George Bush actually said...

"The Act strengthens the intelligence and counterterrorism capabilities of the United States."

"The executive branch shall construe provisions of the Act that purport to require consultation with the Congress as calling for, but not mandating, such consultation."

"The Supreme Court of the United States has stated that the President's authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security flows from the Constitution."

"Now is the time to solve problems and not pass them on."
