Being a dick about typing errors? Winning.

If you couldn’t figure out I meant ‘substantiation’ then you surely shouldn’t be discussing something such as Presidential powers balanced against the Legislative branch.

So by substantiation, it would be nice if you could back up your assertion that ‘they all do it.’ Especially, is Obama doing it too?

your calling MBF is rather dickish. so, i guess we’re both being dicks, that enough MBF for you?
Yes, I cited one article from the NYT. here’s another from the Boston Globe:

My point was about the accelerating tendency for the Executive Branch to crib power from the other two branches. I thought it was terrible under Bush, continuation of bad precedent under Obama, and will be brought to an entirely new and abusive level by a monstrous President Newt. I can’t imagine how terrible it would be for judges to be hauled in front of congressional panels to explain their decisions, no matter who is in the White House.
