Medellin (and Bush) v. Texas by Andrew C. McCarthy
George W. Bush, the imperial president of left-wing lampoon, orders his National Security Agency to intercept enemy communications without judicial warrants -- something the courts have repeatedly ruled presidents have inherent authority to do -- and the left decries the purportedly criminal sundering of our Constitution.
Yet, the same George W. Bush issues a diktat declaring unto himself the power to rewrite state law and command state judges -- authority no president has ever had in our federalist system of divided powers -- and the left falls silent, and least when its shock troops are not sheepishly applauding.
