Letter Of The Day

Must Raise Voice Against Limitless Presidency,” caught my eye. Though I agree with your point, I do not agree with your wording.

Words like “limitless,” “buzz off” and “cockamamie theory” show a prejudice against President Bush. There is no mention of President Jimmy Carter’s case of United States v. Truong, where Carter’s Justice Department claimed Carter had a “constitutional prerogative” to conduct this warrantless wiretap. So it was OK for Carter in peace time but wrong for Bush now? In my opinion it was wrong both times.
