You've Got Mail...and the President Is Reading It.

In one of his infamous "signing statements" - in which President Bush signs a bill into law but inserts remarks essentially saying that he is above the law and can ignore the bill where he sees fit - Mr. Bush has given himself and his government permission to open the mail of U.S. citizens without a warrant.

This is what happens when a C-student, and a man who has failed at every previous career attempt, ascends to the presidency. Mr. Bush doesn't understand the Constitution - in fact he's probably never looked at it (it's well above his reading level) - thus his trashing of the beloved document.
