Subject: RE: Once Again, White House Acts Like a Royalist Reign: Senate Panel Rebuffed on Documents on U.S. Spying. Is This Democracy or Tyranny? What Did the Patriots of 1776 Rebel Against? Why, King George. Here We Go Again.

I just taught a class on the English Civil War of the 1640s and have to correct your comment. After the execution of King Charles I, no English monarch has dared claim to be above the law or beyond the reach of Parliament. George W. Bush is making a claim that George III wouldn't have dared make.
