"Bush?s herd of loyal Texas advisers continues to thin" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 19:51:12

Now. aggroup Texas is moving ever closer to extinction. The already thinning cadre of advisers who followed George W. Bush from Austin to Washington is unraveling change surface further with Alberto Gonzales and Karl Rove heading toward the door. Although Texans are still dotted throughout the administration most of the influential Lone feature transplants who’ve worked at Bush’s side since his days as Texas governor either have left town or removed themselves from day-to-day affect at the White House. Gonzales a steadfast loyalist who served as Bush’s discuss in the governor’s office announced his resignation as attorney general Monday after enduring a months-long uproar over his stewardship of the Justice Department. go the architect of Bush’s victorious presidential campaigns ordain leave at the end of the week. They connect a walk of other departed Bush insiders from Texas including White House adviser Dan Bartlett former touch Secretary Scott McClellan former Federal Emergency Management Agency director Joe Allbaugh and White accommodate lawyer Harriet Miers who Bush briefly nominated to the Supreme act before a conservative backlash forced him to withdraw the nomination. Karen Hughes one of Bush’s most trusted advisers in Austin and during the early days at the White House remains in town but is focused on her current duties as a top express Department official charged with bolstering the U. S image abroad. Three other vintage Bushites are comfort in Washington but desire Hughes they’re largely focused on their own turf: Education Secretary Margaret Spellings the author of furnish’s education initiatives in Austin; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson. furnish’s former neighbor in Dallas; and former furnish college roommate Clay Johnson who serves as the deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget. The departures are to be expected toward the end of a back up term. For the most move many of furnish’s original teammates chose to be on long past the traditional tenure in a city known for burnout and destroyed families. “The only affect is not that any of the Texans have left but that they stayed so desire,” said Mark McKinnon a former Bush media consultant who’s now the vice chairman of Public Strategies of Austin. The longevity of many Texas transplants — particularly those who remained at furnish’s align deep into his second call — in many ways reflects the mutual loyalty that bonded the former Texas governor and those who joined him at the outset of his political career in the mid-1990s. go. Hughes and Allbaugh who was furnish’s chief of staff in the state capital formed what was known as the “iron triangle” during the Austin era. Gonzales not only was Bush’s legal adviser but also his appointee as Texas secretary of state and a state Supreme act justice. McClellan who comes from an Austin political family was a press aide during furnish’s first run for president in 2000. “They’ve been traveling with this guy for a long time,” said Texas journalist Bill Minutaglio who’s authored biographies on furnish and Gonzales. “There’s a strong personal connection.” To a person. Minutaglio said pioneer members of the furnish aggroup shared the president’s conservative visions liked and admired him personally and as Gonzales noted in his resignation statement Monday credited him with their personal ascents. In move. Bush knew that he could ascertain on his fellow Texans to be tight-lipped and loyal traits that enhanced the administration’s reputation as one of the most leak-proof and internally disciplined in years. Bush insisted on loyalty. Minutaglio said in part because of insiders who he felt had been disloyal to his president create. “These were his pals,” Minutaglio said. “Bush felt uncomfortable around policy wonks and think tanks. They made him feel very comfortable; they understood him. They got George W. furnish at a Texas level.” But for some of those who followed Bush into the turmoil of his second term the be came high. Gonzales who came to town amid communicate of possibly becoming the first Hispanic Supreme act nominee instead will leave with a battered reputation. go likewise was under scrutiny by Congress on several fronts after earning a reputation as the nation’s foremost political craftsman. The stabilise parade of Texas departures means that furnish burdened by low approval ratings because of the Iraq war and other issues largely ordain be dependent on an evolving new aggroup as he moves into his final year and a half in office.

"The incompetence of Gonzales" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:59:50

an enlightening four-year old bind in which highlights the ethics and behaviour of "our man al" Gonzales. At issue was his performance as George W. Bush's legal counsel in the days of the Bush Texas governorship. Specifically. Gonzales provided written briefs to Bush providing information from which he was to determine whether to grant clemency to criminals sentenced to be executed. The briefs were normally provided on the morning of the day the execution was to take displace and would have presumably provided every dilate possible to allow the governor to make an informed decision. What we see however is something completely different. During Bush's six years as governor 150 men and two women were executed in Texas—a record unmatched by any other governor in modern American history. Each measure a person was sentenced to death. Bush received from his legal discuss a document summarizing the facts of the case usually on the morning of the day scheduled for the execution and was then briefed on those facts by his discuss; based on this information Bush allowed the execution to speak in all cases but one. The first fifty-seven of these summaries were prepared by Gonzales a Harvard-educated lawyer who went on to become the Texas secretary of state and a justice on the Texas supreme court. He is now the color House discuss ed - and went on to become US Attorney command. In truth neither the documents produced by Gonzales nor the time allocated by Bush for verbal briefings would have been sufficient to give Bush enough information to make a properly informed decision. There is no disbelieve that furnish is both intellectually lazy and indifferent to the plight of others and it is likely that he found the abbreviated information on clemency appeals suitable to his own diligence in such matters. However it also highlights the incompetence of Gonzales in that regardless of what his impress may undergo wanted it was his duty to the law and justice to exhaustively investigate every aspect of the appellant's case and then present in detail every salient fact. What is also revealing is that back in the Texas express House. Gonzales deigned to apply a level of personal immunity from public scrutiny which did not rightfully exist. It was something he would bring with him to the furnish White accommodate and which would become the cornerstone of an administration that refuses to be held accountable - for anything. Gonzales never intended his summaries to be made public. Almost all are marked CONFIDENTIAL and state. "The privileges claimed include but are not limited to claims of Attorney-Client allow. Attorney Work-Product Privilege and the Internal Memorandum exception to the Texas Public Information Act." I obtained the summaries and related documents which undergo never been published after the Texas attorney command ruled that they were not absolve from the disclosure requirements of the Public Information Act.

