn't take the time to read the link?
