But, Phyllis, haven't you heard? There's a "war" on. We can't be bothered with insignificant matters like unconstitutional legislation. The American people are demanding that the man in control of the most powerful fighting force in the world be given as much power as possible, Constitution be damned. It is blatantly unpatriotic to utter even one syllable of criticism against our commander in chief. He only wants what's best for this country and we should remove all unnecessary constitutional restraints so he can do his job.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." ---Teddy Roosevelt.

Thanks for the bump as always friend.

Are these scumbags doing this again???!!!

At any rate, republicans do not care for the constitution in the slightest. Congress has on hundreds of occassions passed their responsibility to the executive branch in the form of "administrative law" which allows heads of the various cabinets to make their own laws.

I do have to wonder how many who are posting pro-Fast Track Trade would be doing so if Gore had won the election. The blind can not see past their own parties term. The question must be addressed besides the constitutional aspect is do you want Al Gore or Hillary Clinton to have these powers. If the answer is no then why would any thinking person believe these choices will disappear or do a Cinderella when Bush leaves office?

I disagree with much of the Bush agenda as most of it resembles much of what Gore pushed as well just not as extreme. Conservatives in the GOP aren't even addressing conservative issues anymore much less constitutional ones. They instead address just how far left can they go to get a Dem vote from the other side and get away with it.

Conservatism and the call for pro-constitutional government in the GOP is dead. It died in 1995. Only a small fraction of conservatism remains and it's mostly in the way of monotary issues. Even then when up against the billfold or the constitution the billfold wins hands down. The RNC just doesn't want to tell the survivors the truth. It's afraid they might ask for their inheritance.
