Op-Ed: Bush Welcoming Constitutional Crisis

According to Washington Post columnist E.J Dionee Jr, the stalemate between President Bush and the Democratically controlled Congress could turn into something more than a power grab or fundamental argument. The Iraq war has caused so much unrest in the country, which President Bush has ignored, that it could do more than divide our government and break the fabric of our Constitution.

Dionee wrote, "Bush might still win this Senate vote and a reprieve for his war policy. But the president's refusal to acknowledge that the country has fundamentally changed its mind on the war makes it impossible for him to work with Congress on a sensible approach to a withdrawal that will happen some day -- with or without a constitutional showdown."

Dionee is spot on here. Mr. Bush has constantly and repeatedly been unwilling to compromise on any issue, especially the war, in which a vast majority of the country disagrees with him. Again the Bush administration proves that they are more about power than policy, more about the party than the people, and more about politics than about popular freedoms. It is a painful reality for our beloved country, but more and more becoming a sad reality that our President is ignoring the Constitution and turning members of his own party against his ideas.