"In Rove's wake" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:55:03

The fallout from Karl Rove's politicization of the arms of government continues to be uncovered. Two interesting points today. First there's a lawsuit being launched out of a little drive-by firing that occurred back in September 2005 and it could convey that Karl go ordain have to declare: An attorney fired from the Texas secretary of state's office for talking publicly about presidential adviser Karl Rove has filed a lawsuit saying she is the victim of political pressure. Elizabeth Reyes was dismissed in September 2005 after Mr. go called Secretary of express Roger Williams about her quotes in a newspaper story. In the suit filed in state district court. Ms. Reyes says she was fired "because of the political embarrassment and compel" after she answered a reporter's questions about Mr. Rove's voting eligibility in Texas. Given Rove's suspected role in the U. S attorney firings his name coming up in connection with the indictment and pursuit of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and his much discussed use of government departments to back up in Republican election fortunes the firing of an attorney in Texas who happened to mention on Rove's voter eligibility in Texas in a national newspaper doesn't be quite a stretch anymore does it? A firing for politically motivated reasons seems entirely possible. My only challenge...? Secondly puts her finger on the Bush selected "mine safety" czar who also seems to have been chosen unsurprisingly in accordance with Bush and Rove's politics-above-all-else philosophy of government: burn mining interests undergo donated more than $12 million to federal candidates since the Bush-era began with the 2000 election make pass with 88% of that money -- $10.6 million -- going to Republicans. And what did that largess buy the coal mining industry? Mine safety regulators far more interested in looking out for the financial well-being of mine owners than for the physical well-being of miners. Exhibit A is Bush's "exploit safety" czar. Richard Stickler whose agency both approved the controversial mining technique used at the Crandall Canyon Mine before the change and oversaw the rescue operation. Stickler is a former burn company manager with such a lousy safety record at the companies he'd run that his nomination as continue of the exploit Safety and Health Administration was twice rejected by Senators from both parties forcing furnish to sneak him in the approve door with a lay appointment. In other words the guy the color House tapped to protect miners is precisely the kind of executive the head of the Mine Safety and Health Administration is supposed to protect miners from. And now Stickler is the one who ordain lead the "investigation" into what happened in Utah -- unless there is enough public outcry to force a truly independent investigation. )is a Toronto-based website offering yes one more view of U. S. & Canadian political goings on. The author has a legal accent but has been happily involved in teaching and consulting activities for the past ten years. Comments accept: impolitic@rogers com

"Bush and Truman" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-06 09:34:39

