ABA president Michael S. Greco is warning of the danger that unchecked executive power poses to democracy. The focus of his crusade: President Bush's use of the presidential signing statement, a caveat that Bush has added to bills he's signed into law. Greco has convened a bipartisan ABA task force to investigate whether Bush's extensive use of the statements exceeds his powers. Says Greco: "We fought the Revolutionary War to get away from King George -- and we have another one who's acting like a king."

Michael S. Greco, the president of the American Bar Association, is on a mission these days, warning the public of the danger that unchecked executive power poses to democracy. When I met him on Monday, he said President George Bush is becoming another King George III.
“We fought the Revolutionary War to get away from King George — and we have another one who’s acting like a king,” Greco told me.
