"I cannot think of an example (it may not exist) Does Marcos count? How 'bout Fujimora of Chile? With no agreed example (I am assuming you won't agree to the two cited above), therefore, there has never been a true republic in the history of man? "

I don't know enough about their popularity or the constitutionality of their subsequent prosecution to say with any certainty.

You were the only one who said that labeling a government a "Constitutional Republic" was dependent on this. I don’t believe so.

In an abstract sense, I think a Constitution simply anchors the government's use of force from tides. In extreme conditions, all anchors can either be dragged or the lines can be snapped. But that doesn’t mean the ship was not anchored.

This is what I posted

"O'Reilly now agrees, positing that Bush will reactivate the Clinton probe only if the GOP regains control of the Senate or if "things get rough."" -article

If this is really what is happening, the USA is no longer the republic established by 'The Constitution.'

It is no less than that.

+++++++++++++++++++++

There is a vast difference - hint - Bush is not saying he will not prosecute, according to the article, bush is blackmailing the Dems with the threat of prosecution.

Big difference.

Get it? - or do you care to further misquote and make more circular , yet vaggue, assertions.

BYE
