Might there be a causal relation between the Bush administration’s cavalier, if not hostile, attitude toward law and its dazzling inability to acknowledge mistakes and manage midstream readjustments? Could it be that a willingness to flout the law and circumvent the Constitution tends to produce not nimbleness, but obduracy and intransigence?
布什政府对于法律并不恭敬，甚至存有敌意，而拒不承认错误并且处理中期的重新调整。这二者之间是否有着一点联系呢？是否有人愿意蔑视法律、绕开宪法将会产生顽固和不妥协、而不是灵活性呢？
