Seriously...wow...

I am going to write as little as possible and let the irony of this one speak for itself:

The President declared today, May 1, Law Day. Specifically,
This year's Law Day theme, "Liberty Under Law: Separate Branches, Balanced Powers," honors the wisdom of the separation of powers that the Framers of our Constitution established for the Federal Government. Delegates to the Constitutional Convention recognized the risks that accompany the concentration of power and devised a system in which the Federal Government's authorities are divided among three independent branches. James Madison highlighted the importance of our Constitution's separation of powers when he wrote, "the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands . . . may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."

yes...I'll let that sink in, that President Bush declared a Law Day with those aims...and write about the absolute irony of it in twenty-four hours time.
