One of the difficulties of getting good legislation instituted is that Bush continues to use "signing statements" which can completely undermine the effective points in the legislation. What the MAJOR difficulty is, however, is that the general population has no idea whatsoever about the processes of government which are or are not legal. They have effectively "given up" on trying to understand how their own government works. If we had an involved and educated electorate, we "might" be able to have government by and for the people, instead of vested interests. end of rant. LOL
