That right and wrong shall be subject to the arbitary whims of "the politics of the moment," are essentially the problem that President Bush has encouraged at times and ignored at other times, by his lack of knowledge about our Constitution, in particular, its foundations, which he believes are passe, now to be subject to whatever judges say.

The basic concept of law, that it is fixed, escapes him.

He would have his family follow his last will and testament, and woe be the family members who challenge that document --- "incontestable."

Yet he would defy that basis, that law is what it is until it is amended lawfully as proscribed, when it comes to our Constitution.

President Bush is entirely satisfied with leaving law and our Constitution subject to the lawyers.

You, on the other hand, have the right to vote.

You are supposed to rely upon your human spirit to overcome what transgressions upon that spirit, may come of finding "wiggle room" and playing Scrabble with our Constitution, that are his, in effect, nature, by way of his temerity in the face of his forever negotiating away what is not his to do so, yet he does, in order to "compromise" in a "bipartisan manner."

In the end, a 3/4ths majority of the State's Legislatures sitting in Constitutional Convention say what the Constitution is and means, based upon the input of the people through the democratic-republican process.

Opposed to that sovereignty of the people, are "the experts," so-called "legal" and otherwise (meaning, usually strongly oriented toward absolutism in the form of a police state).

George's biggest weakness is his refusal to read up on the history of our country and how much it takes to build the foundations UPON WHICH our liberties and prosperity can and may flourish.

What we have - in Hayek's words - is an arbitrary government.
