Jennifer Van Bergen on the "Unitary Executive"

Author of the book, The Twilight of Democracy : The Bush Plan for America, Jennifer Van Bergen appeared on yesterday's edition of Guerrilla Radio. You can listen to that here. Van Bergen discussed the Bush administration's use of "signing statements" in the context of what is called the "unitary executive." She explained how these signing statements relate to the administration's interpretation of the renewal of the Patriot Act and the McCain Anti-Torture Ban. Read for yourself the signing statement issued on Patriot Act to see just how toothless the idea of "separation of powers" can be.
