Hi Mig....
You said it well, with little side props...
I do not understand why Phil gets so sidelined on unimportant issues.. We do not need a study course on what our Bill of rights "is".. What we NEED is action to get them back into the peoples hands... Hence, the Republic is at this moment, on its death bed....

we would have succumbed to a tyranny long ago.

There are many countries which had constitutions but succumbed to tyranny. The Constitution is 'just a goddamn peice of paper' - per Bush. It means nothing to him or his cronies. After all, ~he's~ the 'decider'.

Bush skirts law with 'signing statements' - GAO report faults President

.
(quote) "President George W. Bush breaks the law by failing to follow provisions of legislation passed by Congress and illegally modifies those bills through the use of "signing statements" that add his own interpretations or limitations.
.
"That's the conclusion of an investigation by the General Accounting Office, an independent investigatory arm of Congress..."
.
"The American Bar Association, at an annual meeting last year, approved a resolution condemning use of signing statements, saying presidents should not resort to diluting or changing laws passed by Congress rather than using their veto powers." (end)

Can you show me where Bush made such a statement about the Constitution being "just a goddam piece of paper"?
.
That is an impeachable offense of which Congress would immediately begin the proceedings.

Bush challenges hundreds of laws - President cites powers of his office
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articl...
April 30, 2006
.
(quote) "WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.
...
"Many legal scholars say they believe that Bush's theory about his own powers goes too far and that he is seizing for himself some of the law-making role of Congress and the Constitution-interpreting role of the courts.
.
"Phillip Cooper, a Portland State University law professor who has studied the executive power claims Bush made during his first term, said Bush and his legal team have spent the past five years quietly working to concentrate ever more governmental power into the White House.
.
'There is no question that this administration has been involved in a very carefully thought-out, systematic process of expanding presidential power at the expense of the other branches of government," Cooper said. 'This is really big, very expansive, and very significant." (end)

"We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let word go forth from this place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans... unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today."

Well, I have no desire to defend the president and I'm sure you know that.
.
But, the evidence given here qualifies as hearsay no matter how true it may be. It would be good if any two of the people who were at that meeting would exhibit the necessary courage to make public statements to validate that is exactly what Mr. Bush actually said.

If you heard it, would you dare come forward and confirm it - given the climate these days? Imagine the possible ramifications - to you and/or your loved ones.
.
Actions speak louder than words. Bush's actions confirm that this is indeed his attitude.
