Alito shows his hand, and Bush is ready to shake it

That is, Alito is on record in saying that the President may bring his own interpretation to legislature enacted by Congress (and should spell it out in the process of signing that legislature), and Bush follows that guidance in reserving the right to ignore specific regulations recently passed concerning sale of weapons and use of torture. You know, it's the law unless I prefer otherwise.

Will somebody step into this on the side of a balance of power?? Filibustering Alito seems key, but almost beside the point as the country slides into autocracy...
