The bill would allow shareholders of corporations to at least have a say in the salaries given to executives. Passage came after defeat of a Republican motion to recommit with instructions. A motion to recommit returns a bill to committee, in effect killing it; a motion to recommit with instructions is a last opportunity to amend the bill.

We have got to get the United States back into the community of nations. The way to do it is to end funding for Bush's wars and to remove Bush/Cheney et al., by impeachment. If Congress will just read the Constitution they have sworn to uphold, the rest is a "no-brainer."

Americans overwhelmingly support a congressional investigation into White House involvement in the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, and they say President Bush and his aides should answer questions about it without invoking executive privilege.

Karl Rove "may have forfeited potential claims of executive privilege over the dismissals of eight U.S. attorneys -- if he communicated about the matter outside the White House e-mail system, using his Republican National Committee e-mail account or RNC equipment," says Alexis Simendinger in the National Journal.

Executive Privilege: George Washington invoked it, Dwight Eisenhower named it and Richard Nixon abused it. Now it looms as the nuclear option in George W. Bush's battle with Congress over its investigation into the firing of eight U.S. attorneys. So what the heck does it mean, and how much weight will it carry in the current standoff?

Rather than follow the law and veto bills which he feels are repugnant to the Constitution, President Bush is using these signing statements as a way to nullify them, in practice, as they "relate to the executive branch."

All too many Americans are unaware that lawmakers used the patriotic-sounding mantra of "national security" to amass political capital. Immigration legislation last year included myriad 'enforcement' and 'security' provisions that, in reality, had nothing to do with security - or immigration enforcement.

If Cheney were the actual president, he simply could not govern with the same set of policies and approval ratings of 20%. The media focuses relentless attention on the president, on the premise that he is actually the chief executive. But for all intents and purposes, Cheney is chief, and Bush is more in the ceremonial role of the queen of England

The British East India Company was more than a commercial enterprise. With its own army, navy and civil service, it was a law unto itself. Nick Robins' new history paints a hard-nosed picture, devoid of even a scintilla of nostalgia for the Raj. It is the story of a robber-baron organization that set the model for today's rapacious multinationals.

The courts are the last line of defense that "we the people" have to protect ourselves from abuses by the legislative and executive branches. If judges collude with either of the other two branches of government then the separation of powers, and thus, all hopes for individual liberty, will collapse.

It is the legal document that lays out the rules by which a contest for freedom between people and their government in America should be played out.