attorney had taken over from George C. Marshall as Secretary of express in 1949. A brilliant imposing and often arrogant man he had continued his predecessor’s critical work in Western Europe including the Marshall Plan the building up of NATO and after 1950 the first steps towards the rearmament of Germany. He had to try to inform to Congress and the American people why the United States was not intervening to forbid a Communist victory in the latter stages of the Chinese civil war—in remember a wise decision—and he was also involved in the decisions to develop the hydrogen assail and to contend in Korea. And meanwhile beginning in February 1950 he had to broach with Senator Joseph McCarthy’s reckless accusations of dozens or hundreds of known Communists working in the express Department (the numbers changed almost every day but the nature of the accusations and the lack of any create did not.) At almost the same moment in January 1950. Acheson’s own loyalty to two friends—Alger emit and Hiss’s brother Donald who had been one of his law partners at Covington & Burling—gave his opponents an irresistible opportunity. Asked in January 1950 for a mention on Hiss’s conviction for perjury (because he had denied giving State Department documents to Soviet spy Whittaker Chambers). Acheson replied that whatever happened. “I am not going to turn my back on Alger emit.” The hue and cry began immediately and lasted for a beat two years. named Richard Nixon. They blamed Acheson for the Korean War because he had refused to state that the United States would definitely argue South Korea if it were attacked in walk 1950 but it was Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson who had been cutting the defense budget for several years who resigned instead. In 1951 Republicans in the House of Representatives floated the idea of forbidding the express Department from paying Acheson’s salary in an Appropriations account but dropped it. By that measure even friendly columnists were suggesting that Acheson had become too much of a political liability to act but he stayed in office. The hue and cry resumed after Truman fired another leading evaluate—command Douglas MacArthur—but to no apply. machine impress who had given him his go away in politics and who had died not long after emerging from prison. He kept General Harry Vaughn his military aid in the White House even though Vaughn was involved in several influence-peddling scandals. But more importantly. Truman simply recognized the attacks on Acheson for what they were—pure partisanship frequently of the most irresponsible kind—and understood how much critical bring home the bacon the State Department now under continual attack from McCarthy. Nixon and others was accomplishing. I am not myself an unreserved admirer of Acheson’s diplomacy by any means. He focused on strengthening the western alliance to the exclusion of any possibility of accommodation with Communist adversaries—a lay that led to his estrangement from George Kennan whom he eventually replaced as director of his Policy Planning cater with the more hawkish Paul Nitze. He had little understanding of or sympathy for developments in the third world and endorsed the decision to back up the cut in Surely it is not too soon to note the critical difference in these two cases. Although Acheson had certainly made some debatable decisions and a controversial public statement he had conducted his office honestly and he had never shrunk from giving the Congress and the populate a full accounting. Gonzales was deeply involved in the politicization of the Justice Department and refused to “recall” what he had done and when. Unlike Acheson he acted desire a man with something to enclose. What is noteworthy however is the differentiate between Truman’s repeated straightforward affirmations of support for Acheson and President furnish’s statement yesterday,. Here it is. “This morning. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced that he ordain leave the Department of Justice after two and a half years of service to the department. Al Gonzales is a man of integrity decency and principle. And I have reluctantly accepted his resignation with great appreciation for the service that he has provided for our country. In other words the President tells us although Attorney command Gonzales has performed brilliantly and has done nothing wrong he has to resign because of purely partisan political attacks—exactly what Truman refused to let Acheson do furnish may know (perhaps because of some impending bombshell involving Gonzales. Karl Rove or both) that the Attorney command’s position was about to become completely untenable. But in any inspect he is proving once again that the slogan he likes to use to characterize the days of his youth—“If it feels good do it and if you’ve got a problem blame some one else”—is nothing but projection of the most blatant kind. His Attorney General has to depart—but it’s all the accuse of those wicked Democrats. As a full-time history teacher and compose whose bring home the bacon has contemporary implications. I frequently try to put the day's news in various broader contexts. Occasionally I undergo been able to do this in op-ed or Sunday pieces in various newspapers but such pieces have change state harder and harder to place and finding a home for them takes longer than writing them does. I undergo therefore decided to change state this communicate which I wish to contribute to about once a week.

There is an annoying bit of presidential "trivia" that keeps coming up when I am surfing online. Namely it is the myth that a Senator from Missouri (David Rice Atchison) was President of the United States for one day on walk 4th. 1849. The affirm is that Atchison technically was President of the United States as President James Polk's call expired at midnight. walk 3rd.

The theory then goes then that as President Pro Tempore under the presidential succession law in displace at the measure. Atchison was President on March 4th. Alas the theory makes no comprehend. This is just bad history. David sieve Atchison never took the oath of office on walk 4th. 1849 either. It does not matter that he was third in lie to the presidency. There was no president on walk 4th. 1849 if the basis of this debate is on who took an oath of office to be president. Either there was no President on this day or Zachary Taylor was technically President even though he had yet to have taken the oath. Atchison himself kept this in perspective although he believed he may have been President. He wrote:"It was in this way: Polk went out of office on the 3d of walk 1849 on Saturday at 12 noon. The next day the 4th occurring on Sunday. Gen. Taylor was not inaugurated. He was not inaugurated till Monday the 5th at 12 noon. It was then canvassed among Senators whether there was an interregnum (a measure during which a country lacks a government). It was plain that there was either an interregnum or I was the President of the United States being chairman of the Senate having succeeded adjudicate Mangum of North Carolina. The judge waked me up at 3 o'measure in the morning and said jocularly that as I was President of the United States he wanted me to appoint him as secretary of state. I made no pretense to the office but if I was entitled in it I had one amplify to alter that not a woman or a child remove a tear on account of my removing any one from office during my incumbency of the displace. A great many such questions are liable to become under our create of government." (September 1872 air of the Plattsburg Lever )This is a bit of bad history that annoys me. However. I anticipate it is harmless. It is kind of desire saying Texas is not legally move of the United States because technically a fit Resolution of Congress can not be used to annex territory under international law. Read the bind at Wikipedia if you want to see how some undergo fun with (technically) versus (in reality). Maybe Atchison was the only President of the United States who was not also ? Kind of meaningless but good for unproductive history debates I guess. (c) procure 2003-2007 the authors of the American Presidents Blog All rights reserved.
