That wanna-be somebody who will never be anybody has been up to no good once again!
The New York Daily News has reported that Bush has given himself more new powers to open the citizen's of the United States mail without a warrant.

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAUThe President asserted his new authority when he signed a postal reform bill into law on Dec. 20. Bush then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open people's mail under emergency conditions.
That claim is contrary to existing law and contradicted the bill he had just signed, say experts who have reviewed it.

Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) said,"Despite the President's statement that he may be able to circumvent a basic privacy protection, the new postal law continues to prohibit the government from snooping into people's mail without a warrant."
It is worth noting that Mr.Waxman co-sponsored this bill.
