From today's New York Daily News comes this statement:
"President Bush has quietly claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant, the Daily News has learned.
The 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."
The actual signing statement found on the White House website is here.
Hopefully we'll see more analysis and scrutiny of this latest, but unsurprising, assault on the Fourth Amendment.

The dryer sheet will keep your clothes smelling fresh. Water tank capacity: 5-1/2 cups o It is better to wash delicate dishes like fine china, hand painted dishes, wood and cast iron by hand rather than loading in the dishwasher. The companies also offer you the option to choose from single or combi machines. This method has been applied and fiddled with for years.
