    Reining in the Imperial Presidency

    The day before this motion was filed, "House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) announced the publication of the final version of the Democratic Committee staff report on systematic abuses of presidential power during the Bush administration."

    I was reading it with a little bit of hope before I saw this post. 541 pages outlining all the abuses of the Bush administration and including 50 detailed recommendations. It seems like a monumental waste of time and I feel much the same as you do right now, DCLaw1. I'll probably snap out of it in a day or two.
